BBC's The Traitors down to final five as another two faithfuls are dumped from castle

Tensions are running high as BBC's The Traitors is down to the final five contestants after two faithfuls were axed in tonight's episode.

From the beginning of the latest instalment, viewers were left on the edge of their seats as they waited to see who was eliminated through the night.

After Traitor Amanda being dumped in the previous episode, this meant that Traitor Wilfred was the last remaining and he was given the chance to recruit by host Claudia Winkleman.

Wilfred opted to pick Kieran Tompsett to join him, however, Kieran was given an ultimatum to become a Traitor with him or be eliminated that night, but he decided to accept the offer and moved secretly over to the dark side.

The first task of Wilfred and the new Traitor was to 'murder' - essentially eliminate from the show - another faithful and it was Andrea Addison who the pair picked, meaning she didn't appear at breakfast the next day.

Tensions were extremely high throughout the day, with many names being thrown around in discussions as to who was the last remaining Traitor, but when it came to the round table, it was Maddy Smedley who was dumped from the Scottish castle.

Maddy declared that she was a faithful which left the rest with their heads in their hands.

Maddy's exit means that Traitors Wilfred Webster, Kieran Tompsett are in the chance of stealing the prize money from Faithfuls Aaron Evans, Hannah Byczkowski, Meryl Williams.

And viewers flocked to social media to discuss the result.

One wrote: "Amanda, Maddy and Andrea in 24 hours. Gutted."

While one said: "Maddy, Andrea and Amanda in 24 hours this is not it."

Another wrote: "No way Maddy deserved to go."

During tomorrow night's finale, host Claudia Winkleman will give the five finalists one last chance to add to the prize pot with a challenge that sees the contestants jumping out of helicopters.

If Traitors Wilfred and Kieran can convince the group they're Faithfuls they will take home the cash.

But if Hannah, Aaron and Meryl can expose them, then they will split the prize pot between them.

Axed contestant Andrea spoke to the Daily Star about her time in the Scottish castle.

She said: "I would have loved to have stayed until the end, so near and yet so far. I was gutted and by the end I really did think I just might get there but not to be."

Andrea then said that as soon as Amanda was exposed as a Traitor it became "absolutely obvious" to her that the other one was Wilfred.

She said: "Once it was Amanda, then it was absolutely obvious who it is. If you think about it. You're not going to have three women, it's not Macbeth, you're not going to have two estate agents and Kieran wasn't there all the time so who's life, My Wilf."

The next episode airs tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC One.
