The Traitors announces brutal twist following a shock axing

THE Traitors stunned fans as it aired a shocking show-changing twist at the end of the latest episode.

As Wilfred brutally turned on his fellow traitor Amanda he was given a shock ultimatum by the show's host Claudia Winkleman.

With him being the only remaining traitor in the game, Claudia told Wilfred that he would now be forced to recruit a player face-to-face and if they rejected his offer to be a traitor then they would be murdered on the spot.

Claudia told him: "You are going to choose a faithful, you are going to send them this note and you will have a secret face-to-face meeting with them and you will give them an ultimatum.

"Either join you and become a traitor or get murdered."

She then revealed that should the new recruit accept then the pair would return to the castle grounds and murder as usual but if they do not, they will forfeit themselves.

Wilfred decided that he would like to recruit Kieran to become a traitor.

He said: "He's intelligent, he's a strong person and he's clearly shown to me today that he can make other people's opinions change."

He also added he needed to recruit another man as he knew there would not be three female traitors and admitted that he would rather his fellow players target Kieran instead of himself.

Kieran was later handed a piece of paper which read: "Your presence is required at a secret meeting, please make your way to the firepit immediately."

A stunned Kieran admitted: "I don't know if this is good news or bad news."

The episode ended on a cliffhanger as Wilfred's meeting with Kieran was teased for all to see.
