James Blunt may have made it to the final day in the Celebrity Traitors castle – but he's claimed that wasn't quite his intention.

In a new interview with the BBC, the Brit Award winner said that he was originally hoping he'd be given the boot early doors, as "we all get paid the same, whether you're there for day one or day 23".

"For most of the time, I was trying to... get the hell out of dodge," he quipped. "But no-one was killing me and no-one was banishing me!"
