TRAITORS DRAMA
Banished Traitors star breaks their silence after savage axe and reveals huge regret following explosive episode
The call centre boss, 29, had survived ten episodes as a Traitor
THE Traitors’ villain Minah Shannon was betrayed by fellow baddie Charlotte Berman tonight — then admitted she should have acted first.
She was booted off the BBC One show — with Charlotte’s vote against her helping to seal her fate.

Minah later said: “If I could go back, I would have thrown Charlotte under the bus.”
The call centre boss, 29, had survived ten episodes as a Traitor after being picked in the series opener by host Claudia Winkleman.
She had recruited Charlotte, 33, from the Faithful ranks last week.
But the business director went rogue by siding with other players to banish Minah at the round table.

Minah added of her approach: “I should have put gameplay mode on, and I think — had I put any feelings and emotions aside — I may still have been there.”
Charlotte said: “I hope Minah will forgive me. I just was trying to think about my own self-preservation.”
She has since brought in politics student Freddie Fraser, 20, as a new Traitor, and admitted she is eyeing up another back-stabbing.
She said: “I chose Freddie in order to protect myself in the long term, so basically I’ve already gone against him. I have gone to the dark side now.”
