There was more drama in Celebrity Traitors tonight, and a shock ending saw a dilemma that has never happened before, as the roundtable ended in a tie.

If Charlotte Church‘s shock murder wasn’t enough for the celebrities to take in, they had another thing coming at the end of the episode – as they faced their biggest dilemma yet at the roundtable.

Once again, the celebrities got their Traitor predictions completely wrong, and at the end of the episode, it was Actor Mark Bonnar and Historian David Olusoga picked up the most votes. The episode ended after a second round of voting failed to separate them.

This left host Claudia Winkleman with no other option but to say: “Players, it is still a draw. Therefore we will now leave this banishment to the hands of fate.” The banishment will be left to chance, but how?

The celebrities were left flabbergasted, as comedian Lucy Beaumont asked: “Has this ever happened before?”

A shock Nick Mohammad replied: “It’s never happened.”

Although Claudia says it’s down to chance, fans are think that the lucky competitor is ‘certain’ to be banished next when the contestants learn the one who leaves in a Faithful.

Of course, unbeknownst to them, both are Faithful.

“Well whoever survives tonight is absolute f****d tomorrow,” said one fan, while another penned: “Whoever stays tonight will not be murdered in the turret. And will probably be banished tomorrow.”

“Whoever stays tomorrow will be banished next week,” agreed a third.

Others were left in shock by the twist, as they tried to work out how the decision would be made.

What the h**l does leaving it up to fate mean?! Do they have to flip a coin???” while another said: “What do you MEAN they’re leaving the banishment in the hands of FATE?! AND a cliffhanger?!”

“How the f**k does a chance of fate happen do they like flip a coin or something ????” another questioned.

“Banishment by chance has NEVER happened before oh my god this is intense!!!” exclaimed another.

Fans will have to wait until tomorrow night to see which Faithful will be banished – and whether the other will follow suit shortly after…

Earlier on in the episode, the contestants were left gutted when Charlotte Church was murdered.

Speaking after she left the show, Charlotte said: “It was way more intense than I expected. It has restored my faith in celebrities a little because, generally, I just really keep out of that whole celebrity scene, and I have perhaps been a little bit too harsh in my judgement of celebrities.

“It was wonderful to spend time with some really very interesting people. I think that’s been my favourite part of the experience. Genuinely, to just be in the company of some extraordinary people with extraordinary stories and minds was the best bit.”
