During the premiere episode of BBC One’s Celebrity Traitors, actor Richard E Grant announced he was a Traitor, prompting host Claudia Winkleman to ask fellow star Joe Lycett, “Are you?” Grant replied that there was no point in playing if he wasn’t a Traitor. In exclusive footage shared with The Standard, Lycett, filming at his newly opened pub The Lycett Arms, appeared bemused while guests reacted hysterically. The clip was posted ahead of Lycett’s Channel 4 programme Live From The Lycett Arms, scheduled for 10.00 pm the same night. Fans described the moment as “the best Traitors moment of all time” and said they were “howling” and “speechless.”
