Miranda Hart announced, “I am a pop star,” while pleading with Celebrity Traitors co‑star Leigh‑Anne Pinnock to join her in the studio after their castle‑room dance routine, dailymail.co.uk reported.
What happened
During last week’s episode of the BBC reality series, Pinnock taught Hart the choreography to Little Mix’s hit “Touch.” The pair performed the moves in a castle setting, a scene the outlet says the internet labelled the “TV moment of the year.” After the episode aired, both contestants received a vinyl record titled Big Mix: Glory Days, featuring a picture of a peacock – a nod to Hart’s earlier “PEACOCK!” exclamation on the show. Hart posted a humorous Instagram video reacting to the vinyl on Monday, while Pinnock filmed an unboxing on Sunday, describing the item as “iconic.”
What the reports add
The article notes that Pinnock’s fellow Little Mix members Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall responded to the unboxing with laughing emojis, and fellow contestant Sebastian Croft joked about wanting to buy the memorabilia. It also mentions that the dance lesson unintentionally distracted the pair while other contestants – Maya Jama, King Kenny and James Acaster – were plotting a murder in a different room.
What was said
Hart said, “Oh hi, you just caught me doing my personal pop performance preparation which I now do every morning because… it has been proved to me finally that I am inherently a pop star.” She added, “I knew it all along… Our debut album with the peacock on… If this was the debut then that obviously means there’s more to come.” Pinnock exclaimed during her unboxing, “The BBC have just sent me something, it looks like a plaque or a vinyl or something… Oh my gosh. This is iconic. What an iconic moment, what an iconic women.”
How it came about
Hart’s appearance on Celebrity Traitors follows earlier episodes in which she discussed her Lyme disease diagnosis and other health challenges, as covered by Felo News on 17 October 2026. Pinnock, a former Little Mix singer, is slated to appear on the show after her London Fashion Week debut earlier in September.
