Series 3 of The Traitors returned to BBC One tonight (January 1) and already viewers are “gutted” by the first murder.
After being introduced to this year’s cast, three contestants were forced to “eliminate” themselves early from the competition before setting off on their train journey to the castle. Despite a lot of hesitation, Alexander, Fozia, and Jack volunteered to get off and were not seen for the rest of the episode. However, their future on the show still remains a mystery at this point.

This is the first time Claudia has picked three women have been chosen to be Traitors. For now, the remaining contestants are playing as Faithfuls.
Soon after Linda, Armani, and Minah discovered they were all Traitors, they had to team up and murder for the first time.
