What happened

Richard E Grant said his Celebrity Traitors confession was a catastrophically idiotic mistake, as he thought it would be taken as a joke. Julie Hesmondhalgh, a former Corrie star, said she left the show with her head held high after being banished on Friday's episode and received some apologetic texts. Grant also said the show's strict rules lead to rumours escalating, saying contestants are kind of infantilised.

Why it matters

The reports give no stated stakes beyond the contestants' comments about the show's rules and their own conduct.
