The Traitors star Fay Greaves has slammed the beloved BBC show as she pointed out an obvious show blunder.
The reality series returned with a bang at the start of the year, with Claudia Winkleman welcoming 22 new contestants ready to put their detective skills to the test to unmask the four new traitors. The adrenaline-pumping show is the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust as players battle it out to win £120,000.
This series Harry, Ash, Paul and Miles were the sneaky foursome slowly killing off suspicious players in the house without being sniffed out. One major change the reality show has implemented is the use of protective shields which contestants can compete for in their daily challenge.

Over the past few days, Traitors Harry and Paul have been lucky enough to grab the protective shields and found out the identities of the remaining Faithfuls who are protected. Now, former contestant Fay has sat down exclusively with Daily Star to share her concerns about the major error surrounding the new twist.

She told us: “For me the shield was a powerful item because it protected you from the Traitors, but people are winning the shields in the competitions now. I’m undecided about the shields being so public.
“How I see it is your friends are watching you go for that shield when you should probably be doing the mission and that sets a bit of negativity. Because they’re gonna think, ‘Hang on a minute, you should have been helping us out rather than getting the shield’.
“So that animosity can be there straight away and it stirs things up. And then also I wonder what that will do at the round table because people might think, ‘We’re gonna go for this person because they betrayed us.’

“And it might not have anything to do with them being a Traitor but just because they resent them for getting the shield.” She pointed out how now that the shields are public knowledge, the Traitors won’t mistakenly kill a protected faithful like they could when they were secret last series.
Fay went on: “Remember, the shield protected us from the Traitors because they struck in the evening. That meant that if they didn’t know who had it and they could waste a chance to kill a faithful. The aim of the show at the end of the day is to protect yourself.
“But now that they know that the shields are up for grabs, they can work out who’s got the shields by process of elimination or even grab them themselves. So I don’t think that’s the right move because the shield was a powerful force for the Faithfuls and I think it gives the Traitor’s the upper hand.”

It comes after the brunette beauty revealed which contestant she thinks has what it takes to make it all the way to the final – and it isn’t a Faithful. When asked which contestant has what it takes to deceive them all, she immediately replied: “Harry, sneaky little Harry.
“He’s very charming and it’s all about the charm you see. I think he’ll go under the radar, no one will suspect him because he’s too nice and he doesn’t go against the grain.”
