expert Roo Irvine warned her co-star Natasha Raskin Sharp that it was "kicking off" between two of their guests.

During the celebrity edition of the BBC show, Harry Clark and Paul Gorton went on a journey through the Scottish highlands in a bid to find some hidden treasures.

Famed for their appearances on BBC's , Paul put his cards on the table as he told his friend: "You wont The Traitors. I need to win this."

Roo and Natasha headed to Dingwall as they helped the duo on their hunt. Looking around an antique shop, Roo set eyes on a mourning brooch which featured human hair.

Meanwhile, Paul discovered a 9 carat gold watch which Roo described as "beautiful". Turning to the shop owner, they managed to purchase the two items for £240.

Across the store, Natasha quizzed Harry about his time in the army which led the duo to a pair of binoculars used in the First World War.

The item, worth £80 got Natasha's seal of approval as she said: "Carl Zeiss is a great maker of anything optical. They are German, high quality military field binoculars."

They took the binoculars to the store owner, along with three Irish spoons worth £60 each. Natasha and Harry were thrilled as they walked away from the store having paid £140 for both items.

Roo and Paul found themselves in Hill of Fearne, while Natasha and Harry travelled to Cromarty.

Paul stumbled across a photo of Ardross Castle, the place where The Traitors was filmed, taken in 1902. Roo suggested Paul sign it before taking it to auction, declaring: "Harry would hate this."

They also purchased a Titanic paper for £45. Meanwhile, Natasha and Harry spotted a 19th century mug which Natasha said was "creamware and lustrous".

Harry tried his best to get the £69 price down, going as far to ask the shop owner out on a date. They ultimately decided on £55.

The two teams eventually met up and showed each other their items. The fighting talk began as Harry picked up Paul's watch, declaring: "You'll need this to sell because your other stuff, I'm not feeling your other stuff."

However, this didn't faze Paul and Roo as she muttered: "We're going to win."

Things turned playful as Harry exclaimed: "Hold me back," before squaring up to his co-star.

"Oh my goodness," Roo exclaimed. "Tash, it's kicking off."

However, it was clear the situation was completely lighthearted as Harry confessed: "I can't look at you without smiling."

It was Paul and Roo who came out on top at the end of the show, with their loss of £81.20 beating Harry and Natasha's loss of £105.00.
