Prince William Teases Ross Kemp Over Celebrity Traitors Paranoia
The Prince of Wales used a community visit to Ilminster to interrogate actor Ross Kemp regarding the closely guarded secrets of BBC’s Celebrity Traitors UK, according to The Independent. Kemp admitted on the reality show that he felt “so paranoid” about being murdered in plain sight by a touch from a traitor. Speaking to young people at the Sweet Surprise cafe, William joked that he intended to get the answer. “Do you watch The Traitors? I’m going to get the answer to what happens and I am going to tell you all later,” William told the group.
