There is a huge difference between saying someone is leaving a long-running soap and mentioning someone who has left an eviction-based elimination game. It’s easy to discuss soaps without spoiling them for people who don’t read gossip, but impossible to discuss game shows unless names are mentioned.
I was quite surprised that Tom went, although I don’t really care. I’m not sure that Stephen Fry is as clever as he thinks he is, and he’s insufferably smug. David Olusoga is a lot cleverer I think. And Claire is a smart cookie too.
I’m surprised Alan hasn’t had more votes. Maybe it’s because we know he’s a traitor, but it is written all over his face a lot of the time.
