Richard E Grant says he was voted off The Celebrity Traitors after revealing his role
Actor Richard E Grant was voted off The Celebrity Traitors after telling other contestants that he was a traitor.
He said he had not expected them to take the confession seriously.
Grant called the decision a serious mistake and said he should have treated it as a joke.

Grant said those conditions quickly made him feel institutionalised.
His daughter had warned him before filming that he would struggle to hide his feelings.
He has chosen not to watch the series because seeing himself on an unscripted show feels uncomfortable.
