Spoilers: two Faithfuls won the final
Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft won the 2026 Celebrity Traitors final on BBC One on October 30. Both were Faithfuls. ITV News and RTÉ reported the result. The pair finished together at the firepit after further banishments reduced the remaining group. The £83,000 charity pot gives each winner £41,500: Croft chose Choose Love and Ranganathan chose the Refugee Council, according to ITV’s account.
The last votes, in order
Maya Jama was banished at the final roundtable. At the firepit, Leigh-Anne Pinnock went first. A split vote between James Blunt and King Kenny required Ranganathan and Croft to vote again; they chose Kenny. Blunt was then banished, leaving the eventual winning pair. ITV identifies Jama and Kenny as Traitors and Blunt as a Faithful. That distinction matters when interpreting the ending: the final elimination removed a player from the same side as the winners.
Why a Faithful victory can still exclude another Faithful
The ending illustrates two different questions: who belongs to which team, and who remains when the game ends. A player can correctly belong to the Faithful team yet lose through a banishment. Conversely, surviving a vote does not by itself establish that someone is a Faithful. Reading the sequence with those questions separate makes the apparently contradictory final choices easier to follow. The result was a Faithful victory, but it was not a victory shared by every Faithful who reached the closing stages.
The prize figure is a total, not a payment to each winner
The reported £83,000 is the combined pot. Dividing it equally produces £41,500 per winner; adding two payments of £83,000 would double-count the prize. These figures describe the announced charity allocation. They do not establish when the charities receive the money.
