The Traitors fans are saying that they’ve ‘worked out’ how the BBC series’ spin-off Uncloaked is ‘spoiling’ the programme after spotting what they called an ‘obvious pattern’.
Things are heating up in the Scottish Highlands, with the Claudia Winkleman show’s fourth season reaching its halfway point on Friday night (January 9). Just hours after surviving the ‘chests of chance’, faithful Reece Ward was murdered by the traitors.
It proved to be a rough night for traitors Fiona Hughes, Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby. Prior to them becoming a trio, Fiona had the power of nominating who they had to murder.
Viewers were stunned earlier in the week, when Fiona turned on Rachel as she accused her of lying about ousted Amanda Collier being a former detective. Fiona was adamant that she would have been told this information as her family have lots of history in the police force.
The round table saw the majority of faithfuls and Stephen taking Rachel’s side, bringing an end to Fiona’s time in the Scottish Highlands as she confirmed that she was a traitor all along to her co-stars.
In spite of the dramatic moment, the tension immediately cranked up when faithful Matt secured a meeting with Stephen and Rachel, whose identities were hidden as they stayed in a confessions booth.
Matt proceeded to ask them to murder Jessie and skip the following murder and recruit him to join them in the turret. The result of the brutal cliffhanger won’t be revealed until the next episode on Wednesday (January 14).

While part of the fun of watching The Traitors is not knowing what’s going to happen next, some fans have cracked how Uncloaked may have been spoiling the series all along. Presented by comedian Ed Gamble, the show features those eliminated talking about how the series is going along with a host of special guests.
Following Fiona’s exit, Ed was joined by Celebrity Traitors star Charlotte Church and series one’s Amanda, both of whom are Welsh like Fiona. Since their appearance was confirmed the night prior, many are now noticing that the guest announcements may always be linked to the latest exits.

“They have themed guests, and the pattern is too obvious. For example, Mark was on last night after Amanda got banished by chance, because he was banished by chance too. The other guest was Fozia, murdered face to face… just like Maz.
“I knew Fiona would go tonight when I saw the guests were two ex Welsh contestants and a Welsh traitor. They had that secret couple on last week, when the other secret relationship was revealed, too. It’s crazy to me that such a well sealed show is putting results up there in plain sight?!”
Replying to the tweet, @@JillMansell wrote: “Really wish I hadn’t read this!” @RealGeoffBarton posted: “Agreed. Not subtle.”
@TheCyberdevil commented: “Yes. I spotted this. It’s giving the game away. They need to keep the identity of the Uncloaked guests a secret until broadcast.” @Wheezypops4672 stated: “Completely agree! I don’t watch it because I’m scared someone will say something by accident that will give something away. I noticed the Welsh link tonight but hadn’t realised they said who was on next or had a line up.”
