Who has left The Traitors so far? Who has been murdered or banished in series three of BBC reality TV show

As we have come to expect from The Traitors, series three has had its fair share of twists, turns and shock departures. In the very first episode we saw three contestants leave before even reaching the famous castle grounds, only for them to return locked in cages in the woods.

We’ve also seen the return of Claudia Winkleman’s cosy, countryside wardrobe and taken interior design inspiration from the moody elegance of the Ardross Castle interiors. Could we possibly ask for more from the BBC’s smash hit reality TV series?

Well, even if we didn’t ask, they have brought it, with sisters pitted against one another, one a traitor and the other a faithful, a Londoner affecting a fake Welsh accent to appear more trustworthy and an army veteran posing as a nail technician.

There are sure to be more surprises heading the remaining contestants way but we’ll just have to keep watching to find out exactly what they will be. In the meantime, here’s a reminder of the murders and banishments which have already taken place and who’s still left in the running to walk away with the prize pot.
