Friday night saw the 2023 running of Comic Relief, and among the many surprises on the night, none were more jump-out-of-your-seat-and-point-at-the-TV than the appearance of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi taking part in Traitors.
The “contestants” included Alison Hammond, who was just confirmed as Matt Lucas’s replacement on The Great British Bake Off, Mary Berry from the same show, Stephen Merchant, Danny Dyer, Jennifer Saunders and two actual Traitors contestants from Season 1.
Merchant accuses McGregor of appearing via green-screen as he speaks of the dangers of the dark side, with McGregor asking Merchant to “pipe down” as “it’s been a while, I’m just trying to stay in character” before revealing that the traitor is Darth Vader, with Merchant sarcastically remarking how good the writing on the sketch is.
Later, McGregor advises Berry to “use the forks” to cut a slice of cake, before confessing that he “has a bad feeling about this” when the time comes for the group to identify the Traitors in the room.
Be sure to remind Ewan about this if you’re fortunate enough to see him at Celebration Europe, which will be up and running in less than 3 weeks time.
