James Acaster reveals cut Jerry Hall confrontation from Celebrity Traitors

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 16:20 · Archive

James Acaster has disclosed a face-to-face confrontation with Jerry Hall on Celebrity Traitors that did not air.

James Acaster has disclosed that Jerry Hall accused him of being a Traitor during filming of Celebrity Traitors, but the moment was not included in the broadcast. Speaking on Alan Carr's Life's A Beach podcast, Acaster described Hall confronting him face to face and said he responded by neither admitting nor denying the allegation, telling her 'I am sneaky, and it could be me.' Hall then said 'Mmm' and walked away.

Acaster expected the exchange to appear in the final edit, saying 'Well, that's surely that's going in the edit.' He also revealed that he played a more active role in the game than viewers saw on screen, saying 'I said a lot more around that round table than the edit would suggest.'

He believes his limited screen time was deliberate editing strategy. He explained: 'Most of the time, they want to keep how the Traitors vote as a surprise. They don't want to be like there's hints that I might go one way or the other.' Acaster's strategy of not telling direct lies meant he could imply uncertainty about his role without explicitly confirming or denying it.
