The Traitors struck again tonight (January 3), claiming another Faithful as Ben was murdered and removed from Ardross Castle – and the Secret Traitor twist came to a premature end.
But while Ben’s exit was shocking enough, it was Hugo’s very public – and very dramatic – reaction at breakfast that really got people talking and sealed his fate as the first Traitor to be exposed.

What did Hugo say on The Traitors tonight?
As the group gathered for breakfast and learned that Ben had been murdered, Traitor Rachel didn’t hide her frustration, declaring: “I’m raging.”
Fiona then began to speak, recalling a comment Ben had made the night before. “Ben last night said: ‘If I’m not here in the morning, look at…’ who?” she asked.
Before she could finish, Hugo jumped in and took control of the room. “Guys guys guys, before we do that, can we just have a moment. Because Ben, I was next to him yesterday and I was sweating a bit, but that senior gentleman gave absolutely everything. That was a tough mission. So whoever has done that is beyond mean.”
In the diary room, Rachel was clearly unimpressed. “Oh my god, why did he do that? When he literally commanded the room, that was a little bit too much,” she said.
Later, Harriet shared her growing suspicions with Rachel outside, vowing to challenge Hugo at the roundtable that evening.
