Clare Balding makes major blunder in Celebrity Traitors opening challenge
Clare Balding accidentally locks in number during Traitors challenge
Clare Balding made a significant error during the first mission of the BBC series Celebrity Traitors, which aired on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.
The contestants were tasked with moving a Trojan horse through gates, which required answering questions correctly to add £15,000 to the prize fund.
During a discussion about an answer, the 54-year-old broadcaster inadvertently locked in a number before her fellow contestants could offer their suggestions.
Balding appeared visibly horrified by her mistake.
