Romesh Ranganathan and James Blunt have addressed rumours of a falling-out following their tense final on Celebrity Traitors.
Romesh Ranganathan and James Blunt have addressed rumours of a feud following the Celebrity Traitors final, which was watched by over 11 million viewers. In the endgame, Ranganathan became suspicious of Blunt after the singer dismissed comments made by departing Traitor Maya Jama, who had said 'Good luck, you're going to need it!' Ranganathan interpreted this as a warning that a Traitor remained and voted to banish Blunt, though fellow Faithful Sebastian Croft talked him out of it and they banished Kenny instead.
When the remaining two players voted for endgame, meaning they would have won the prize pot alongside Blunt, the singer voted for a further banishment instead, resulting in his own exit. Despite the tense circumstances, both men have since moved past the incident. Speaking on Hits Radio, Blunt said Ranganathan is 'a very very sweet human being' and that they 'get on very very well'. Blunt also revealed that Ranganathan donated money to his chosen charity, Blue Marine Foundation.
Ranganathan appeared on The One Show, where host Roman Kemp questioned whether he and Blunt remained on good terms. Ranganathan admitted he felt 'really bad' about the situation. He and Croft ultimately won £83,000 for their chosen charities.
