Traitors turn on each other in fiery episode as player banished after tied vote

By Hannah Roberts, Press Association Senior Entertainment Reporter

Two traitors have turned on each other in an explosive episode of the hit BBC One show that deals in “deceit and betrayal”.

Local government officer Fiona went to war with fellow traitor Rachel towards the end of Thursday’s episode when she told contestants she believes her to be among the plotting group of murderers.

It comes after Rachel announced to the group that banished faithful Amanda had confided in her and told her she was a former police detective prior to her departure.

Fiona told Rachel: “I am really suspicious of you. I question why she would have told you.”

Amanda had been banished from the show after her fate was left to chance following a tied vote.

The 57-year-old from Brighton received the same amount of votes as sweet shop assistant Reece across two rounds of voting.

Before her departure she told contestants: “Remember everything that I’ve said today, and most importantly, my house is your house, anytime.

“I don’t need to go all dramatic. I think you all know what I’m going to say… take care of yourselves, I’m a faithful.”

Before she left Amanda, who had been keeping her former job a secret, told Rachel: “I was a senior detective in the Metropolitan Police, so I’m very adept at covert policing. That was my job.”

In a confessional, Rachel said: “I think it really helps my case. So I’m trying to kind of figure out how to let this roll out.”

Amanda said: “If I don’t come back tomorrow, then I would like Rachel to have some armoury to think about, because it gives more credence to my theories. I’m not always right, but I want to do the best that I can for my fellow faithfuls.”
