  "account": "The Celebrity Traitors third episode saw a heated round table vote banishing Richard E Grant, who had identified himself as a traitor. Grant expressed delight at finally fulfilling his dream of being a traitor. Fellow players were shocked yet pleased with the outcome. Julie Hesmondhalgh accused Myha la of noticing Grant's wink before voting for him, but the accusation was unproven. The remaining traitors Maya Jama and James Acaster had two choices - murder Jerry Hall or Hannah Fry, or seduce a third traitor. They chose to seduce Fry, who was shocked to learn she was being recruited. The trio discussed their strategy for breakfast, with Acaster noting the rapidly changing dynamics. Back at breakfast, the players realized one of them had been a traitor, leading to speculation and further intrigue.",
