King Kenny emerges as biggest winner from Celebrity Traitors series
Several contestants emerged with major career boosts despite Croft and Ranganathan winning the final.
The Celebrity Traitors final crowned Croft and Ranganathan as victors, but industry experts say the real winners are those who raised their profile the most. King Kenny, 29, came into the show as a little-known YouTube personality and emerged as a breakout mainstream star after his traitor strategy.
Miranda Hart returned to public view after a spell of ill-health, winning praise for her vulnerability and a viral dance moment. Maya Jama, already a TV presenter, showed a versatile side beyond Love Island.
Reports suggest she could command £1 million per deal. Joanne McNally's stand-up tour has extended into 2027 due to strong demand following her semi-final run.
Other standout moments came from Romesh Ranganathan displaying genuine care for his fellow contestants and James Acaster's emotional confession as a traitor splitting some social media opinion.
