Michael Sheen stays quiet while Acaster casts suspicion in Traitors

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 21:55 · Archive

Michael Sheen came under suspicion in Celebrity Traitors when James Acaster mentioned Richard E Grant had seemed keen to spend time with him.

Michael Sheen came under suspicion in the latest episode of Celebrity Traitors when James Acaster, who had been secretly recruited as a Traitor, pointed out that Richard E Grant had seemed unusually keen to spend time with him. The remark did not immediately trigger wider suspicion, though it was enough to put Sheen's name into consideration.

During the same round table, Sheen had offered detailed theories about the remaining Traitors' strategy following Grant's banishment, suggesting they would have needed an 'exit strategy' once his exposure became clear. He also speculated that both Hannah Fry and Jerry Hall could be Traitors, and suggested there may have been two recent recruitments.

Sheen received one vote in the round table after Acaster's comment, but his name was not mentioned when it came to determining who would be murdered. When Acaster accused him, Sheen confidently talked his way out of it, and suspicion quickly turned to Jerry Hall. WalesOnline notes that Sheen has been keeping largely in the background throughout the game, letting other contestants dominate the drama and make accusations, which may prove strategically advantageous.
