At the firepit, Leigh-Anne Pinnock — for more on her Little Mix bandmate, read our JADE (Little Mix) biography — King Kenny and James Blunt, recently in the news for James Blunt's 'Airplane Mode' album, were banished in that order; Romesh and Bash then confirmed they were Faithfuls. The episode opened with the Traitors murdering Michael Sheen, and 21 celebrity contestants started the series.
