The Traitors star Evie reveals huge behind the scenes secret about show villain Paul – and why she didn’t expose him

THE Traitors star Evie Morrison has revealed a huge behind the scenes secret about show villain Paul Gorton.

Friday night's episode was left on a cliffhanger when the Traitors - Miles, Harry and Paul - were told that they had to murder one of the Faithfuls by making them drink from the poisoned chalice.

Last night it was revealed that Miles gave the glass to Diane and they all attended her funeral the following day.

After Diane was murdered, the group started to discuss who they thought could be the Traitors - and Miles and Evie were the names that were brought up.

During the round table Paul turned on his fellow Traitor Miles, which then led Harry to do the same, in a bid to save themselves.

Before the funeral, Diane said to Paul and Evie: "If he [Paul] dies, that's Jaz, if I die it's Miles."

Paul brought it up at the table and said: "It is awkward Miles because I do love you...

"Diane looked at me and said 'if I die then it's Miles, and if you die, then it's Jaz'."

He then turned to Evie so that he could back her up and she replied: "I never heard Diane say that."

Evie tweeted after the show: "I OBVIOUSLY HEARD DIANE. I just wasn’t gonna be a pawn in Paul’s sneaky game looool."

In the end Miles was voted out after Paul and Harry turned on their fellow Traitor.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the episode The Traitors’ bosses were branded ‘cruel’ after Ross was forced to attend his mum Diane’s ‘funeral’.

The mother son duo have kept their relation a secret during their time in the mansion.

Those watching at home had to watch Ross throw a black rose into the coffin before the lid was shut tight.

One took to X to write: "How cruel that they got Ross to attend Diane’s funeral when he will actually have to do that one day."

Another posted: "Not only have I had to watch my favourite faithful go but I’ve had to watch poor Ross see his own Mother be buried at a funeral."

A third then put: "The fact that Ross is having to watch his own mother's funeral."
