As hooked as we all are on series two of The Celebrity Traitors – thanks in no small part to the starry line up – there has been a surprising amount of BTS drama.
We all know by now that James Acaster, for example, signed up with absolutely no desire to be a Traitor, only to be recruited at the end of the first episode. Before the series unfolded, a 'source' said he became so anxious during one episode that they had to pause filming, so really we could have guessed his role.
The 'source' is not the only one to rock the boat. Plenty of other contestants have been loose lipped on their respective podcasts and social media accounts and arguably given away how well they've done in the game (we will keep those spoilers under our hat).
However, the latest rumour to do the rounds online is that James got into a feud with fellow comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan on set. So, what actually happened?
A source claims James was made to feel 'uncomfortable' by his two co-stars. Apparently, the well-known comedy duo 'teased and mocked' James and were 'going too far' with some of their jokes. 'Rob and Romesh clearly thought they were having a bit of a laugh, but James began to feel quite a lot of it was at his expense, and away from the cameras he started to get annoyed and upset by it,' they explained, adding that the jokes were 'not at all malicious' and 'more of a misunderstanding'.
However, a spokesperson from the BBC has jumped in to say the source's claims are 'categorically untrue' and that there were 'no incidents of this nature' during production. 'Claims of teasing amongst the cast on the show and claims of complaints about teasing are categorically untrue. There were no incidents of this nature and there is no evidence to support these allegations.'
Representatives for Rob and Romesh also told The Independent that 'these claims are completely untruth and couldn't be further from the truth'.
