Some 68 per cent of roundtable votes this series have gone against women: 78 so far, against just 36 for men. The only two men banished, Richard E Grant and Joe Lycett, effectively sealed their own fate. Grant confessed to being a Traitor, and Lycett said he longed to be recruited.

Jerry Hall, Hannah Fry, Julie Hesmondhalgh and Myha'la have already been voted off.
