The BBC One game of wink murder made show history last night, when a roundtable ended in deadlock for the first time ever. The celebrities gathered were split between voting off Line of Duty actor Mark and TV history buff David, both of whom received the same number of votes from their fellow contestants. Host Claudia Winkleman then announced that the roundtable absolutely had to end in a banishment, so they proceeded to a second round of voting with only Mark or David in the running, and both of them without their own vote. After pleading their cases – during which David seemed slightly more convincing, but Mark looked the more dejected – the celebrities once again etched names onto their chalkboards, only for the votes to be split a second time around. Claudia informed the celebs that this was indeed the first time such a thing had happened, telling Mark and David that ‘their fate will be decided by chance’. Claudia Winkleman said someone has to be banished (Picture: BBC) Mark and David will go head-to-head in a game of chance (Picture: BBC) The tense episode ended on an (almighty unfair) cliffhanger, which saw Claudia leave the roundtable room after telling those gathered: ‘We will leave this banishment to the hands of fate.’ So what on earth could that mean? Well, we don’t know what the game of chance will be because, to reiterate, it has literally never happened before. Although it did come close in season two, when Diane, Ash and Brian all received the same amount of votes, and Claudia mentioned the game of chance back then too. What could happen in tonight’s episode of The Traitors? While we’re in the dark until tonight’s episode arrives on BBC One, Traitors fans have suggested some possible options over on X. #TheTraitors game of chance will be 100 bags. 99 of them have a gold coin in. 1 has silver. Silver coin is eliminated. There’s mice in the room. No one knows why #TheTraitorsUK— Andy Perkins (@auberginepie) October 22, 2025 What is the chance is it a flip of a coin heads or tails #TheTraitors— Christopher Hamilton (@CHamilton46668) October 22, 2025 Apparently (no spoilers) but the leaving it to fate means a sealed envelope will conceal the name of the banished player at random #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors— Mister Vivian (@MisterVivian) October 22, 2025 Comment nowHave your say in the comments belowComment Now Yet we doubt the show, which is for the entertainment of us viewing public, will go for something as simple as a coin toss. What it’s likely to be is a set-up akin to the challenges, so outside the castle, with a game that will see Mark and David go head-to-head. What we’re imagining is something along the lines of the Deathmatch card game played on the regular civilian Traitors earlier this year. That saw Fozia eliminated after playing with fellow contestants Alexander, Leon and Anna, who had been elected by the Traitors. The Celebrity Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
