Andrew Balding admitted that he has not had the opportunity to watch any episodes of the show “Celebrity Traitors,” featuring his sister Clare as one of the participants. The renowned racehorse trainer is currently competing against Aidan O’Brien for the 2025 Flat trainers’ championship title, trailing £600,000 behind the Irishman as the competition nears its conclusion at Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday.
Despite Clare’s involvement in the show, Andrew confessed that he has been too occupied with his racing responsibilities to catch up on her performance on the primetime BBC program. He mentioned that he plans to view the episodes on iPlayer, possibly during the upcoming half-term break when his children are home.
Following her elimination from the show, Clare was banished from the castle after receiving seven votes from fellow contestants for being a faithful. Expressing her gratitude and positive experiences from the show, Clare emphasized her strategy of being kind to everyone.
Ruth Codd, an Irish actress who formed a bond with Clare before her departure, reflected on her time in the castle and praised Clare and other contestants like Charlotte Church and Celia Imrie for their impact on her experience. Codd expressed admiration for their personalities and emphasized the unique connections formed during their time together.
Codd shared her initial reservations about being a faithful on the show but ultimately embraced her loyalty and genuine nature, stating that she was content with her decisions and interactions within the group. The show has seen notable eliminations, including Olympic diver Tom Daley and singer Paloma Faith, as well as the departure of Niko Omilana and Tameka Empson in separate Round Table discussions.
