The BBC's Celebrity Traitors has ended an episode on a dramatic cliffhanger, with two celebrity contestants pleading for their lives as they face being 'murdered' in the game. The episode featured Richard E. Grant and James Acaster among those in peril, with host Claudia Winkleman presiding over the tension-filled scenes. Viewers are speculating online about which of the two stars will survive until the next instalment.

Mortgage rates for FHA and VA loans have pushed into the low 7% range as of October 1, according to Norada Real Estate Investments. The uptick matters for first-time buyers and veterans relying on these government-backed loans, who are among the most rate-sensitive borrowers. Higher rates raise monthly payments and could further strain housing affordability heading into the fall homebuying season.

Viewers of Celebrity Traitors are speculating about which star was the first 'murdered' in season two, after the show ended on a cliffhanger that left the victim's identity unrevealed. Fans say they have already worked out who the first casualty is, fuelling discussion and theories online ahead of the next episode.
