The Traitors returned on Wednesday (January 22) for its final week, where either the faithfuls or traitors will take the victory. The episode began with the revelation of who was murdered as the contestants each returned to breakfast.

With Joe nowhere to be seen, it was revealed that he had lost his place in the game, after secretly being murdered by traitors Minah and Charlotte.

As suspicious arose throughout the episode, Jake shared his views that he believed there must be a male traitor amongst them. He told his fellow contestants 'they can't all be women' and 'there has to be a man'.

He even shared his thoughts at the round table, pointing the finger at both Freddie and Alexander. But fans were left fuming at Jake's admission, as little does he know the traitors are, and have always been, female.

Viewers took to X to air their anger at Jake's telling comment, as one fan @iiybilmm wote: "And why does it have to be a man #TheTraitors," and @nutterhtowse said: "‘Can’t all be women’ well Jake… #TheTraitors."

@MissLSW wrote: "They can't all be women" Why? Why can't they be? #TheTraitors," as @MillieSansoye echoed: "Sorry but why can’t all the Traitors be women, Jake? What am I missing? #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors."
