Last night viewers were on the edge of their seats during the latest nail-biting instalment of the psychological BBC show, The Traitors.
In the end It was decided by the Traitors that Scots actor John McManus would be murdered, meaning that the 49-year-old was automatically eliminated from the process.
Speaking about leaving the show, John said: "I was popular. People liked me. So maybe it was, you know, a target on my back, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
The remaining contestants were completely shocked by the decision that was made by the undercover traitors. They toasted to John's time in the competition, with traitor Amanda saying: "Whatever everyone does think of John, he was a big part of all of us."
He also shared a post on Instagram, writing: "So last night I was murdered on #thetraitors never thought I’d say that on social media ! I had an absolute amazing time on the show and I adore and love everyone thank you all @claudiawinkle @bbciplayer @bbcone @studiolambert keep watching #beingmurdered #itsjustagame #weareallfriends #itsallintheediting #professionalactor #takeeverythingwithapinchofsalt #keepwatching #hadthebesttime #actorslife #doubleshowday #backinthetheatre."
