Watch: Joanne McNally walks off set as celebrity betrayal is exposed — and here's how to ask her your Traitors questions
Joanne McNally was shocked to learn who the traitors she had been living amongst were.
Comedian Joanne McNally, who was ‘banished’ from the castle on Thursday, screamed and ran off set as she found out the identity of the traitors.
Following a tense round table discussion during Thursday’s episode, ahead of tonight’s final, the group voted her out of the game.
McNally, who was the only Irish contestant to enter the castle in the Scottish Highlands, leaves behind the faithfuls — pop star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, singer James Blunt, actor Michael Sheen, actor and singer Sebastian Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan and the remaining traitors — TV presenter Maya Jama and YouTube star King Kenny.
Following her banishment, McNally joined Ed Gamble on where the traitors were revealed to her.
Unravelling the letter with the names of the remaining traitors inscribed, McNally was shocked.
“No!,” she exclaimed when she read the first name on the piece of paper.
“Oh my God! They gave him the dagger as the most honest…,” referring to YouTube star King Kenny.
“Well now I know why he turned on me at the end."
When asked by Gamble if she was surprised, she said: "Eh, yeah. I actually... Wow, that is genuinely terrifying."
Reading the next name, James Acaster, she screamed as she jumped out of her seat and threw the paper on the floor.
Appearing in absolute shock, she exclaimed: “That prick, the one who’s been trying to get rid of me from the start.
“Mr boom boom boom boom boom… like he doesn’t know anything... Oh my God!”
Shocked by the betrayal of the third and final name on the piece of paper, Maya Jama, McNally got up from her seat and walked off set, exclaiming: “Oh my god!”
"I am deceased," she admitted. “Honest to God, I actually cannot believe that. Maya… we were building a life together."
She also apologised to Leigh-Anne, who she said she repeatedly kept throwing under the bus, believing that she was the traitor amongst the group.
On Friday's episode of her hit podcast , she also revealed to co-host Vogue Williams what happened immediately after she declared she had always been a "hardcore faithful" to her fellow players at Thursday's roundtable.
"So, you get off the podium. They rush you out the side door, and you're bundled into a van like Whitney Houston in then you're driven to a different hotel. You have a little pack, an emergency backpack in the castle at all times. So the night you do go, you have your essentials. The next day you actually have a full day's work to do in the castle – all your B-shots, your final interviews.
"I always wondered why in the castle, if you needed to go to the bathroom or anything, it's this big kind of production... it;s because they have to make sure the castle's clear. The people who'd been banished the night before were in the castle doing all their extra last bits of work, so they were making sure no one crossed paths.
"It's such a huge production, and they run it with military precision."
McNally also revealed she plans to do a one-off Traitors special episode of MTGM to answer viewers' questions about her time in the castle.
"We'll stick a box up on our Instagram for all of your Traitors questions," Williams confirmed.
Tonight’s highly anticipated season finale will see the traitors and the faithfuls go head-to-head. In an interview with the the winner of Diego Rodrigues Caixeta, who won his series alongside fellow faithful Anna Murphy, said he is not holding his breath for a faithful win in this season of
