How that shock Traitors moment compares to the 5 most jaw-dropping from across the series

by

Last week on The Traitors, things got incredibly dramatic! Fiona was unmasked as the Secret Traitor, and in a shocking move, she tried to turn the tables by accusing fellow Traitor Rachel of dishonesty regarding a private conversation with Amanda. However, her plan failed spectacularly, leading to her banishment. In a surprising turn, Matthew then volunteered to join the Traitors!

The drama intensified on Uncloaked when Fiona admitted she believed Rachel’s story about Amanda, but she wanted to humble her, viewing Amanda as a rival.

This season of The Traitors UK was packed with shocking moments that will definitely be remembered as some of the show’s most dramatic ever, and it’s made us reflect on other memorable scenes from the series.

What to Read Next

We revisited the first three seasons to highlight five of the most surprising moments – excluding the celebrity edition.

Where do you think Fiona’s chaotic plan ranks?

Tom reveals Alex is his girlfriend – season 1

While Kieran’s famous final act is well-known and debated, this particular incident is baffling – it just makes you wonder what led someone to do it.

At breakfast, people began to suspect Alex, so Tom quickly announced they were a couple. This caused a huge reaction, but didn’t help him – he was eliminated shortly after. It turned out Alex wasn’t a traitor, though she ultimately became a victim, as she was murdered. The initial suspicion remained, regardless.

Diane reveals Ross is her son – season 2

It’s happened again – contestants who knew each other before the show, but this time with a twist. Everyone suspected Diane’s child was Paul, another redhead, and that’s exactly what many viewers thought.

The surprise reveal of Ross was completely unexpected, and Diane’s perfectly timed pause before announcing “but Ross is…” was a highlight of the show, earning it a BAFTA nomination.

The Seer power uncovers a Traitor – season 3

In a surprising twist before the final round, Francesca was given the power to decide which team a player would be on. She used this power to assign Charlotte to the Traitor team.

Honestly, the drama was intense! It all blew up with a huge fight between Francesca and Charlotte over breakfast, and the others just decided to kick them both out – a pretty drastic move! It ended up giving Faithful the win, which was wild. Now I’m really wondering how adding a Seer next season would change things. It feels like it could really shake up the whole dynamic and create even more suspicion.

The final round table and Harry’s victory – season 2

Jaz really tried to warn Mollie that Harry was deceiving her, and initially, Mollie even seemed to agree, marking Harry for removal. However, at the very last moment, she switched her vote, ultimately causing the Traitors to win.

Finally, Harry had to tell his closest competitor – and friend – that he’d been secretly working against everyone, including her, throughout the entire game. Even he was upset about it, though the £95,000 prize likely softened the blow.

Charlotte lies to Freddie about Leanne’s shield – season 3

This was a particularly underhanded betrayal. Charlotte cleverly used Freddie, quickly setting him up to take the blame for something.

She tricked Freddie into attempting to kill Leanne, knowing Leanne was protected and would survive. She then manipulated the situation to get Freddie exiled, making Charlotte appear incredibly loyal as they neared the end – but a surprising revelation from the Seer threatened to ruin everything.

We’re at the midpoint of the season, and it’s been quite a ride so far. Some viewers felt the reveal of the Secret Traitor came too soon, and the show then doubled down on that plot point – as you’ve already seen!

What else has The Traitors season 4 got in store for us?

You can watch the fourth season of The Traitors UK on BBC One every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 8pm. Episodes are also available to stream on BBC iPlayer, and the after-show, Uncloaked, airs immediately after on BBC One.
