THE Traitors’ Minah Shannon slammed a backstabbing co-star and ‘picked’ who she wants to win – following her shock exit from the BBC hit show.
Call centre manager Minah, 29, was selected by Claudia Winkleman to be a Traitor for the third series.

Viewers had backed her to win – and were stunned by her banishment in last night’s episode.
Taking to Instagram, Minah “reposted” stories about her elimination – seemingly revealing where she stands.
One read: “You did us proud my work wife @minahshannon.
“PS Charlotte you can honestly get in the bin.”
As the last remaining original Traitor, Minah recruited business director Charlotte Berman, 32, in episode eight.
Charlotte seemingly proved herself as a Faithful after attracting suspicion earlier in the series.
Despite Minah’s talk of a “sisterhood” among the Traitors, this ultimately wasn’t enough to save her.
Fearing she could be thrown under the bus, Charlotte soon planted seeds about her teammate to other players.
Charlotte, Freddie Fraser, Alexander Dragonetti and Franscesca Rowan-Plowden all voted to banish Minah from the game.
Another story Minah reposted called for former British Diplomat Alexander, 38, to be crowned the winner.
The story read: “The ultimate betrayal. RIP the ultimate traitor queen @minahshannon. Alexander for the win now pls xxx.”
Episode 10’s mission saw the remaining contestants play a life-sized game of chess, with a twist.
The night before, the Traitors answered questions about their competitors – which were crucial in the game.
If the players correctly identified who the Traitors picked, they would bank £2,000 for the prize fund.
However, this mission ultimately – and unknowingly – contributed to Minah’s downfall.
One of the questions was: “Whose voice is the most irrelevant?”
Interior designer Frankie put herself forward, although Charlotte -playing like a Faithful – also stepped up.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
As the other players favoured Charlotte, Minah remarked: “Sometimes the loudest person is the person listened to the least.”
This made Frankie suspicious of Minah trying to swing it back – and was later proven right.
With just six people remaining, who will claim victory in The Traitors series three?
The Traitors airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
