He mentioned he will be sitting down to view the final tonight as it airs, with his entire family and "some snacks".
Thursday night's final episode is lengthened to 70 minutes on BBC One, with an longer version of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on the secondary channel following the final.
