A third, meanwhile, added: "A murder in plain sight??! I cannot wait #TheTraitors," as a fourth was eager to share their theory on how the twist might play out, tweeting: "Murder in plain sight - a faithful get their letter and quietly leaves…

"Not allowed to clutch their throat and scream 'Aaagggh I’ve been murdered by Wi…' So it'll be easy to hand out the letter directly when everyone is distracted #TheTraitors I soooo want to play!"

Elsewhere in episode seven, following Alyssa's murder in episode six, Wilfred and Amanda were left pondering their next move. The remaining two Traitors decided to strengthen their hand and attempt to recruit a Faithful, choosing Alex in the process.

The Traitors will have to murder a Faithful in plain sight

But, although Alex wasn't told who in specific she was being recruited by, she "politely declined" the Traitors' offer and decided to remain a Faithful – a decision that disappointed the remaining Traitors.

Wilfred and Amanda were then left with the choice of murdering either Amanda or Amos, and their decision will be revealed in episode eight.

The Traitors continues on Thursday 15 December at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
