Celebrity Traitors' Myha'la branded a 'bad loser' after claiming 'unconscious racial bias' got her banished

Myha'la Herrold, 30, the American Industry actress, was voted off Celebrity Traitors after fellow contestants grew suspicious of her winking at confirmed traitor Richard E Grant and switching her vote at the roundtable. She acknowledged on Instagram that she 'sealed my own fate' through a series of mistakes, but added that 'unconscious racial and cultural bias exists in this game where my authenticity or honesty look suspicious to people who are unfamiliar with people like me.' Former Traitors contestant Nathan Khider dismissed the claim, telling her to 'take it on the chin' and calling her a 'bad loser.' The BBC declined to comment.

Khider, who was himself the first eliminated in season three, was blunt: 'She's made a rod for her own back — NOTHING to do with race.'

Hair entrepreneur Chantel Sachanna had gone further on Instagram, calling The Traitors 'a racist show' and claiming Myha'la was banished 'because you are BLACK.'

Myha'la defended her castmates, insisting they 'in no way consciously put bias on me because of my race' — making her own claim specifically about unconscious behaviour.
