Yin Liu

Yin was the very first contestant to be murdered by the villainous Traitors.

Although she never even made it to the first roundtable, Yin created several viral internet moments during her time on the show.

The star was known for her love of singing and even penned her own Traitors-themed lyrics to the Weather Girls’ classic song It’s Raining Men and Human by The Killers.

Nathan Khider 

Nathan was the first person to be banished by the Faithfuls.

The property developer only appeared in two episodes of the TV show but he has lived an incredible life off-screen. 

He revealed to The Sun that he was once homeless, before later becoming a millionaire. 

Recalling that difficult period in his life, he said: "People say six months is nothing, but at the time it felt like an eternity. 

“It felt like I was there forever. 

“Every day, 'What food do I eat? What clothes do I wear?'"

Keith Stewart

Keith became the second person to be murdered on The Traitors, despite hoping to win the show’s contestants over with his comedic personality. 

Speaking about his love of comedy, he said: “I've always been the clown of the family. 

“I get on with people from every walk of life, all ages, all religions, it just comes naturally to me! I'm never sad, never miserable. 

“I don't take things too seriously and I’ll be bringing that to the castle."

Sadly, the window cleaner was unable to share his humour with fans after his early elimination.

Armani Gouveia

Armani was the first Traitor to be successfully caught by the Faithfuls on the third series of the BBC show.

She starred on the show alongside her younger sister Maia. 

Unlike mother-and-son duo Diane and Ross from Season 2, the Maia and Armani chose to reveal that they were related from the start.

Sadly, Armani’s sister Maia was the next person to be murdered by the Traitors. 

Her game plan to “act dumb, but not too dumb” was unsuccessful, bringing an end to the sisters’ dream of winning the show.

Although she only left during the fourth episode of the show, Maia was the sixth person to leave the show overall.

Jack Marriner-Brown

Jack was one of the few contestants who left the show despite not being murdered or banished. 

Instead, he was one of the three stars who stepped off the train in the first episode. 

Only two of the contestants were able to progress past a gruelling, coin-collecting challenge and, unfortunately, Jack was the unlucky player to be eliminated.

Kasim Ahmed

Kasim was banished after being under suspicion for much of his time on the show. 

The doctor believes that his castmates suspected him because Armani defended him during roundtables. 

He said: "After Armani went, everything seemed to fall on me, and it didn't matter what I did.

"Everyone had just decided that I was a traitor."

Tyler Smith

Tyler was banished from the castle on January 9, 2025, . 

He was the only player to leave that day, as The Traitors had failed to seduce Anna. 

The Leicester local had decided to join the show after watching the first series with his mum.

Livi was murdered by the Traitors on January 10, 2025, just a day after the nailbiting episode which saw Tyler leaving the castle. 

Her elimination from the game cast further suspicion on Freddie. 

She was the second player to accuse Freddie of murder, after Maia accused him two days earlier.

Dan quickly became a fan favourite during his time on The Traitors

He had played a key role in the banishment of Armani, but came under suspicion when it was revealed that he had lied during one of the show’s challenges. 

This led Minah Shannon to lead the charge for his elimination, despite secretly being a traitor herself.

Fozia Fazil

Fozia was eliminated after losing a terrifying death-match game. 

She was entered into the game by the traitors alongside several other contestants. 

Sadly, where Anna and Alexander were able to win the game, Fozia lost and was murdered.

The Traitors’ Linda’s clever rule break was a genius move that could help her win, says Paul Gorton

Linda Rands

Linda became a viral sensation after she repeatedly came close to outing herself as a Traitor

She even looked directly at Claudia Winkleman when the TV presenter said the word “traitors”. 

This led the BBC to jokingly give her a “performance of a lifetime” award. 

Her time on The Traitors did come to an end though, when her castmates finally worked out that she was a Traitor

However, he became much quieter after the game which made his fellow cast-members suspicious of him.
