*Warning: Contains major spoilers for The Traitors Series 3, Episode 1*. After a year-long wait, a third series of the BBC's hit game show The Traitors returned to TV screens and viewers were not left disappointed. The third season kicked off at 8pm on New Year's Day (January 1), and introduced viewers to 25 contestants all hoping to make it to the stunning Ardross Castle and begin their The Traitors journey. However, it didn't take long for the group to be subjected to a major twist before they had even made it to the venue, and it was the most brutal the show has ever seen.
In a shocking moment that came just minutes into the episode, the train carrying the contestants came to a halt and started heading backwards. The voice of the show's host Claudia Winkleman then played over the tannoy, announcing that the contestants would have to oust three people from the train - one from each carriage - in order to progress on the show.
"I'm gifting you £10,000 right now to start your prize pot," she began. "But as you know, in this game everything comes at a price.". She explained: "Right now there are 25 passengers on this train, but there are only 22 spaces in the game so for three of you, your journey is now over. One person from each carriage will have to disembark the train before the game can start. It's up to you to decide who that will be.".
