It wasn’t long before the first banishment ceremony took place, with Thursday’s (January 2) instalment showing that Nathan – a Faithful – was the unlucky player as he was voted out of the game.

The group had to dust themselves off quickly, however, as they participated in their first challenge of the season. They were required to topple a giant statue of a cloaked figure with the use of gunpowder, which was acquired by successfully answering questions.

In addition to adding money to the prize pot, there was another incentive as host Claudia Winkleman revealed that there would be no murder on the night should they succeed in their task. The group subsequently completed their task, adding £6k to the pot in the process.
The drama wasn’t done there, however, with another banishment ceremony taking place. After a heated debate, Elen – another Faithful – became the seventh contestant to leave the show already, with the Traitors still having their full quota…
The Traitors airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
