James Acaster is clearing the air about his time on “The Celebrity Traitors,” calling a report that he complained about his competitors “completely fabricated.”

A few weeks ago, the Daily Mail claimed that the comedian had “complained to producers” that he was being teased by fellow players (and comedians) Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and was made “uncomfortable” by their “macho banter.” Speaking on “Celebrity Traitors” Season 1 winner Alan Carr’s podcast on Monday, Acaster rejected the rumor.
