Celebrity Traitors cliffhanger leaves viewers waiting for banishment result
On the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, a tied vote left King Kenny to decide who would be banished.
Four contestants had voted for Scottish actress Sharon Rooney, while three backed Irish comedian Joanne McNally.
Kenny’s double vote would break the tie, but the episode ended before he revealed his choice.
Viewers now face a six-day wait to learn which of the two women is leaving the castle.
Some viewers said the cliffhanger felt pointless, especially if Kenny simply repeated his earlier choice.
This was the second Friday in a row that the programme stopped at a key moment, and the next episode is expected to reveal the banishment result.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
An episode ended during a murder in plain sight, and viewers learned six days later that Ross Kemp had been murdered.
Kenny began writing the next victim’s name on a scroll, and viewers guessed it was Miranda Hart.
The episode revealed Hart as the victim, then ended before Kenny announced his deciding banishment vote.

What people are saying
They are not creating suspense any more. They are just refusing to show us the ending.
Friday's cliffhanger was especially pointless because there is only a twist if Kenny changes his vote.
God, I hate these cliffhangers. It feels borderline insulting to the viewers. Very cheap technique.
