Celebrity Traitors star Mark Bonnar has revealed who he reckons will triumph as he declared two contestants’ “days are numbered”.
The Line of Duty actor was booted out on Thursday’s (October 23) episode of the BBC smash hit after his destiny was sealed through the Chest Of Chance following a voting stalemate between himself and David Olusoga.
He fell under scrutiny after his fellow contestants branded him of being excessively theatrical.
At the time, Rugby player Joe Marler said his performing abilities would enable him to ‘slip into the role of a traitor’ with ease.
Traitor Alan Carr also set his sights on the 56 year old actor after spotting a chance to eliminate another faithful, reports Wales Online.
After his departure from the Celebrity spin-off, the actor featured on Saturday’s (October 25) episode of BBC breakfast with presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
It wasn’t long before the hosts grilled the star on some programme spoilers as Naga questioned: “Who do you think is going to win?”
Mark declared: “I don’t know but I think at this stage I would say probably.. I’ll choose one from each camp and it’s either Nick or Cat.”
Naga pressed on: “So Cat is a Traitor and Nick is Faithful.” Mark responded: “Yes. I think they’re both playing a really brilliant game.”
Charlie interjected: “It’s kind of a tricky one now, you know what you’re allowed to say and what you’re not allowed to say.”
Naga was eager for the star to reveal some programme secrets as she questioned: “So do you know because you said you generally don’t know.”
Mark kept his cards close to his chest, stating: “I generally don’t know.” Naga pressed on: “So you only know up to your involvement.”
The TV host continued: “As you were watching you said Cat and not Jonathan or Alan.”
Mark speculated: “I think Jonathan’s days are numbered because Joe has been kind of gunning for him. Even though he goes for him and says ‘Jonathan, Jonathan’ but ends up voting for something else.”
He added: “I still think his days are numbered and he knows it as well. Alan has really grown into it, he started off really sweaty but now he is just accusing people left right and centre.
“But I think his days might be numbered too because if they don’t get him next week, they’ll come back to that forgetting he had a shield and that is a big thing. He has forgotten because he doesn’t care.”

The red-haired boxing hero – who was bullied for his ginger hair earning him the nickname Canelo, which translates to cinnamon in Spanish – turned pro aged just 15.
And now two decades later the 35-year-old is the sport’s top attraction.
He is on course to become a BILLIONAIRE and has world titles in four division’s clogging up his trophy cabinet.
So Khan – who was beaten in his retirement fight against Kell Brook in 2022 – reckons Canelo has lost the same fire which burnt him in their 2016 clash.
Khan, 38, told SunSport: “I think that Crawford takes the fight in my opinion.
“I like Canelo and he’s very respectful but the reason why I think this is because Crawford’s a fresher fighter.
“I’ve just started seeing little things in Canelo in the last couple of fights where he moves more.
“I just don’t think he’s got the fire in the belly like he used to or have that killer instinct like before.
Canelo vs Crawford – All the info
IT’S finally time – one of the biggest boxing matches EVER takes place THIS WEEKEND.
Two of boxing’s GOATs will meet in the ring as they fight for pound-for-pound supremacy and the super-middleweight crown.
CANELO VS CRAWFORD: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY
“I don’t think he has that killer instinct now. Normally they have that killer instinct where they wanna go for the kill and hurt the guy, but I think he’s calm and he’s a made man.
“I know how that is. Like when I fought against Brook, you don’t have that fire in your belly like you are coming up and you wanna achieve something.
Canelo Alvarez hit me so hard I was KO’d before I even hit the canvas, warns Amir Khan ahead of Terence Crawford fight
“You know when you’ve achieved everything – which Canelo in my opinion has when it comes down to belts, titles, and also weight categories and also financially – that fire in the belly just goes and I know you might say that it might not go, it’s automatically it’s gonna happen.
“Your mind’s a very strong muscle that it just takes over your whole body.”
Khan boxed to an early lead against Canelo almost ten years ago – before a frightening right hand in the sixth robbed him of his momentum and senses.
The former super-lightweight champ was caught so hard he was out for the count well before the he even hit the deck.
Khan said: “I don’t know if he’s got the same kind of power that he had then, but in my opinion, he does hit very, very hard.
“I mean, even before I hit the floor, I was probably knocked out, to be honest with you. That’s how hard he hit me. So that just shows pure power.
“The guy’s very strong and he can definitely hurt someone really badly. But like I said, I don’t know how much power he has left in him now.
“Obviously, as you get older, the power’s not gonna be the same, but I’m sure it’s still very strong.”
Crawford, 37, beat a past-his best Khan in 2019 but the pair reunited as training partners three years later before the Brook grudge bout.
I just don’t think he’s got the fire in the belly like he used to or have that killer instinct like before.

But Khan – who had Crawford in the corner the night he lost to Brook – warned the unbeaten American can hang with the biggest and best of them.
He said: “Crawford is a bigger guy in camp. He’s always a stronger and bigger guy. I’ve seen him take down heavyweights.
“The guy, he’s a good wrestler and also he’s just a very strong guy. He’s got a strong upper body.
“So yeah, I don’t think anyone’s gonna give him any problems, especially Canelo, I don’t think Canelo’s gonna give him any problems.
“Look, you make them wrestle, I guarantee you Crawford will take Canelo down easy. That’s how strong he is.
“He’s a very good strong wrestler as well. But obviously that shows how much strength he has, core strength is solid. He’s a solid guy.”
The pound-for-pound greats meet at the Las Vegas Raiders’ 65,000-seat NFL stadium – streamed live on Netflix.
It has the hallmarks of a bonafide super-fight for the ages – one Khan reckons cannot disappoint.
He said: It’s gonna be a fantastic fight though still regardless because one thing I can say about both fighters is that they’re not gonna sit back and they’re not gonna put on a performance, they’re gonna fight till they die.
“But I just feel that Crawford has that little bit more than Canelo.”
Of the 97 BBC episodes still missing from the early years, there are more yet to be discovered, thanks to private collectors
More of Patrick Troughton’s episdoes as the Doctor are likely to turn up(Image: BBC)
Several more lost episodes of 1960s Doctor Who are probably owned by private collectors and will turn up at some point, an expert has revealed. At present, 97 shows starring the first two Time Lords, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, are missing from the BBC archives.
The master tapes were believed to have been destroyed in the 1970s when it was thought no one would want to watch the black and white episodes again. But the BBC’s first archive selector, Sue Malden, said she believes some copies still exist and has made a plea for their return.
Speaking at the Recovered festival in Leicester, hosted by archive recovery project Film is Fabulous!, she added: “As far as Doctor Who goes, we do not have a statement or anything to make at the moment. We do know fairly certainly that there are episodes missing in private collections. Some members of the Film is Fabulous! team are in a considerably significant position to help on that.
Episodes starring William Hartnell, seen here with Peter Purves and Maureen O’Brien, could yet be reidscovered
“So, when the time is right, we really do hope that it will be Film is Fabulous! that manages to return at least one or two, I don’t know, of the missing episodes of Doctor Who to the BBC.”
Only eight episodes of the show were ever repeated during the 1960s, with copies being made for sales overseas. A source said: “There’s a lot of grounds for optimism that some episodes could be returned before too long. The films will be donated to De Montfort University in Leicester, and carefully restored.”
Lost episodes were as earlier returned by collectors Francis Watson, Terry Burnett and Bruce Grenville. Since the early 1980s, a trickle of copies have been sent back to the BBC, with a batch of nine shows starring Troughton being recovered in 2013 after being found in Nigeria. The most likely stories to turn up are:

1 The Tenth Planet, episode 4, October 29, 1966 Final Hartnell show where he defeated the Cybermen for the first time.
2 The Daleks’ Master Plan, episode 4, December 4, 1965 The Daleks’ Master Plan serial was never shown outside the UK but three episodes of this 12-part epic survive.
3 Marco Polo (broadcast from 22 February – March 4, 1964) Many copies of this were sold around the world.

4 The Web of Fear, episode 3 (broadcast February 17, 1968) Featuring Troughton battling the Yeti on the London Underground, other episodes were returned in 2013.
5 The Macra Terror (broadcast from March 11 – April 1, 1967) Introduced the first set of opening titles to feature Troughton’s face. Doctor and friends encounter a race of giant alien crabs.
Spain were hugely impressive in their 5-0 victory over Portugal. It’s already clear how much better they are this time than they were at the 2022 European Championship, when England beat them in the quarter-finals, and they are only just getting started at this tournament.
Lots of teams have seen changes in personnel since that tournament, and the 2023 World Cup, but none of them have improved to the extent that Spain have.
We saw against Portugal what happens when a team does not adapt at all to the dominant way Spain play – you have to acknowledge you are not going to see much of the ball, sit off them and play on the counter, but Portugal did not really do that and paid the price.
I am not expecting Belgium to make the same mistake, but it is still hard to see them getting anything out of this game. Losing to Italy was a big blow to their hopes of getting out of the group, and this is clearly a much harder task.
Belgium have played Spain four times in the past few months, in the Nations League and in qualifying for these Euros, and lost every time.
A couple of those defeats were heavy ones, but Belgium did cause them a few problems at times too.
I am not sure how close they will get to the world champions this time, but at least they know what to expect.
Best Euros finish: France: semi-finals in 2022. England: winners in 2022
I keep changing my mind about how this game might work out for England, and I am sure that will continue right up until kick-off.
I feel like the Lionesses will probably need to be a little conservative if they are to start the defence of their title with a win, but I can see them keeping a clean sheet if they get things right at the back.
Even in this week’s friendly win over Jamaica, England showed some vulnerability at set-pieces, so they are going to have to tighten up and be sharper in those situations.
England lost two key defensive players, goalkeeper Mary Earps and centre-back Millie Bright, in the run-up to the tournament and while our backline is still at world-class level without them, replacing them has caused some disruption to our defensive unit.
So, I am sure there will still be a few issues that will need to be ironed out as this tournament progresses, but hopefully that won’t cost England any goals or points here.
The key for England winning this game will be them being tight at the back – maintaining possession, controlling the game and reducing the number of mistakes.
If they can do that and also create some chances for our forward line then our attackers are so ruthless, they will take care of the rest.
Next quarter could be an opportunity to make serious money if you’re willing to look beyond the usual altcoin plays. We’ve highlighted five projects that ChatGPT thinks are about to take off – each with catalysts in the works and upside potential that goes far beyond BTC and ETH.
Here’s the AI model’s picks for the best cryptos to buy in Q3:
1. Story (IP)
ChatGPT thinksStory (IP) is building something we’ll all need eventually: a proper system for determining ownership in the age of AI. Think about it – when AI agents are churning out content 24/7, someone needs to track the rights and royalties. That’s precisely what Story does.
Currently, IP is trading at around $3.09, which is 58% below its February all-time high of $7.33. But something has just caught ChatGPT’s attention: two whale wallets purchased16 million IP tokens for $47.5 million. That kind of accumulation is a bullish signal.
What’s also interesting is Story’s Agent TCP/IP framework. This framework lets AI agents trade IP rights automatically – no humans required. So, as AI content explodes everywhere, ChatGPT believes that having a trusted blockchain for this stuff is essential, and Story is the first mover.
2. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)
ChatGPT identifiedBitcoin Hyper (HYPER) as targeting Bitcoin’s biggest weakness: its slow and expensive nature. They’re building a Layer-2 network that uses Solana’s tech to get sub-second transactions while keeping Bitcoin’s security model intact.
Since mid-May, Bitcoin Hyperhas raised $1.5 million in presale. Currently, HYPER tokens are priced at $0.012 each. Plus, the team is offering 504% staking yields for early supporters – and more than104 million HYPER have been locked up already.
ChatGPT notes that timing matters here. Bitcoin’s been trading above $100,000 for weeks, with regulatory conditions looking positive. That means everyone’s looking for scalable Bitcoin solutions. Lightning Network exists, but it doesn’t do smart contracts or cross-chain tasks like Bitcoin Hyper promises.
Analysts likeCilinix Crypto are bullish on HYPER. And ChatGPT suggests that if Bitcoin stays strong and the team delivers what they’re promising, presale investors could cash in big.Visit Bitcoin Hyper Presale.
3. Hyperliquid (HYPE)
ChatGPT flagged a problem that has bugged traders for years: why does DeFi trading still feel clunky compared to platforms like Binance or Coinbase?Hyperliquid (HYPE) has solved this issue. They built a Layer-1 that delivers real on-chain order books with the speed and features you’d expect from a CEX.
The tokenomics are what ChatGPT found fascinating. Hyperliquid captures 97% of all trading revenue and uses it to repurchase HYPE tokens. There’s beenover $1 billion in buybacks already. More volume means more revenue – which means more buybacks.
ChatGPT highlighted that the developers airdropped HYPE to 100,000 early users with zero VC money involved. Plus, there are only 334 million tokens in circulation out of the 1 billion supply. That’s a good sign – fewer tokens are available on the open market, so sustained volume could lead to another massive rally soon.
4. Snorter (SNORT)
ChatGPT seesSnorter (SNORT) as what happens when someone builds proper infrastructure for a meme coin project. It’s a Telegram trading bot that automates everything – sniping new tokens, detecting rug pulls, copy trading, and portfolio tracking. It’s built on Solana but has multi-chain expansion planned.
ChatGPT emphasized not to mistake this for just another silly meme coin. You need SNORT tokens to access the bot’s features, plus you get enormous staking rewards, governance rights, and fee discounts. Snorter’s presalehas raised over $1.1 million so far, with tokens priced at $0.0959.
What ChatGPT also found notable is the infrastructure angle. As meme coin trading gets more intense, automation becomes essential. The bot delivers sub-second Solana execution and MEV protection – all inside Telegram, where meme coin communities live.
The full bot launch is coming soon, followed by expansion to Ethereum and other chains, ultimately leading to DAO governance. Analysts likeApex Syndicate think SNORT could 100x thanks to these plans. So, if you’re seeking a meme coin with real substance, Snorter is worth a look.Visit Snorter Presale.
5. Sei (SEI)
ChatGPT pickedSei (SEI) for building itself to be the fastest Layer-1 blockchain out there, with sub-400 millisecond finality. Most chains feel sluggish compared to this. They use Cosmos SDK with their own “Twin-Turbo” consensus, specifically designed for high-frequency trading and gaming where speed matters.
Sei’s growth numbers are what impressed ChatGPT. TVL went from $85 million last Augustto $500 million at the time of writing. And earlier this month, it reached a peak of $553 million. Also, Sei is processing over 30 million transactions weekly now – that’s more than XRP.
ChatGPT also highlighted Sei’s upcomingGiga Engine launch as a big catalyst. The May testnet showed they can handle over five gigagas per second. That’s enterprise-level performance for DEXs and games that need instant execution – making Sei one of the best cryptos to buy for Q3.

Bitcoin has struggled with speed and functionality issues for over 10 years. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the new layer 2 blockchain that addresses these problems.
The project is currently undergoing a presale, where it has raised a whopping $1.3 million in just two weeks, demonstrating clear market appeal. And it’s not just attracting the attention of profit-hungry traders; leading crypto analysts are backing the project. One well-known analyst even said Bitcoin Hyper is primed for 100x gains.
Currently, investors can buy $HYPER at a fixed and discounted presale rate of $0.011925. However, this price will rise throughout the ICO, with the next increase happening later today.
How Bitcoin Hyper fixes Bitcoin’s speed problem
Since its inception, Bitcoin’s goal has been to deliver a peer-to-peer global cash system, not just offer a Store-of-Value.
It has only been framed as a Store-of-Value due to its speed restrictions. Bitcoin can process 7 transactions per second (TPS), a long way from the requirements to enable frequent global transactions.
Developers have addressed this issue through various means, one being building layer 2 blockchains.
The Lightning Network is the most well-known, allowing users to create microchannels that enable scalable transactions. However, the complexities of setting up these channels aren’t just a burden; they’re a deterrent for everyone but the most avid Bitcoin enthusiasts.
There are also other Bitcoin layer 2s built using optimistic rollups, but withdrawal times on these networks are painstakingly long, sometimes days or weeks.
Many of these earlier layer 2s also lack the performance capabilities needed for modern use cases. DeFi, meme coins, and RWAs all need sub-second transactions.
Bitcoin Hyper is the new Bitcoin layer 2 blockchain that offers just that. Sub-second transactions for a new golden age in Bitcoin development.
It’s built using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), which brings Solana’s speed and programmability to Bitcoin.
Moreover, Bitcoin Hyper’s Canonical Bridge maintains Bitcoin security and also enables speedy network withdrawals. It’s addressing the major issues of earlier layer 2s, but doesn’t stop there.
Since it’s built using SVM, Solana-based apps and tokens can easily migrate to Bitcoin Hyper, where they’ll be able to tap into a portion of Bitcoin’s $2 trillion liquidity. That’s the bedrock for a vibrant ecosystem.
The network is also interoperable with Ethereum, allowing developers and users to transfer Ethereum-based assets to the network.
Ultimately, Bitcoin Hyper is at the intersection of crypto’s three hottest ecosystems.
Analyst calls for 100x gain as $HYPER presale claims $1.3 million
Top crypto analyst ClayBro recently appeared on the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel, where he told its 700K subscribers that Bitcoin Hyper is poised for 100x gains.
He pointed to the institutional frenzy currently underway, with asset manager BlackRock pouring capital into its Bitcoin ETF IBIT, while publicly traded companies like Metaplanet and Strategy rush to stockpile Bitcoin.
“We’ve got the world looking at Bitcoin as a global strategic reserve,” he added.
ClayBro and many other top analysts anticipate Bitcoin to rally on the back of this institutional demand. However, ClayBro tips Bitcoin Hyper as the best way to capitalize, noting that it can “improve Bitcoin utility.”
Last chance to buy $HYPER before price increase
With price increases occurring throughout the Bitcoin Hyper presale, those seeking to maximize their upside potential should act fast.
Presale participants can also stake their tokens and currently earn a 553% APY. However, this APY will decrease as the staking pool grows.
With Bitcoin’s bright outlook, analyst support, and Bitcoin Hyper’s market-leading approach to scaling and implementing Bitcoin utility, it appears that $HYPER is primed for significant gains this year.
Potential investors can also rest assured that Bitcoin Hyper is safe and secure. It has received smart contract audits from Coinsult and Spywolf, and neither found any issues with the project’s code.
