The Traitors fans brand Paul a ‘psychopath’ and ‘best Traitor yet’ as he throws teammate Ash under the bus during ‘Oscar worthy’ round table

Ash became the first Traitor to be sent home when she was betrayed by her fellow teammates Paul and Harry in Wednesday’s brutal episode of The Traitors. 

Fans branded Paul, 36, a ‘psychopath’ and the ‘best Traitor yet’ as he threw Ash, 45, under the bus during the tense round table.

Breaking down in tears when challenged by the Faithful’s the business manager claimed he ‘missed his family’ and ‘wouldn’t mind going home’ in an act which viewers of the show claimed was ‘Oscar worthy.’

At the round table, the contestants confronted people who they thought were the Traitors who were ‘murdering’ players each night in a bid to win the prize money for themselves.

When Ash’s name was put forward she was forced to defend herself, but failed to persuade the others as more Faithfuls began to suspect her.

Traitor’s Paul and Harry, 22, then joined forces and voted for the events coordinator to be eliminated in a savage betrayal after she had ‘poorly performed’. 

Speaking to the camera ahead of the meeting, Paul explained: ‘This plan, if executed well could be effective.’ 

When it was his turned to face questions he then broke down in floods of fake tears and said: ‘I’m thinking about my little boy at home and I’m kind of ready to go.

‘I think it’s the people that are quieter, not the confident ones that could be potential Traitors.’ 

Sharing his thoughts, Andrew responded: ‘100% I think Paul is a faithful. I think the Traitors have got us going in ones and twos.’

Ash added to the camera : ‘I thought they [Paul, Harry and Miles] would be above ground trying to steer the conversation away from me and they are totally throwing me under the bus!’ 

And Paul’s plan seemingly worked when Ash received the most votes from the Faithful’s, meaning she would be voted out. 

Miles was the only Traitor not to vote for Ash as he put Brian’s name down in a bid to avert suspicion.
