Drama is set to explode on Tuesday’s episode of The Traitors when Alex and Tom finally tell the rest of the group their big secret.
So far, Tom and Alex have been keeping their relationship under wraps, trying to get to know the other Traitors and figure out who’s been lying to them.
But, when Alex’s position in the group is under threat, Tom suddenly spills the truth.
And it looks pretty tense.
‘Guys straight up, this is a lot,’ he begins, telling everyone at breakfast: ‘Obviously we’ve got three people on the line here, I love you all, Alex isn’t a traitor straight up, she’s my girlfriend.’
As the rest of the group are left in shock over the secret unfolding, Tom continues: ‘We came in here as a couple, to try and find Traitors, we tried to come apart separately, hear different stories.
‘She is a Faithful 100 per cent, I am Faithful 100 per cent.’
Tom then goes on to try and convince the rest of the group that Ivan is actually the Traitor, while they all recover from the drama.
‘I thought you were trying to get with Alex,’ Maddy tells a shocked Matt.
‘You lied to us for three days!’ Rayan hits back at Tom.
Meanwhile, Wilf, who actually is a Traitor, can’t hold back his surprise at the revelation, but is still working to keep his own secret under wraps.
During last week’s first episode, when host Claudia Winkleman already dropped two contestants before the challenges had even begun, the contestants all got to know each other for the first time – or so we thought.
26-year-old actor Alex introduced herself to the camera: ‘To be honest, I’ve just come in here and I want to be myself, I think I’m a fun, nice person, I’d love to get involved.’
She then added: ‘I kind of want to be everyone’s friend, and I don’t want to get too close to anyone, because not only am I keeping the acting a secret, another a big secret I’m keeping is that my boyfriend is also in this game, Tom.
‘Yeah, we’re keeping that to ourselves,’ she said, as she flirted with Matt who all the contestants knew had ‘a massive crush’ on Alex.
Claudia’s new gameshow has brought us tears, arguments, and three secret Traitors, who are challenged with ‘murdering’ the remaining contestants, The Faithful.
Each night, The Traitors pick one contestant to eradicate from the game, while the next day the group have to vote to eliminate one person they think is hiding to be The Traitor.
As it stands, two contestants have been ‘murdered’, and two have been voted out, but none of The Traitors have been discovered.
Although we’ll have to wait and see if that changes soon…
The Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
