Maya Jama has clapped back at a viewer who accused her of 'being a cow' towards fellow Traitor James Acaster after he refused to take part in the challenge on Thursday's night show.
The Love Island host, 32, responded to reaction from the episode after James, 41, told Maya and King Kenny he was 'too scared' to sabotage the Faithfuls winning shields in the Traitors' lair.
One viewer said she felt Maya was giving the comedian too hard a time in the turret when they later met to discuss their latest murder, given that he was the one to secure the murder in plain sight.
One viewer Tweeted on X: 'Maya being a cow towards James. He did the murder in plain sight while she sat there doing pathetic fake yawns. Bash and Michael are two of the strongest clued faithfuls and James is between them.
'She has her fellow traitor next to her (and still messes up).'
Maya then hit back and explained why she didn't deliver the murder in plain sight line first.

'I wasn't a cow at all & I may delete this later but it's been so interesting watching the takes of some accounts on here when if it was the other way round I would be called all sorts as I already am in this thread.
'Also we both yawned & only one of us could say the line, he just said it first #noticing.'
Maya later decided to delete the Tweet.
As Thursday's episode of Celebrity Traitors kicked off, it was Ross who fell victim to the Traitors' latest murder, and their first in plain sight.
The EastEnders actor's growing paranoia was a major talking point at the start of the series – showcasing a very different side to his usual tough-guy persona.
He previously accused Bella Ramsey and Leigh-Anne Pinnock of murdering him in plain sight – and now, ironically, that was his demise.
Inhaling the ‘deadly sleeping powder’ by yawning, James then locked in the murder as he said: ‘Sorry Ross, am I boring you?’
Fans have now predicted Maya and King Kenny will throw James under the bus after he failed to help them during the mission.
As the contestants all gathered in the Traitors' lair, they failed to win any money for the prize fund, which is currently at £46,000.
It was the Traitors who were responsible for winning the gold, as well as sabotaging the Faithfuls winning shields, as they were tasked with moving around the room to move pieces of the shield puzzles while the rest of the contestants remained in the same room blindfolded.
However, as Maya and King Kenny removed their blindfolds to complete the task, James remained hidden behind his blindfold as he told the camera he was 'too scared' to help.
Maya and King Kenny both looked visibly frustrated to see James not pulling his weight, but they obviously couldn't confront him in the room full of Faithfuls.
Later in the turret, Maya and King Kenny, whose real name is Kenny Oghenovo Ojuederie, gave him a sharp telling off.
The Love Island host said: 'You did leave us out to dry,' to which James replied: 'Listen, I didn't want to be a Traitor, but I'm going to admit something to you now.
'When I killed Ross Kemp in plain sight, I loved it. And I have enjoyed today more.'

James's revelation lifted the mood, with Maya saying: 'Yay! James, I'm so proud of you.'
However fans are now convinced Maya and King Kenny could plan to throw James under the bus later down the line after he failed to prove his loyalty.
Taking to Twitter they penned: 'James A - man up!'; 'Kenny and Maya need to throw James under the bus';
'James will be the next traitor to go'; 'Maya digging at James when it was him who murdered in plain sight and his reasoning for not doing the task sabotage was completely sound!';
'maya is 100% gonna turn on james and i'm not ready for that to happen';
'I feel like Maya and Kenny may well end up throwing James under the bus for this, but he's so right. Kenny being between Jerry (who won't notice a thing) and Maya means he's the only one in a good position to pull this off!'
Another joked: 'They should beat James up in the turret tonight.'
Others sided with James as they wrote: 'Honestly think James not moving because of who is either side of him is a smart move'.
