BBC The Traitors fans declare they're 'out' minutes into show

The Traitors viewers declared they're "out" minutes into today's show.

The BBC programme premiered tonight and is hosted by Claudia Winkleman. The show sees 22 strangers grouped together at a mansion in the Scottish countryside.

The team must work together to complete challenges as they aim to win a £120,000 cash haul. However, there is a twist to the game as Claudia selected a group of players to be traitors.

The players must decide who they can trust as they work out who is the traitor and banish them from the game. However, some viewers following the show on Twitter had seen enough moments into the show after the host had explained the format.

Steve said: "20 minutes in, loads of loud, shouty, wannabes. Can't stand anymore. I'm out."

Mel posted: "Two minutes into #TheTraitors and in the words of @DeborahMeaden “I’m out!”"

Popcornisamazing posted: "Five minutes in to #TheTraitors and I'm already questioning why the show exists."

Claudia selected her team of traitors on camera and fans were confused why the show revealed the motives of each player.

AJ said: "I mean, surely telling us who the traitors are has ruined the excitement now?"

Kyle posted: "Why have they showed us who the traitors are"

B list added: "Nooo I didn’t want to find out who they are! I wanted to work it out"

Sharon commented: "Not sure I want to know who the traitors are?! I wanted to guess along with everyone else"

However, other fans praised the new format. Noddy said: "I’m already obsessed with #TheTraitors and @ClaudiaWinkle is perfect for to host."

Will said: "This show is amazing already I'm OBSESSED with that twist"

Jazzi added: "This whole show is intense Claudia is actually a great host for it!"

Mark posted : "Two great twists in the first 15 minutes yes please"
