The Traitors has left fans on the edge of their seats, convinced that a hidden twist is yet to be revealed after three contestants were eliminated just minutes into the new BBC series.Broadcasted on January 1, the hit gameshow returned for its third season with Claudia Winkleman back in her role as the host.

Viewers were introduced to 25 stars who are set to compete for up to £120,000 in this game of betrayal.However, as the contestants were en route to the Scottish Highlands, where the series is filmed, their train came to an abrupt stop and Claudia announced that each of the three carriages had ten minutes to sacrifice one member of the group in order to win £10,000.Taken aback by the shocking twist, the group struggled to decide on a method of eviction, resulting in three contestants volunteering for the sacrifice.

In the end, they managed to secure £7,000 for the final prize pot, although they lost £3,000 due to their three-minute decision time, reports Wales Online.

Among the stars axed in the first episode was Alexander, a former British diplomat from London. He left alongside Fozia, a community development manager from Birmingham and Jack, a landscaper from Yorkshire.Despite voluntarily stepping off the train, the trio were holding out hope that their forfeit was worth something.
