Everything We Know About That Celebrity Traitors Roundtable Tiebreak

Claudia Winkleman said what happens with the two players will be left to "fate".This article contains major spoilers for the latest instalment of The Celebrity Traitors.If, like the rest of the nation, you were crying louder than the Scottish castle’s peacocks at the Celebrity Traitors cliffhanger last night, you’ll know the drill.In a Traitors first, the contestants found themselves in a tiebreak situation after a voting stalemate meant neither Mark Bonnar nor David Olusoga could be banished outright at the roundtable. Line Of Duty actor Mark and historian David split the vote, resulting in a second round of voting that – again – saw them collect equal amounts of names on those infamous chalkboards.So, what next? Here’s everything we know about what tonight could have in store...David Olusoga and Mark Bonnar It’s down to chanceRather than the celebs getting any special treatment or an altered format of the show, the tiebreak rules are something that Claudia Winkleman has mentioned on previous series of The Traitors. That means that producers have always had something up their sleeve for an unresolvable tiebreak situation like the one seen in Wednesday’s episode, and now is their chance to use it. Claudia made it clear that what happened next would be left “up to chance” suggesting that Mark and David will go head-to-head in some kind of gothic, Traitors twist on a coin toss or rock, paper, scissors. As for what that will look like? We’re just as in the dark as you…It’s unprecedented Adding to the excitement around the unresolved banishment is the fact that we’re in totally new territory. While there have been tiebreaks at the roundtable before, a second round of voting has always resolved the issue in English language versions of The Traitors.The closest the show has come to the situation unfolding on Celebrity Traitors happened on the Portuguese iteration, where previous votes were tallied up to decide who was kicked off. The thing is, that happened in the show finale which tends to have different rules due to the stakes being so high, and is notably not the game of chance Claudia has teased.Theories are already aboundObviously we raced to social media as soon as the credits started to roll to see what theories people were cooking up for the tiebreak, as well as their “flabbergasted” reactions, to borrow a term from fellow contestant Kate Garraway. Here’s what some people suggested could happen on tonight’s show...I doubt it would happen (because it would have been the cliffhanger), but imagine if the chance decision also included banishing *both of them*. #CelebrityTraitors— Mark Siddall (@marksiddall84) October 22, 2025Mark and David, ready for a game of chance, which I believe will involve taking turns to pull Celia's finger and the first one to do so when she farts, has to go......#TheTraitors#CelebrityTraitorspic.twitter.com/AunnDV0KL8— All about Steve (@1StevieKilner) October 22, 2025HuffPost UK has reached out to the BBC for comment. The Celebrity Traitors continues on Thursday night at 9pm on BBC One.Related...The Latest Celebrity Traitors Round Table Had Everyone Shouting The Same Thing At The TVCelebrity Traitors Star Opens Up About Unseen Alan Carr Moments Viewers Are Missing Out OnTom Daley Reveals How He Really Feels About That Gratuitous Celebrity Traitors Shower Scene
