She broke wind and broke the internet. Last week on The Celebrity Traitors, the gothic drama of the creepy cabin mission was interrupted by an audible parp. “What just happened?” asked host Claudia Winkleman, struggling to keep her composure. “I just farted,” said actor Celia Imrie sweetly. “I’m so sorry. It’s nerves – but I always own up.”
