After Thursday saw King Kenny recruited by the traitors – that episode ending with his deliciously evil laugh – the YouTuber and former aspiring boxer brought fresh and fiendish energy to the turret.
“This threesome’s going to be different,” mama traitor Maya Jama predicted. “There’s a new vibrance.”
James Acaster, her reluctant fellow traitor, was also happy with their choice of ally.
“As predicted, Kenny’s taken to this like a duck to water,” the comedian said, visibly relieved. “He’s the opposite of me. So relaxed. He’s a natural born traitor.”
Kenny is relishing the role, barely able to disguise his pleasure as Miranda Hart confided to him over breakfast that “you’re my main faithful”.
The self-declared modern-day Miss Marple warned Kenny to be on the lookout for anyone acting differently, reasoning that “if you’re suddenly a traitor, you’re going to be a bit on high alert”.
“I agree,” was his straight-faced reply.
In the show’s diary room, he said: “The first taste of being on the other side – it does feel good, because you have the power.
“I’m good at staying calm because as a boxer you have to have a poker face. You can’t let the other people know that you’re intimidated.”
However, he later admitted: “On the outside I look calm, cool, collected, but on the inside I’m incredibly nervous.”
