Celia Imrie has Traitors fans howling as she BREAKS WIND mid-challenge

Celia Imrie was branded a 'national treasure' after leaving her fellow Traitors in stitches when she passed wind during the BBC show on Wednesday night.

The actress, 73, accidentally let one rip during the latest tense challenge, where half of the stars were locked inside Claudia Winkleman's spooky wooden cabin. 

As host Claudia arrived to explain what the stars must do Celia looked extremely nervous and accidentally farted leaving her co-stars in hysterics. 

The Thursday Murder Club star confessed: 'I just farted Claudia, I'm so sorry, it's nerves, I always own up!'

The celebrities broke down into laughter killing the incredibly wrought atmosphere Claudia had created in her cabin.

Following the moment, fans rushed to X to say it was the 'highlight of the TV year' and called Celia an 'absolute legend' for the way she handled the moment.

They wrote: 'Celia Imrie farting in a room full of celebrities is TV gold; Celia Imrie owning her fart like it’s a BAFTA moment. Queen behaviour;

'Celia Imrie farting on Celebrity Traitors has to be one of the highlights of the TV year; Sorry but howling at Celia letting out a nervous fart;

'Quite possibly the darkest mission on the traitors so far, gets its atmosphere shattered by the Queen that is Celia Imrie; Celia Imrie is an absolute legend;

'Celia Imrie FARTING and ADMITTING it in swift succession will go down in television history!!;

'Never have I laughed so much at @the_traitors_ as I did just now with Celia farting - that was absolutely hilarious;

'Greatest traitors moment of all time brought to us by Celia Imrie; Celia Imrie providing the first Traitors fart was not on my bingo card;

'Celia Imrie farting. Historic television. Up there with the moon landings and “Who shot JR?”'

During the challenge, the celebrities had to find keys to unlock their co-stars inside the cabin and Alan Carr joked about Celia breaking wind.

He said: 'Hurry up, she's going to blow, she's going to fart again'.

Elsewhere during the show, Niko was the second star to be axed from the show with over half of the celebrities voting him off during the round table. 

Meanwhile Kate Garraway, who had the second most votes, said afterwards: 'I was so mortified everyone turned against me. 

'I've watched a lot of Niko, my kids like him, I'm sad he's gone.'

Celia added: 'Whoever these Traitors are, they are f***ing brilliant'. 

As the celebs went to bed, the Traitors, Alan Carr, Johnathan Ross and Cat Burns, met up and decided who they will kill off next. 

The trio wanted to 'make an impact' and decided to murder, Tom Daley. 

Jonathan joked: 'Maybe we could steal the blame to someone else, gold medals don't count as shields do they'. 

After being killed off, Tom said: 'Well that didn't take long did it, I think I was murdered because I was seen as a threat, so I better go do one final dive into my grave'.

The rest of the celebrities were left completely baffled questioning, 'why Tom' after he didn't appear at breakfast. 

Concluding the episode, there was another round table where Tameka was voted off and revealed she is a Faithful. 

Jonathan added: 'I am the luckiest Traitor in the land, I only just got away with that'. 

Mark, who lead the charge for claiming Tameka was a Traitor, looked devastated and apologised for voting her out.
