but eagle-eyed viewers had already predicted the outcome after an Uncloaked guest accidentally revealed a spoiler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\"

class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Despite Harriet publicly naming Rachel as a Traitor during Wednesday&#8217;s instalment, the scheming duo have managed to evade detection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Yet they&#8217;ve maintained their ruthless streak in targeting Faithfuls, with Essex builder Adam becoming their most recent casualty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Unfortunately, audiences watching at home were already aware the 34-year-old&#8217;s fate was sealed after singer La Voix posted a

the main show, featuring presenter Ed Gamble conducting interviews with celebrity contributors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Prior to the latest episode going live, the drag artist uploaded a TikTok clip, announcing: &#8220;Catch me tonight on Traitors: Uncloaked after the main episode with this gang.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">La Voix subsequently swept the camera across to fellow panellist Linda Rands, a Traitor from the previous series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The seemingly harmless footage was quickly condemned by viewers who noticed what seemed to be Adam&#8217;s portrait visible in the shot, with a red X marked through his face.<\/p>\n<p

Reddit to share: &#8220;La Voix is a guest on Uncloaked tonight and posted a TikTok earlier today with the cast pictures in the background and a big cross through someone&#8217;s picture. It&#8217;s a very quick shot but definitely a cross.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Quick to react, others identified Adam from the slightly blurred image.
