Celebrity Traitors fans think Ross Kemp may spot the yawning plot
Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny tried to murder in plain sight in the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors.
The task was to make a Faithful yawn by boring them, which would mark that person for murder.
Maya and James tried the plan with Ross Kemp and Jerry Hall in a room, yawning as they made conversation.
The episode ended before viewers learned which of the two, if either, would be killed.
Fans think Ross may have noticed the suspicious yawning, since he has been wary of murder-in-plain-sight twists.
If he survives, viewers think he could suspect Maya or James, while Jerry may be less likely to notice the plan.
Joe Lycett was also banished and revealed as a Faithful, after suggesting he could be recruited as a Traitor.
The latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors ended with Maya Jama, James Acaster and new recruit King Kenny trying to murder a Faithful in plain sight by making them yawn.
Viewers said the yawning looked obvious and feared Ross Kemp might recognise the scheme if he survived.
The episode implied that either Ross or Jerry Hall could fall victim to the mission.
Joe Lycett was banished after a slip-up at the roundtable, and was revealed to have been a Faithful.

Celebrity Traitors fans point out major problem with 'yawn' twist - are Maya Jama and James Acaster doomed?
What people are saying
Ross Kemp was the last person the Traitors should have encouraged into the room. He will be all over this 'murder in plain sight'. Captain's hat anyone?
This yawning task is too obvious in front of Ross Kemp!!
With all the fake yawning, Ross clocked this. Could Maya or even James have slippped up? No-one has questioned Maya yet but this may start now.
It wasn't me!
