BBC The Traitors viewers in hysterics at 'world-class magician' Tom's terrible Traitor theories

BBC 's The Traitors' latest edition once again left viewers on the edge of their seats on Tuesday (December 6) night. The series, which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman, sees 22 contestants play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust. Hoping to win £120,000, the players trick each other, in order to avoid being 'murdered' by three traitors that sit among them.

During Tuesday's episode, there were tense scenes as Tom and Alex finally exposed their relationship. So far, the couple have withheld that they are a couple from the rest of the group. Tom told them: "We came in here as a couple, to try and find Traitors, we tried to come apart separately, hear different stories. She is a Faithful 100 per cent, I am Faithful 100 per cent."

After upsetting the group with the revelation, Tom tried to justify why he wasn't a traitor. He told them: "I've under-played it, 'I'm a magician', no - I'm one of the top magic creators in the world and I can read people. It's my job." He then summarized that he thought that Hannah and Ivan were the traitors because of their "body language".

Considering how Alyssa, Amanda and Wilfred are the real traitors, viewers shared their thoughts on Tom's predictions on social media. One person wrote: "used to like Tom, but can’t respect someone who’s soo cocky yet soo wrong." A second agreed, writing: "Tom sat in the middle of 2 traitors literally knowing they’re both traitors he’s deffo dead soon."

A third person commented on how Tom had continually brought up his job, adding: "Is Tom a magician? I don’t think he’s mentioned it yet." A fourth said: "Surely Tom isn't this much of a tool? He *has* to be some kind of plant to be so full of himself."

The Traitors continues on Wednesday, December 7, at 9pm. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
