The Traitors season 2 launched on Wednesday night and introduced 22 new contestants hoping to win the £120,000 prize.
Last night Harry, Ash and Paul won a squeeze on the shoulder from host Claudia Winkleman, marking them as traitors within the group.
Diane, Andrew, Miles and Sonia, were also selected as "potential traitors", with viewers finding out in episode 2 who has been picked to play the fourth rotter.
The action returned to Ardross Castle near Inverness, but there were several notable changes from last year.

The show began with Claudia asking the contestants to line up with the people most likely to win one end, and those least likely to win at the other.
They were terrified because, at the start of the 2022 show, two people at one end of the line were immediately sent home, but in this case the producers were just taunting them and after lining up they were all allowed into the castle.
Claudia also asked each of the contestants, one-on-one, whether they actually wanted to be a traitor or a faithful before the selection process began.
Ranging in age from 21 to 67, they include a chess player, two vets, a pair of military men, a clairvoyant and a disability model.
The game of deceit and loyalty sees them battle to rack up a cash jackpot of up to £120,000 through a series of tasks performed in teams.
But the secret traitors can one by one “murder” the faithfuls by selecting then sending them home in the middle of the night.
The remaining faithful only find out who’s gone the next day at breakfast and it’s up to them to determine who the traitors are and get rid of them before they can claim the cash for themselves.
Viewers watched as the team secured £15,000 for the prize pot.
Claudia revealed amongst the missions will be hidden shields which once collected, would protect the player from murder that evening, but not banishment.
