I’m A Celeb’s Melvin Odoom reveals The Traitors champ and reason why ‘Charlotte can’t win’

star Melvin Odoom has slammed finalist Charlotte Berman as she continues to allude her fellow castmates on the show.

The Radio 1 presenter – who has partnered up with – has been following the beloved reality show since its conception in 2022.

And it’s fair to say this series has grabbed viewers more than ever, with major twists and turns taking place in the heart of Ardross Castle.

Some of the series highlights have included the hilarious antics from fan-favourite Linda Rands and the brilliantly bizarre tactics from Charlotte – who has convinced everyone she’s Welsh.

At the start of the series, the brunette beauty, 33, began as a Faithful, but was later recruited as a Traitor by Minah Shannon and has successfully gone under the radar amongst her peers.

But days later, the call centre manager was banished from the castle after Charlotte threw her under the bus in a gruelling round-table debrief just two days before the final.

The 29-year-old had survived 10 days in the castle after she was picked to be a Traitor by Claudia in the very first episode.

Currently, the business director is the last remaining Traitor on the show, who has managed to go under the radar and is within arm’s reach of stealing the eye-watering jackpot.

Now, the Radio 1 presenter has revealed why the TV star “doesn’t deserve” to win the competition despite reaching the final. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he told us: “I don’t think Charlotte should win.

“For me, Minah did all the hard work, she was an incredible Traitor and I don’t think it’s fair for Charlotte to swoop in at the last minute and win this competition.

“As far as I’m concerned, I mean she’s doing some amazing stuff now at the end, but all the stuff that Charlotte does, it involves her throwing someone else under the bus.”

Fans are already itching to watch the final episode after Claudia Winkleman revealed a new advantage called the Seer. On Thursday (January 23), fans saw Francesca earning the special advantage of being able to select one player and forcing them to reveal if they are a Faithful or a Traitor.

To fans amazement, she selected traitor Charlotte, leaving fans wondering how this key information will change the course of tonight’s final. And they’re not the only ones excited for the big reveal, as Melvin chuckled: “I can’t wait for her to be exposed tonight. I don’t care who wins, but it can’t be Charlotte.”

The presenter went on to add that although Charlotte has played the best game, she will never be his true champion. He continued: “Really, truly, she should win because it’s not about honour, it’s about being underhand.

“But something doesn’t feel right for me. If Minah was in the final, I’d be rooting for her all the way, There’s no honour amongst thieves when it comes to Charlotte, and that’s the difference between her and Minah. Minah was my winner. Charlotte’s too underhand.”

The TV presenter has teamed up with Magic Breakfast – a charity that provides a safe space for children and young people and aims to ensure no child goes to school too hungry to learn – ahead of Children’s Mental Health Week.

Speaking about his work with the charity, Melvin revealed: “I actually went to a school in my local area and I used to work with young people in a youth club in East London.

“So, when I was contacted by Magic Breakfast, I thought it was a great thing to be involved with because I’ve actually taught myself and I know how important it is for a young person’s concentrtion when they’re fed.

“One in five kids suffer from food insecurities of some kind and 85% of teachers have said that charities like Magic Breakfast has really helped to impact their children in a positive way.

“I just feel like our young people are quite often forgotten, which is why it’s so important that we have stuff like children’s mental health week.”

The Traitors finale airs on Friday from 8.30pm on One or catch up on iPlayer.
