Famous Traitors returned on Thursday night and a star was brutally murdered by the Traitors in the opening minutes.

Alan added: ‘Yes, let’s get rid of it quickly before we poison everyone.’

Entering her room to find the letter that killed her, Ruth said: ‘I knew this was coming’ before joking: ‘Jonathan and Kate Garraway are traitors!’
