*Contains spoilers*
Ok, if you're anything like us, you need to talk about the latest happenings on The Traitors UK. Already this season has given us all the emotions (we've seen more tears than ever), rivalries, false alliances and plenty of backstabbing.
But last night (Wednesday's) episode really threw a spanner in the works, when new (ish) Traitor recruit Charlotte Berman threw old time Traitor Minah Shannon under the bus by voting for her in the final roundtable. This shocking twist meant that Minah went home, and Charlotte escaped unscathed - and potentially quelling any suspicion around her. ‘You take them under your wing and they do you dirty,’ said a shocked Minah after she left the show.
With the prospect of the £120,000 cash prize now in sight, it's all to play for. We've got another two days to wait until we find out whether the Faithfuls can put two and two together to oust Charlotte and her new recruit, Freddie.
But in the meantime, here's our predictions of how that all-important final could unravel...
Who is left in The Traitors UK?
Six contestants remain in The Traitors UK. These are Traitors Charlotte and Freddie Fraser, and Faithfuls Jake Brown, Leanne Quigley, Alexander Dragonetti and Francesca Rowan-Plowden.
One Traitor who is guaranteed a spot in the final (provided no further twists come our way...) is Leanne. This is because she secured the all-important shield in Wednesday's episode, meaning she's immune from being banished - even if the Traitors attempt to murder her (more on that later...)
What is Charlotte's game plan on The Traitors UK?
Since being recruited as a Traitor, it seems Charlotte is playing a tactical, albeit dangerous, game. She entered the show putting on a fake Welsh accent, because it is deemed the most 'trustworthy'. Then, when recruited as a Traitor, she made no secret of her willingness to throw Minah under the bus if needed. Wednesday's episode confirmed she really is a master manipulator, after she voted Minah out. Yep, in Charlotte's world 'the sisterhood' doesn't exist.
In her latest strategic move, Charlotte recruited Freddie, who has been suspected of being a Traitor several times before, to help her reach the final. If the Faithfuls follow through with their old theory that Freddie is a Traitor, it will put Charlotte in a strong position. However, if they choose to pursue someone who has been 'under the radar', Charlotte could risk being found out.
Did Minah hint that Charlotte is a Traitor on Traitors UK?
Charlotte is playing a good game, but she might not be as safe as everybody thinks. Some fans think that Minah dropped a vital hint as to who the last Traitor is on Wednesday's episode, to help the Faithfuls oust Charlotte. When she revealed her identity as she was banished, Minah said: 'I am, and have been from the start, a Traitor’ – leading some fans to suspect she was hinting there is a recruited Traitor hiding in plain sight. Faithfuls Jake and Leanne even picked up on this, and discussed it afterwards.
‘Did Minah just drop a bit of a clue with the ‘have been from the start’ – indicating that there definitely is a recruiter Traitor left,’ asked one user on X.
Could Freddie win The Traitors UK?
Yes, if he plays his cards right, according to some fans. Leanne is one of the options put forward to be murdered, as per Charlotte's plan. Leanne has the shield, meaning she can't actually be banished from the castle, but the only people who don't know that are Freddie and Alexander. This means that when she comes into breakfast unscathed, all eyes will point at them. 'This thought about Leanne is next level because if Freddie is on board it makes him look guilty and it will get me into the final and get me the glory,' said Charlotte.
However, some fans think Charlotte has shot herself in the foot, because Leanne might have confessed to the others that she has the shield, too.
'Charlotte has made a massive mistake there if they do go for Leanne. Cause Leanne is gonna own up about the shield at breakfast and Freddie is gonna know that Charlotte was lying instantly. Reckon he could easily spin that ‘all female narrative,’ said one user on X.
'Charlotte’s strategy for ‘murdering’ Leanne is interesting, but what happens at Breakfast when Leanne reveals exactly who she told about the shield? Then Freddie knows he’s been stitched up immediately. That’s a dangerous play,' observed another.

What is the twist in The Traitors UK final?
We don't know for sure what the final twist will be, but speculation is already flying. Paul Gorton, who is known for appearing on the second series of The Traitors UK, recently took to X to share his predictions for the final twist.
'MASSIVE week coming. What's the biggest turns and twists you think could happen? Here's mine – no Traitors final…' he wrote. When asked to elaborate, Paul said he believes the final fire pit ceremony will see no Traitors taking part. 'That's what I mean, the fire pit.. if it is a fire pit this year. With the none reveal it could be a bloodbath!' he wrote.
Of course, this follows the big twist that's already been teased at the start of the season, when Claudia Winkleman revealed that in the final round of the show, players who had been banished will not be allowed to reveal whether or not they were Traitors or Faithful.
