‘Murdered’ Bella finds out who the Traitors are

They’re now showing the moment when Bella found out the Traitors’ identities — and they’re most shocked about James A.

“[gasps] I had a sick feeling that it was him,” they say. “Oh, that’s dark. That’s so good. He’s excellent.”

Asked who Bella wants to win, they say: “I am now rooting solely for James Acaster, I really want him to win. That is absolutely brilliant.”

They’re now chatting about one of my favourite bits of the show – Hannah making the unorthodox move of defending Julie at the round table.

“It worked, didn’t it?” Julie says. “Everyone was gunning for Hannah, then turned on me. I think it was the fact I got that shield [at the start].

“As I said several times, I thought I’d chosen the next Traitor.”

Asked who she would have given the second shield too, if she hadn’t kept it for herself back in episode one, Julie says Hannah.

Julie admits she ignored everyone’s advice

She’s chatting to Ed about her time in the castle – and that banishment.

“I should have put up a better fight,” Julie says. “I don’t know what happened.”

“Everyone in my life said, ‘Remember, when you go in, keep a low profile for the first couple of days. Keep it on the easy…’ So I wore a bright red dress, sat at the front of the church and then greeted everyone who walked in.”

Banished Faithful says ‘I knew I looked guilty’

Before Julie arrives in the Uncloaked studio, we’re getting to see an interview she gave Ed the morning after her exit.

She says her banishment was deserved. “I lost my ability to defend myself,” she says. “I was totally sketchy through the whole thing.

“James Blunt went at me. He painted me as this Machiavellian creature going around and putting poison into people’s ears.”

So here’s who is heading into the crypt: Romesh, Leigh-Anne, Ross and Rob!

And don’t they look delighted to be there?

For once, the Traitors have chosen not to put one of their own into the game.

Here’s what is happening: they will each be placed into a crypt and there’s a key that will guarantee one of them safety. The players have decided it’s going to Leigh-Anne! So if the Traitors decide to kill her, all four of the celebs in crypts will survive…

And there’s been another twist!

The Traitors have to pick four people for a game of hide and seek – that only three people will survive…

Maya’s pep talk seems to have worked as well, Hannah and James are getting into it a bit more!

Sharon’s in tears and accusing James Blunt of being a stirrer! And he’s listening in the corridor! This is too much, I need a lie-down.

Miranda’s face says it all *and* Hannah is having a meltdown in her to-camera interview… it’s a lot.
