The Traitors’ fans fume as key player is axed after ‘feud’ with co-star in shock banishment

FANS of The Traitors were left absolutely furious after one of the 'key' contestants was brutally axed.

Viewers eagerly tuned into the BBC detective gameshow to watch the action unfold, as a surprised 'feud' came to its head on the programme, fronted by Claudia Winkleman.

The Traitors viewers were left in shock as Ross, 28, was banished from the castle as the group got rid of the newest Traitor.

Last week, Harry, 22, and Andrew, 45, decided to recruit Ross as a Traitor instead of murdering a member of the Faithful.

However, after the army engineer claimed to put Diane, 63, 'in her place', Ross made his secret intentions clear to the camera.

He exclaimed: "Traitor Ross is in full force. Golden Boy Harry murdered my mum.

"I'm livid. Look Harry mate, I'm coming for you man."

The Round Table was dramatic and Ross seemed to "fumble" at the last hurdle with the confrontational scenes.

Viewers took to X - formerly known as Twitter - in droves as they fumed at the result, because they felt like fan favourite star Diane did not get the justice she deserved.

One viewer fumed: "Justice for Diane justice for Ross!! 😭 #TheTraitors."

Another fan claimed: "Diane disowning Ross after failing to avenge her death #TheTraitors."

"Ross and diane are lowkey MY royal family #TheTraitors", noted a third.

Meanwhile, a fourth user said: "We were robbed of our revenge plot. Ross has not only let Ar Diane down, he’s let the nation down #TheTraitors"

As someone else wrote: "Well Ross, that stint didn’t last very long did it babes. We’re supposed to be avenging Diane, not joining her x."

And a sixth enthusiast added: "Revenge denied, I’m raging! #TheTraitors Diane deserved more!"

It was clear that Harry and Ross were engulfed in a secret war throughout the episode as insurance broker Andrew was in the middle.

Just before the physical challenge as the contestants were leaving the castle, Harry wanted a quiet word with his fellow Traitor.

He whispered: "Do we get rid of him?"

Later on in the episode after Andrew banked the money, Ross wanted a quiet word in the snack kitchen.

Ross wanted to chat to Andrew who claimed that Harry has been "very elusive."

He said: "I think he'd give any opportunity to bin us off."

At the round table, Ross sealed his fate as he tried to pit Andrew against Harry as he revealed the contents of their secret conversation.

However, he left his fellow contestants absolutely shocked as he revealed that he was the son of Diane, just before he left the premises.
