Emotions were running high in The Traitors as Harry broke down in tears over voting out Jonny, with whom he had built up a deep bond as they had both served in the army in the outside world.

Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Harry revealed he felt "choked up" because as a traitor he knew that Jonny wasn't lying and he could see him physically shaking at the roundtable. He felt doubly bad having started off the votes with Jonny's name.

"That roundtable was hard," Harry said in a piece to camera. "Jonny was such a hero. He's my idol. We had a bond. That's outside the game. You have that brotherhood sort of thing. Then to have to betray him.. Pfft. I was choked up. Proper. Because I knew he wasn't lying. I could see him shaking. I could see I was causing this. I kept playing over this it was a game. I hope he would have done the same to me and that's what I would have told myself."

It comes after his fellow traitor Paul was left in tears. Crying his eyes out, he told the faithfuls that he was missing his son. Away from the others, the traitor insisted his emotions were "genuine feelings". He explained further: "But to be honest that was genuine emotion, reshaped in a way I was going to benefit from it."

At breakfast the following day, some faithfuls begun to voice their suspicions about Paul being a traitor because Meg was murdered and many people were adamant that she was the traitor.

    Paul was put on the spot but he dealt with it well. "It's not nice to walk into the room last, have everyone stare at you," he said. His words were met with sympathy from some of the faithfuls.

    Away from the group, in a piece to camera, Paul said he was feeling the heat of the pressure. "I do feel a little bit under pressure since the dungeon," he said.

Let me finish."

    When they were alone, Anthony shared how he was really thinking. Anthony decided Paul could be double bluffing. He said: "It's Paul. So that remains to be seen, you can't argue against the two lines of thinking."

    Jaz confided in Jasmine and Ross that he thinks Paul is a traitor. However, he was hesitant to tell everyone at the roundtable of his suspicions because he doesn't want everyone to turn on him. He explained: "I think he's a cool guy. I've told you guys that it is Paul. He's not made eye contact with me. Because he's so popular, no one will bring up his name. I'm not bringing up his name now."

    Ross disagreed as he felt Paul was at his most vulnerable at the moment. He said: "Now is the time."

    "If his time comes, if his time comes," Jaz said. "He's a strong character."

  • Will Paul escape suspicion?

    But not everyone suspects Paul of being a traitor. Charlotte revealed she 100% backs him. Away from the others, she shared her true feelings. "I trust him one hundred percent," she said. "I'm chuffed he's still here."

    Vet Miles admitted he would try help steer the conversation away from Paul because he's a good traitor but he wouldn't put himself at risk. "I'll put myself in the firing line," he said in a piece to camera.

  • Paul shocks everyone at breakfast

    Oh my gods and wows were on everyone's lips when Paul walked in at breakfast. Everyone had been expecting to see Meg but she had been murdered after being condemned to the dungeon. Meg wasn't surprised that she was the one chosen to leave as she said she was "observant".

    Off camera, Evie was onto Paul as she admitted she thinks he is a traitor now. "There's so many people absolutely convinced Paul is a faithful," Evie said off camera. "I think you're a traitor. But I think I'm in the minority there."

    Paul boasted that the traitors were ahead of the game but Harry did air some concerns that everyone could be looking at him now following his double bluff.

    "It worked," Paul said. "Today felt like a proper mission accomplished. But to be fair, the dungeon, Ash was terrible down there. A team is only as strong as it's weakest link... She needed to go." Paul admitted he wanted to go back and "hide now". They have to get rid of Meg, the only person they can murder. Harry had no qualms pointing out that the faithfuls would be looking at Paul as a potential traitor now.

  • Paul breaks down in tears

    Paul was sobbing his eyes out when the roundtable was out. Wiping the tears from his eyes, he broke down following the news. He insisted they were "genuine feelings". Paul said: "But to be honest that was genuine emotion, reshaped in a way I was going to benefit from it."

  • Everyone cheering after Ash named traitor

    Everyone cheered and roared as Ash told the group she was a traitor. "Wow," they shouted. The group was absolutely delighted to see the traitor lose.

    "I want to say you are an absolutely magnificent group of people," Ash said. "I don't think I've belly laughed in awhile. So it's been an honour and a privilege. I am a traitor."
