Maya Jama Reveals Backstage Secrets After Sneakily Drinking Co-Stars' Alcohol On Celebrity Traitors

Maya Jama revealed that she and castmate Joanne McNally regularly swiped and drank their co-stars' unused nightly drink rations while filming The Celebrity Traitors.

The hit reality show pushed contestants into high-pressure psychological warfare inside Ardross Castle.

Yet behind the heavy castle doors, two players found a much cheekier way to pass the time.

Strict production rules meant every celebrity was strictly limited to just one alcoholic beverage each evening.

Filming on the BBC programme often dragged late into the early hours of the morning.

With paranoia sweeping through the Scottish Highlands, several stars chose sobriety to stay sharp.

Maya and Joanne quickly realized that those untouched drinks did not need to go to waste.

Maya shared the hilarious confession directly with her social media followers after the series concluded.

"Fun fact about halfway through everyone stopped having their 1 drink a night so they could focus, so we sneakily drank theirs cling cling @joannemcnally x"

That admission sparked an immediate reaction from her partner in crime.

Joanne jokingly scolded Maya in public for exposing their late-night antics.

The Irish comedian told Maya that the castle alcohol heist was supposed to remain private information.

BATHROOM SECRETS AND CUTTING ROOM SCENES

The two women formed an inseparable friendship despite sitting on opposite sides of the game.

Maya operated in the shadows as one of the show's cunning Traitors.

Joanne spent her days trying to hunt Traitors down as a dedicated Faithful.

Their off-screen friendship blossomed far away from the intense strategy sessions.

Maya revealed that much of their real relationship never made it onto television screens.

"Most of our time together wasn't included because we spoke about everything other than the game & hid in the toilets telling secrets"

Maya poured out her affection for the stand-up star after making the revelation.

She declared her love for Joanne, affectionately calling her a complete ball of fun.

Both stars fell just short of lifting the ultimate prize at the end of the competition.

Joanne suffered banishment at the hands of her fellow Faithfuls right before the final showdown.

Maya fought all the way to the dramatic series finale before being banished herself.

CANCELLED TELL-ALL AND STRICT BBC CONTRACTS

Fans were eager to hear Joanne spill even more castle secrets on her popular podcast platform.

She originally planned a full tell-all episode for My Therapist Ghosted Me alongside co-host Vogue Williams.

The promised episode was expected to deliver juicy, unfiltered stories from inside the castle walls.

That special podcast release has now been completely scrapped.

Podcast producer Joe Attewell confirmed the episode cannot air because it represents a direct contract violation.

Every celebrity entering the castle was bound by strict confidentiality agreements with the BBC.

Contestants traveled north to the Inverness castle knowing secrecy was an absolute priority.

Former castle resident Ross Kemp described the non-disclosure agreement as longer than the Bayeux Tapestry.

Joe Attewell noted that listeners had flooded the podcast team with demands for the missing episode.

The broadcaster's legal restrictions firmly slammed the door on any further unauthorized confessions.

ROUNDTABLE WARS AND ACCUSATIONS OF SABOTAGE

The booze-thieving revelations come amidst a wave of dramatic fallout between several cast members.

Gameplay inside the castle pushed celebrity friendships to their breaking points.

Traitor King Kenny made headlines after launching a fierce swipe at fellow Traitor James Acaster.

Kenny claimed the comedian's shocking roundtable confession completely destroyed his path to victory.

The 29-year-old YouTuber and boxer reached the closing stages before Sebastian Croft turned against him.

Kenny spoke openly about his bitter disappointment during an appearance on The Fellas podcast.

He stated clearly that Acaster's sudden collapse under pressure ruined what should have been a winning campaign.

Acaster stunned his castmates by effectively outing himself as a Traitor during the penultimate roundtable.

The comedian admitted openly that he never wanted to take on the villainous mantle.

Acaster had entered Ardross Castle as a Faithful before Maya and Richard E Grant recruited him.

Kenny recalled frantically whispering to Maya when Acaster began crumbling during the interrogation.

He warned Maya that the time had come to fight for their lives to save their game.

Kenny also argued that show producers should guarantee every contestant wants to actively play their assigned role.

HEAVY PRESSURE AND EDITED INTERROGATIONS

Other castle survivors offer a very different version of how the drama actually went down.

Faithful contestant James Blunt rejected claims that Acaster willingly fell on his sword.

The singer told BBC News that the roundtable interrogation was far more brutal than viewers realized.

Blunt explained that Acaster was firmly pinned to the post after Michael Sheen laid out decisive evidence.

Sheen had methodically reconstructed the castle movements surrounding the murder of Ross Kemp in plain sight.

Acaster simply could not mount a viable defense against the overwhelming scrutiny from the room.
