Spoiler warning: This story reveals details of The Celebrity Traitors final
The winners of Celebrity Traitors have said they are relieved that they no longer need to keep the biggest secret in British TV, as they reunited to celebrate their victory.
Actor Sebastian Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan were the last ones standing, with the two faithfuls splitting the £83,000 prize pot between their chosen charities.
"I am feeling good, it's so nice to finally be able to talk about it properly," Croft, known to pals as Bash, told BBC Newsbeat.
The second series of the hit BBC One show finished on Friday, after the original 21 celebs were whittled down to seven finalists.
Reuniting with Ranganathan on the comedian's BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday morning, Croft said they had been worried about being seen together in public before the final.
"We were having dinner and we're not exactly a likely duo and the whole restaurant was like, 'we like you on Traitors and hope you win'," he said.
