THE Traitors’ Freddie was left sobbing into a tissue after he was targeted by his co-stars in a very brutal Round Table.
The Faithful, 20, had to be comforted by his fellow contestants as he broke down in tears following the tense exchange.

The politics student had found a number of fingers pointing at him for being a Traitor – and one, he said, was “a dagger to the heart”.
Four of Freddie’s opponents wrongly voted for him at the Round Table after accusing him of ‘murdering’ full-time mum Maia, 25.
And although he escaped being sent home, with Faithful Kas being give the boot, Freddie was left devastated.
He said: “I feel like I’m getting set up here, but of course I’m going to say that.
“You guys can just believe what you want. I’m not going to beg for anyone.
As he left the Round Table room, Freddie burst into tears and had to be comforted by Linda, 70.
The retired opera singer put her arm around him and exclaimed: “Oh, babe!”
Frankie blubbed: “Now everyone’s just making this… [inaudible]…up.”
Linda led him to the bar and told him: “Bless you. Have a drink. Come on.”
Although he is an innocent Faithful, Freddie received votes from Livi, Kasim (Kas), Frankie (Francesca) and Leanne during Wednesday night’s episode of the BBC show.
Frankie, 44, was quick to comfort Freddie when she saw him crying as he entered the bar, despite her accusation minutes earlier that he was a Traitor.
Speaking off camera, Freddie said: “Seeing Frankie vote for me… that one felt like a knife through the heart.
“Frankie’s like a mum to me in here, so it was really upsetting.”
He added: “It’s just horrible when you feel like everyone’s talking about you and everyone’s attacking you.
“It’s a bit upsetting but, I mean, it is what it is.”
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
Interior designer Frankie was seen vigorously rubbing Freddie’s back as he cried in her arms in the bar.
However, she then told him: “It’s just a game.”
Meanwhile, Wednesday night’s instalment of The Traitors featured a shock twist.
Three former contestants made a dramatic comeback after initially being booted off within the opening moments of the series.
Fozia, Jack and Alexander had been sent packing after seemingly sacrificing themselves, but they reappeared in giant wooden crates suspended in the sky on Wednesday.
The current contestants had the chance to win two back with a coin-based game – and Fozia and Alexander were saved.
Jack was, once again, eliminated from The Traitors thanks to the savage twist.
The Traitors continues 9pm, BBC One, Tonight (January 9, 2025).
