21:43 - Adam admits that he 'wanted to slap' James after shield betrayal

Adam has admitted that he stopped himself from 'slapping' James on set after his shield betrayal. Last night's episode saw James secretly take a shield during the challenge, resulting in their earnings going down and some seriously miffed contestants.

Speaking on Uncloaked about the moment he found out, Adam said: "I wanted to slap him. Honestly, I genuinely wanted to slap him and my head was going, 'Adam, don't, don't, don't.'

"I was like, he's done what he's done. If he'd said on the mission, 'I've got to take a shield,' then fine. We've got two to defend five. That's the aim of the game, we understand that. Still bringing some money back but not taking it all.

"No, he went behind our back. I don't like being lied to. I know we're in a game here where people lie to you, but I don't like being lied to face to face and he did.

"I asked him a few times as we walked into the castle. He could have just gone, 'Yeah, yeah, it was me.' I would have left it. But he didn't and I was just bubbling off."

I bet James is glad Adam was killed now!

21:30 - Sam shouts out in shock as he reacts to Traitors identities

Sam was left flabberghasted when he discovered that Rachel was a Traitor on Uncloaked.

With murdered Adam reading out the list of Traitors, he started with Stephen first, with Sam saying: "I knew it and last night confirmed it for me as well! I knew that."

Adam said: "He was never on my radar," to which Sam replied: "I thought, 'watch you brings up my name now,' and he was first to do it."

When Rachel was revealed, Sam shouted out: "No! Just those two? I mean, Rachel - wow. She deserves to win."

Adam added: "Harriet was right! Harriet was right! We all voted her out."

21:01 - The Traitors renege on their deal with Matthew as they contemplate his murder

Poor Matthew! Not only are Rachel and Stephen choosing not to recruit him as they promised, they're considering killing him!

With the two remaining Traitors putting Matthew, Jessie and Faraz up for murder, it's hard to guess who they'll pick.

20:53 - Harriet’s sacrifice proves to be in vein as Rachel escapes unscathed

By Lauren Morris

Despite Harriet going all in on Rachel before being banished, Rachel hasn’t received a single vote at tonight’s roundtable! She’s unstoppable!

20:50 - Sam is banished as Traitor Stephen leads the charge

The cast have banished yet another Faithful, with Sam being kicked off the show.

It came after actual Traitor Stephen put forward the theory that a Traitor had to be someone who knew that James had a shield - and that person is Sam.

Another one bites the dust!

20:49 - Jessie hailed as "a genius" as she targets Stephen with compelling theory

By Lauren Morris

Fans are calling Jessie a "genius" after she put forward her correct theories around Stephen being a Traitor. The Faithful pointed out that he was emotional about voting for Fiona during her banishment, suggesting that it could be guilt for getting out another Traitor.

"Bloody hell Jessie is a genius. Like a sniffer dog #TraitorsUK #TheTraitorsUK," one fan wrote on X. "Clock it Jessie but ik nobody gonna listen to her #TraitorsUK."

20:45 - Fans frustrated as none of the Faithfuls suspect Rachel

By Lauren Morris

The latest roundtable has kicked off with Sam and Ellie's names being thrown out as Traitors - but fans can't believe that no one is suspecting Rachel after last night's explosive debate.

"Why is no one calling out Rachel after yesterday!!" one fan wrote on Reddit. Another said: "Poor Harriet sacrificed for nothing… apparently Rachel suddenly been forgotten."

20:34 - A fan favourite makes her return...

By Lauren Morris

Eagled-eyed fans may have spotted that a doll from last year's infamous doll challenge just popped up in the task.

Pleased to see that her contract was renewed!

20:20 - Adam's killing lands James in hot water

By Lauren Morris

With Adam, who didn't take a shield in the last challenge, having been murdered, the rest of the cast have started to suspect James as a Traitor after it came to light that he secretly took a shield.

Could James' time in the castle be up soon?

20:10 - Ghost-hunting builder Adam becomes the Traitors’ latest victim

The Traitors have struck lucky once again, choosing to kill Adam - the only person on their kill list who didn’t secretly have a shield.

While they considered murdering Jessie and James, they ultimately chose to kill Adam. Hopefully, the ghost-hunter’s murder won’t come back to haunt them!

Unfortunately, it seems as though Adam didn't get a chance to make his mark on the show, with one viewer saying: "Poor Adam he was totally irrelevant the entire series lmao."

19:51 - Traitors fans stunned by Claudia Winkleman's fringeless look

By Lauren Morris

Claudia Winkleman has made her jet black fringe, heavy eyeliner and pale lipstick a brand trademark, but there was once a time when she had none of those.

In one of her first TV appearances, Claudia stopped by BBC's Good Morning in 1996, sporting a very different look. "That’s the first time I’ve seen Claudia’s eyes. Aren’t they lovely!" one fan wrote.

Another added: "Pre-fringe Winkleman!"

19:31 - Dame Kelly Holmes backs Rachel to win

By Lauren Morris

Dame Kelly Holmes has revealed herself to be a huge Traitors fan and is impressed with how Traitor Rachel is getting on.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "Rachel is very smart, isn’t she? She’s playing a really good game. And I did enjoy the controversy with Fiona – she definitely stirred the pot."

As for whether she'd do Celebrity Traitors, Dame Kelly said it's "never say never". She added: " I think I’d get too anxious. That round table looks so stressful."

19:14 - Harriet speaks out after last night's wild episode

By Lauren Morris

Harriet has taken to Instagram to speak out after last night's explosive episode, telling her fans: "I showed you then who I really am."

In the video, she said: "By now you will have all seen episode seven. And, yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I'm sitting here in anticipation of it feeling actually quite horrified at the fact that it's there and it's out there. But, I am glad that you've now seen me in my full glory or, blergh, lack of it.

"I was never fit to be Prime Minister but I appreciate the fact that you thought I might have got further. At least I left on my own terms. Thank you all so much for the love and support, it has been hugely appreciated. But, I think we all need to remember that I was also the lady whose suitcase blew away at the beginning and I think I showed you then who I really am."

Fans praised her 'kamikaze move', as she attempted to expose Rachel (

19:06 - What happened last night?

By Lauren Morris

Last night’s episode of The Traitors was one for the history books, with crime novelist Harriet angrily confronting the Traitors and furiously accusing Rachel at the breakfast table.

She even pointed a suspicious finger at Roxy after the pair clashed over Harriet’s rant. “Harriet I don't want to hear anything that you've got to say and I think the way you spoke at the table was disgusting," Roxy told her. "To say that we're actually friends in this game, that went past the friendship for me."

Ultimately, the rest of the group chose to banish Harriet after she asked them to - hoping that it would prove she was a Faithful and place suspicion on Rachel.

Back in the turret, Rachel and Stephen chose to murder again instead of recruit, with them picking between Jessie, Adam and James. But who will become their next victim? We'll have to wait until 8pm...

19:04 - Strictly star reveals huge Traitors spoilers in now-deleted post

It seems as though Strictly’s La Voix accidentally revealed which Faithful would be murdered tonight in a now-deleted TikTok on the set of Uncloaked.

Sharing a video on TikTok, Uncloaked guest La Voix filmed herself with series three star Linda on the spin-off show’s set - however, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a new portrait in the background with a cross-out face on it.

“La Voix is a guest on Uncloaked tonight and posted a TikTok earlier today with the cast pictures in the background and a big cross through someone's picture. It's a very quick shot but definitely a cross…” the viewer said on Reddit.

Another reacted: "Actually quite gutted about that."

We won’t reveal who the portrait is of but it’s safe to say that La Voix could face the wrath of Claudia!
