Banished Celebrity Traitors star admits he was a 'silly billy' for begging to be recruited by the Traitors

Comedian Joe Lycett, 38, was revealed as a Faithful after his fellow players voted him out, leaving new recruit King Kenny still hidden among them. Lycett said the Faithful were 'thick as mince' for missing the obvious recruit. A total of 9.3 million viewers watched his exit, with a peak of 9.6 million. He clashed with James Blunt at a tetchy round table before the vote.

Lycett tips Romesh Ranganathan to win, with Jerry Hall or Joanne McNally as curveballs.

He urged the Faithful to 'stop voting in a block' and trust their instincts.

Some viewers complained the episode was 'boring', and one switched to 'the Yorkshire Vet'.
