The secrets are out. Romesh Ranganathan has gathered Leigh-Anne Pinnock, King Kenny and Bash for a Celebrity Traitors reunion, and he has a particular observation of Leigh-Anne's to revisit: his ability to talk at the round table without giving much away.

He reads it back to laughter in the studio. After a game built on scrutinising every gesture, the reunion offers room to unpick the accusations, including the rather less substantial evidence of Leigh-Anne applying lip gloss or touching Ross Kemp's arm.

The half-hour conversation has drawn nearly 79,000 views in fourteen hours, already several times BBC Radio 2's usual full-day audience for a regular video. The comment section is also much busier than usual, with viewers discussing Kenny's introduction to a wider audience and Leigh-Anne's lip-gloss-and-gloves moments.

There are concrete answers among the jokes. Kenny confirms that he warned Maya Jama before voting for her. Leigh-Anne explains that staying quiet early on, then planting subtle seeds of suspicion, was part of her approach to surviving the game.

Romesh and Bash revisit the trust that carried them through the round tables and towards the finale. Bash offers a useful counterpoint to all that instinct-reading: "On the one hand, you can't just trust your gut, because famously people's guts are wrong."

Romesh also reminds listeners that contestants do not see what happens in the turret. Their certainty has to survive without the information viewers have at home. By the end, Sally Traffic produces a sealed pre-show prediction, giving the studio another person's judgement to examine.

Leigh Anne totally made the show funny with her reactions to her lip gloss and gloves 😂 and I’ve never listened to her music but she just seems sooo sweeet
