The former singer and actress, 39, paid the price for being too inquisitive and was murdered by Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns in last night's episode of the BBC show.

Speaking after she left the show, Charlotte praised the other contestants with whom she spent time in the castle in the Scottish Highlands.

She said: "It was way more intense than I expected. It has restored my faith in celebrities a little because, generally, I just really keep out of that whole celebrity scene, and I have perhaps been a little bit too harsh in my judgment of celebrities.

"It was wonderful to spend time with some really very interesting people. I think that's been my favourite part of the experience. Genuinely, to just be in the company of some extraordinary people with extraordinary stories and minds was the best bit."

After learning she had been "murdered" in the competition, the Welsh star seemed less annoyed than some other contestants.

She told the cameras: "I've spoken at the round table, and I've been outspoken with my opinions.
