The Celebrity Traitors has bonded the nation in a time of doom, gloom and hate

Finalists Alan Carr, Cat Burns, David Olusoga, Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler - (BBC/Studio Lambert/Paul Chappells)

Who needs Trump vs Mamdani when we’ve got Big Dogs vs Hundies? Sure, mistakenly freed prisoners are a scandal but so are celebrity murders in plain sight. And forget the ass hat formerly known as Prince Andrew. We’re more interested in who’ll be crowned king or queen of the castle.

I’m referring, of course, to The Celebrity Traitors - the blockbuster BBC hit which reaches its killer climax tonight. It might just be a TV show but boy, how we’ve needed it. This glorified game of wink murder has brought the nation together at a time of doom, gloom and hate. After four weeks of welcome respite from the real world, parting from it will indeed be sweet sorrow.
