Ellie has yet to reveal the relationship to her fellow contestants and told the camera: “What I’ve got to do now is avenge his death.”
During his exit interview, sales assistant Ross admitted that he thought his girlfriend was a traitor.
“Ellie was my safe space in the game,” he said. “However, I thought she was a traitor because every time we had a moment together she would not speak to me.”
The secret traitor reveal happened at the start of the episode as Fiona lifted the hood of her red cloak before turning to Stephen and Rachel, saying: “I was wonderful, wasn’t I?”
Fiona’s co-conspirators agreed that she’d done a “wonderful” job at deceiving the other players as she revealed her identity in the turret.
“Hollywood is beckoning. I can feel it,” she joked.
For the first time since the show’s launch in 2022, viewers were kept in the dark about the identity of a secret fourth traitor as part or a newly introduced twist.
The anonymity allowed viewers at home to play along for the first time, to see if they would fare any better than the faithful at spotting a traitor.
In a series of flashbacks from last week’s episodes, Winkleman was seen appointing Fiona, with the contestant responding: “I will do my best to be as treacherous as possible”, adding she was “drunk on power”.
