  "account": "Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft, the winners of BBC reality show Celebrity Traitors, have expressed relief that they no longer need to keep their victory secret. The pair were crowned champions last night, defeating traitors Maya Jama and King Kenny. Ranganathan, 48, and Croft, 24, discussed their feelings about the win on BBC Radio 2 this morning. Croft stated, \"I'm so happy to be here with you. It's so nice to talk about it. I woke up with a light sense that I don't have to keep the secret anymore. It's been killing me.\" Ranganathan agreed, saying the pair had been \"worried\" about their victory being a secret. The two recalled their surprise at making it to the final alongside traitor Kenny and faithfuls Ranganathan, James Blunt, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Croft joked that their dinner in central London, where fans expressed hope they would win, did not indicate any pre-planning on their part. Both winners reflected on their experiences, with Ranganathan acknowledging his level of contribution to the game and Croft praising Ranganathan's gameplay, stating that people are now seeing his intelligence and judgment.",
