Who left The Traitors? All murdered and banished contestants

Over the last 11 episodes, we have said goodbye to 20 contestants - some Faithfuls and some Traitors - and it has all come down to the final five, and only time will tell if they manage to sniff out the final Traitor who stands among them.

However, with the latest twist, it might be just that much easier to guess who has been working against them...

So, who's gone from the castle? Read on to find out who has been eliminated from the show so far and how.

Who has been murdered or banished from The Traitors season 3 so far?

Freddie - Banished in episode 11

Poor Freddie, he wasn't even a Traitor for 24 hours before he was banished! After being double-crossed by Charlotte and attempting to murder Leanne, the pair were unlucky in the end, which led all fingers to be pointed at Freddie.

Unfortunately, the pressure of being a Traitor became all too much for Freddie as he slipped up when lying about how he supposedly knew Leanne had a shield.

Asked how it felt to be leaving the competition at this point, Freddie said: "I actually feel alright! I always said coming into the competition, if I make the final 10, I’ve reached my goal. I was really chuffed that I got further than that and I think I did myself justice.

"The worst part is that I had to stand up there and say that I was a Traitor, even though it had only been a day!"

Minah - Banished in episode 10

Minah, our Queen Traitor, was banished during last night's (Wednesday 23rd January) roundtable.

Minah had been a Traitor from day one, but was forced to leave the castle after fellow Traitor Charlotte – who she had recruited in her quest to beat the Faithfuls in a recent episode – turned on her and voted for her to leave.

Upon her exit, she dropped a hint that could help Faithfuls uncover Charlotte's Traitor identity in future episodes. "I am, and have been from the start, a Traitor," she said.

Joe - 'Murdered' in episode 10

Joe was the latest Faithful to get the axe during Wednesday's episode.

After Charlotte and Leanne arrived into the breakfast room, the remaining Faithful realised that Joe was the latest contestant to be 'murdered'.

Host Claudia entered and said: “I loved Joe – what are we going to do?”

Leon - Banished in episode 9

Despite being among the most popular faithful for much of The Traitors UK season 3, suspicions continued to rise against Leon in recent episodes, with doubts even among his firm allies Joe and Leanne.

Additionally, as Leon informed Leanne about remarks Francesca had made about her but with a harsher tone, Francesca accused him of pushing a narrative against her and events at the roundtable continued to spiral.

The Traitors were severely divided on whether to back Leon or Francesca, but the deciding vote rested with Freddie, who revealed he had voted to eliminate Leon too.

Ultimately, Leon announced he was a faithful, upsetting friend Leanne especially, but leaving the faithful more determined to catch out a traitor next time.

Lisa - 'Murdered' in episode 9

Alas, our lovely Anglican priest Lisa did not survive the cliffhanger of the previous episode as Minah and Charlotte chose to 'murder' her.

Having righteously convinced everyone that she was faithful and having voiced suspicions of both Minah and Charlotte, it seemed that Lisa was continually signing her own death warrant.

Lisa had likely remained so long in the game for her sheer trust in eliminated traitor Linda but it became clear she would not be easily swayed against other faithfuls.

It was an emotional farewell to one lovely player!

Alex - Banished in episode 8

As the players returned to the roundtable, all fingers were pointed at Alex following a comment he made that suggested Linda had never thrown another Traitor under the bus.

Alex's attempts to defend himself didn't work and with eight votes, he was banished from the castle.

Addressing the remaining Players, he said: "I would like to say thank you to everybody in this room. I have had the best time of my life, and met the most amazing and wonderful people, every single one of you is absolutely amazing, and I wish you all the best of luck. I am a Faithful."

For Alex, he felt leaving "came exactly at the right time".

"It was such a bizarre situation," he explained. "So many things had happened, and I was so aware how guilty people thought I was, that the moment of vindication that I got from being able to stand up in front of everybody and say, I'm a Faithful was worth more than any money, and I sincerely mean that…I think! I was so ready to get out of there, and I was so ready to prove my innocence."

Anna - 'Murdered' in episode 8

Charlotte took to her new position as Traitor very quickly and decided, alongside Minah, who to target for murder.

The following morning, the Faithful were shocked to find out that Anna had been murdered, filling them with a sense of determination to banish a Traitor that same night.

Asked how it felt to be leaving at this point in the game, Anna said: "I think the game was so much fun to play and every single day I woke up just dying to get back to the castle and play the game.

"I had a bit of a fear of speaking at the roundtable, so I was really sad to go when I did because I felt like I'd finally got my power back and I was playing really fearlessly at the point when I left. Of course I was sad to leave, but you have to go sometime, it's just a game at the end of the day!"

Linda - Banished in episode 7

After arousing suspicion among the Faithfuls for far too long, Linda received the most votes at the roundtable and was banished, with fellow Traitor Minah joining in on the votes.

Leaving the roundtable, Linda addressed her fellow players, and said: "Guys, I’ve had the most amazing time, this has been the pinnacle of my life – and to experience this at my age and get this far, I’ve had a whale of a time, so thanks for it! I am a Traitor."

Fozia - 'Murdered' in episode 7

After just a couple of days back in the game, Fozia was murdered in The Traitors. During the 'Death Match', it was between Fozia and Leon as they drew cards to see who could stay in the game another day. Unfortunately for Fozia, Leon drew the life card first and thus, she was murdered by order of the Traitors.

Fozia admitted she felt "disappointed" to be exiting as she didn't feel she left during a game that was based on skill.

"It was a game of chance, and it could have been any one of us that night," she said. "I wonder, why us four? Is it because we were confident and strong players? Is it because we were a bit more vocal? I actually didn't mind leaving with the three people I was up against because they were all very good."

Dan – Banished in episode 6

Status: Faithful

Dan wasn't a player who had faced too much scrutiny around the roundtable before episode 6, but that all changed when it was revealed he had been dishonest about "marking" players during the episode's mission.

That turned several of his closes allies against him, with Traitor Minah also playing a crucial role in bringing about his banishment.

On revealing that he was in fact a faithful, he told his fellow players: "Guys, just remember we've all only known each other for a couple of weeks. Don't take things too personally, it's just a game. This has been an absolute pleasure and I've had a fantastic time.

Livi – 'Murdered' in episode 6

Status: Faithful

Livi became the latest player murdered by Minah and Linda at the start of episode 6, after they chose her as their victim over Fozia and Anna.

"I know you're close with Livi, but would that add to the theory that Freddie is actually a Traitor?" Minah asked Linda, who agreed it was a good idea and added: "I love Livi, but we're here to win."

Meanwhile, on receiving the letter informing her of her murder, Livi seemed convinced who had been behind her demise. "Freddie is definitely a Traitor," she said. "He's probably telling them right now 'I've been set up'."

She added: "I've had such a good time in here, but I knew it was going to happen."

Tyler - Banished in episode 5

Status: Faithful

Tyler was the latest player to get banished at the roundtable after Freddie planted a seed of doubt about him during Thursday's episode.

After receiving votes from some of his closest friends, Tyler prepared to go home and revealed he was indeed a Faithful - leaving his fellow contestants heartbroken.

He told his co-stars: "I just want to say I love all of you, it's just a game. So keep going and smash it, I love you. I am Faithful."

Kasim - Banished in episode 4

Status: Faithful

It had been quite a lonely time for Kasim in the castle after a number of players turned on him, suspecting him to be a Traitor, when he was a Faithful all along.

At the roundtable, the most players voted for Kasim, and were certainly shocked when they found out he was indeed a Faithful.

"I definitely have mixed emotions," Kasim said of leaving the game. "From about the second roundtable, I realised that it would be really difficult to win, because I was under so much suspicion. I really tried to focus on enjoying the experience and being as useful as I could be to the team, and make sure that whoever does get the money gets a good amount. "

Jack - Eliminated in episode 4

Status: Faithful

In a shock twist to the game, three of the former eliminated contestants made their way back to the game, but as this is The Traitors, only two could be saved.

During the players' next mission, they were greeted by Jack, Fozia and Alexander who were hanging in cages above the ground. In order to lower them, the players had to find coins hidden in sacks and put them in a collector connected to a cage - adding money to the prize pot, but also helping lower the cage and the person in it, but there weren't enough coins to lower all three players.

Therefore, Jack remained in his cage and had to leave the game. He said of his exit: "It's been one big wake-up call to how brutal The Traitors can be."

Maia - 'Murdered' in episode 4

Status: Faithful

Following her older sister's exit from the castle, the remaining Traitors made the decision to be rid of both sisters in the same night! As darkness fell in the turret, Linda and Minah murdered Maia, leading the Faithful to suspect Freddie.

Maia admitted she felt "gutted" to be leaving the game. "When I saw that letter, I just thought, 'You're evil, you made me betray my sister' and then, wow, I'm dead the next day," she said.

"I feel bad for Freddie, I started screaming his name saying, 'I know it's you!'"

Armani - Banished in episode 3

Status: Traitor

Armani became the first Traitor to be banished from the season as the rest of the Faithful grew suspicious and cast nine votes.

Upon her departure she said: "I have had the best time, I would not have chosen to be any different because it’s genuinely just who I am, genuinely so grateful for the time, you guys are all amazing, I love you all…I am a Traitor."

Reflecting on leaving the show at this point, Armani admitted she was "so sure" of herself going in there and perhaps was "too sure" at times.

She added: "As I left, I couldn't help but think it was great, it was a fun time and I really liked everyone. I was very calm throughout the whole process, a lot more than I thought I would be, I think because I wasn't a Faithful, I didn't have the constant nagging in the back of my mind and anxiety about who I could trust. The game is really serious and intense, but it's also important to just enjoy yourself."

Elen – Banished in episode 2

Status: Faithful

It was time for yet another round table, and all eyes were on Elen after she stated she believed the Traitors included at least one strong woman, and voted for Linda.

But this backfired and she was banished with nine votes, before revealing to the others she was indeed a Faithful.

Asked how it felt to be leaving at this point of the game, Elen said: "Mixed feelings. I was gutted in terms of the prize money. However, I do think it was the time for me to go.

"I really trust the universe when it comes to things like this. I think the universe wanted me to experience this amazing opportunity. However, only for a few days."

Keith – 'Murdered' in episode 2

Status: Faithful

The Traitors once again retreated to the turret and the fate of one Faithful was sealed and it was none other than Keith. As the players gathered for breakfast the following morning, it was revealed that Keith has been murdered by the Traitors.

Keith admitted he felt "sad" to be leaving so early in the game, saying in an interview: "I wanted to be in a bit longer as it was such an exciting game to play. I wish I stayed a little bit longer."

Nathan – Banished in episode 2

Status: Faithful

Following the cliffhanger of episode 1's round table, it was revealed that Nathan was banished from the castle with eight votes. However, he was a Faithful all along.

Reflecting on how it felt to be leaving so early in the game, Nathan said: "The game was so hard, people think it's easy but there’s so much going on and so many dynamics. I was absolutely gutted to leave but it was my time!

"I don't dwell on things for very long and I don't get upset. I take it on the chin, learn from it and become stronger from it. Obviously, I'd love to have done just a little bit more to experience the game, but my time is my time."

Yin – 'Murdered' in episode 1

Status: Faithful

Yin's time in the castle was up after the Traitors made the decision to 'murder' Yin, with her intelligence playing a key factor in their reasoning.

As Yin found out her verdict, she said: "My God that was fast! I had this whole narrative planned. This is chapter one but really this is the end, but I have enjoyed every demi, semi quaver of this experience so far, as short as it has been.

"It's like a mayfly or a lunar moth which is a famous moth that lives for only day but shines very brightly and then is extinguished for evermore."

The Traitors continues Wednesdays to Fridays at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
