Latest contestant to be banished in The Traitors revealed

The latest contestant to be banished in The Traitors has been revealed – and shocked the rest of the cast by admitting a revelation of their own.

Psychologist Ellie, 33, received the most votes at the roundtable and was told that she would be the next to leave the castle.

She then took the other contestants by surprise as she told them she had not come on to the show alone as her boyfriend was Ross, who was previously banished.

Friday-night’s episode of the hit BBC show had earlier seen Jessie become the latest faithful to be murdered.

The episode also ended with a twist as host Claudia Winkleman presented them with a ceremonial dagger.

“Whoever has this gets a double vote at the next roundtable,” she told the shocked contestants, who had gathered for a dinner party.

“The only catch is, it’s up to the traitors who has it.”

After Ellie was told she would be banished, she stood before the rest of the contestants to announce whether she had been a traitor or a faithful.

She said: “I’ve had the best time.

“I do have a confession that I’d like to make before I go.

“I didn’t come in here alone. I actually came in here with my boyfriend, Ross.

“But, don’t worry, I was honest about what’s important. I am a faithful.”

Hair stylist Jessie had become the latest victim to fall foul of traitors Rachel and Stephen.

Viewers had been left hanging as to whether it would be Jessie, Matthew or Faraaz who became the next murder victim after they failed to win themselves protection in the previous episode.

Rachel and Stephen were seen making the decision in the turret, with Stephen exclaiming: “What have I become?”

Rachel told him: “I know, you’re a demon.”

Jessie made the shortlist after Thursday’s episode saw her put the heat on traitor Stephen at the round table as she accused him of being the murderer in their midst.

Rachel and Stephen had also discussed Matthew as an option after he previously asked if the traitors would recruit him.

The pair agreed that “he’s dangerous”.

As Jessie, 28, was revealed as the latest victim, Stephen told viewers that the breakfast was the “most anxious” he had ever felt during the game.

Rachel said: “It’s really hard to be false. We made a really difficult decision last night and I think there’s going to be a lot of drama to come.”

The Traitors continues on Wednesday at 8pm.
