Meanwhile, Alan Carr is leading a list no-one wants to top. The bookies' favourite to be the first Traitor banished, also sitting at 1/2.

Clare Balding, who raised eyebrows with her performance in the first mission, has been tipped as the most likely Faithful to be wrongly banished, coming in at 6/4.

But there's one celebrity who's apparently thriving amid the chaos, Cat Burns. The chart-topper has been named favourite to win the series, with short odds of 2/5. She's followed by Niko Omalia and Nick Mohammed, who both sit at 5/1.

The Celebrity Traitors new odds revealed

A MyBettingSites.co.uk spokesperson told Entertainment Online: "The first episode of The Celebrity Traitors ended on a tense cliffhanger, leaving viewers wondering who will become the first victim of the Traitors.

"Alan Carr was chosen to carry out the task, and the group agreed their target should be a woman. This makes fellow comedian Lucy Beaumont the frontrunner to be the first victim, with odds of 1/2, followed by Paloma Faith at 2/1.

"Given Carr's friendly relationships with both Beaumont and Faith, his need to touch their face as part of his Traitor mission would appear far less suspicious than if he approached someone he didn't know as well.

"In contrast, both Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross seem to be showing early signs of slipping up; Carr currently leads the odds to be the first Traitor banished, standing at 1/2.

"Finally, after a blunder during the first mission that raised eyebrows among the Faithful, Clare Balding now has the shortest odds of being the first wrongly banished Faithful, at 6/4."
