Vernon Kay Vows Radio Silence on Celebrity Traitors After On-Air Spoiler Backlash

The Radio 2 host cites catch-up viewing habits as a reason to keep talk of current TV off his show.

Overview

  • Vernon Kay said he received "a tonne of grief" from listeners after revealing the outcome of an ITV competition programme live on air.
  • He announced he will avoid discussing the BBC One series Celebrity Traitors on his Radio 2 programme to prevent spoilers for listeners.
  • He acknowledged that many viewers watch later on BBC iPlayer and admitted he often forgets about catch-up viewing.
  • He added that he will still watch the series himself but will not talk about it on air because audiences get "really tetchy."
  • Celebrity Traitors continues on BBC One tonight with another episode tomorrow, with two further instalments scheduled next week.
