Celebrity Traitors fans brand Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Miranda Hart's dancing 'the TV moment of the year' as the pair's hilarious moves save them from being 'killed in plain sight'

Celebrity Traitors fans have branded Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Miranda Hart's dancing the 'TV moment of the year', after the pair enjoyed a hilarious lesson in Little Mix moves during Friday's episode.

Leigh-Anne, 35, offered to teach Miranda, 53, one of the moves from the music video for the band's hit Touch.

The pair's dance lesson also unknowingly saved them from being 'murdered in plain sight', as while they were distracted, in the other room Traitors Maya Jama, King Kenny and James Acaster were plotting their next kill. 

After Joe Lycett's banishment, the Faithfuls and Traitors were unwinding in one of the castle rooms, with Leigh-Anne then offering to teach Miranda one of Little Mix's moves.

The comedian eagerly accepted, and then left co-stars Sebastian Croft and Michael Sheen in hysterics with her version of the dance.

Fans took to X to praise the moment, especially as it was cut between the Traitors plotting how they were going to kill a faithful in plain sight by 'boring them to death'.

They said: 'The Traitors trying to bore people to death with random cuts to Miranda and Leigh-Anne performing Touch has me in actual tears. That was the moment of the series;'

'Leigh-Anne and Miranda unknowingly avoiding murder because they were doing Little Mix choreography is the TV moment of the year;'    

'Miranda and Leigh-Anne being safe from murder because they're doing a Little Mix dance is actually iconic;'

'The juxtaposition of the Traitors stressed trying to get someone to yawn and Miranda and Leigh-Anne performing the choreography to Touch was an incredible piece of television;'

'I fear they will somehow blame Leigh-Anne for the killing in plain sight because of this;'

'Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda how to do the dance routine to Touch by Little Mix feels like that Miranda revival episode we never got;'

'Leigh-Anne and Miranda Hart doing the choreography to Touch by Little Mix, whilst The Traitors are trying to complete a murder in plain sight in another room are the moments reality TV is MADE for;'

'Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda Little Mix choreo; Leigh-Anne teaching Miranda her choreography is so precious;'

Friday's Celebrity Traitors saw Joe Lycett banished from the castle, after his attempts to be recruited turned him into a prime suspect.

When the contestants gathered for breakfast, they knew a recruitment had taken place, with Lycett declaring: 'It wasn't me!'

However, the previous night, the comedian had made no secret of his desire to switch sides.

And at the roundtable, Joe received the majority of votes after an epic slip-up.

He said: 'Let's say they were down to two last night and they recruited, there's so much heat on me for what I was doing last night that there's a good chance that I'll go tonight, which means that they will then have to recruit again tonight, denying them of murder.' 

James Blunt said: 'I thought you said, if they banish me tonight, they will have to recruit another person tomorrow, which would imply...'

Joe's slip-up sent confusion around the table and ultimately sealed his fate however, his loyal new pal Miranda Hart refused to vote for him.

'Forgive me for doing the cardinal rule of letting emotion get to me; I've put Ross,' Hart said, as everyone burst out laughing, while Ross Kemp looked concerned.

She then said directly to Joe: 'I physically couldn't write your name down.'

Standing before the group at the roundtable, Joe, 38, said: 'Absolutely loved it. Like a total dream.'

'I do sort of feel like we are all a family now and, as such, expect to be in all of your wills. Very sad to be going, but what a wonderful group of people.

'I always wanted to start as a Faithful and end as a Traitor. I started as a Faithful, and I did not get my wish. I am a Faithful.'
