🎬 Nine million Brits watched celebrities betray each other

*Celebrity Traitors* — BBC's reality show where a hidden faction schemes against teammates trying to unmask them — just set a franchise record: 8.8 million viewers at premiere, peaking at 9 million. Every second person watching TV in Britain that evening was watching this.

That's ~3 million more than either previous U.K. launch. Richard E. Grant, Bella Ramsey, Michael Sheen and James Blunt are among this season's castle dwellers — and Grant has apparently turned episode one into his personal chaos workshop, per Variety.
