The Traitors fans have slammed this year’s cast and accused them of ‘bullying’ contestant Kasim, after he was banished on Wednesday night.
The latest episode of the hit BBC show saw the emotional moment that the doctor, 33, was sent home after receiving the most number of votes at the round table.
But he soon revealed that he had been a Faithful all along, sending shockwaves around the castle and sparking anger from viewers.
After being banished, host Claudia Winkleman asked Kas to reveal whether he had been a Traitor or a Faithful.
Addressing his co-stars, he said: ‘It’s been fantastic, and you are all fantastic people. I know it’s just a game. And Joe, who’d have thought you’d have caught me based on a twinkle in the eye.’
He then announced: ‘On the first round table I was selected to be a Faithful’ before immediately turning around and leaving the room.

His fellow contestants reacted in shock, with many soon breaking down in tears as they voiced their guilt at voting out the strong player.
But viewers watching at home were furious as they claimed the group had ‘screwed over’ Kas and ‘bullied him out of the game’.
Kas had become visibly more downtrodden throughout the episode, after finding himself facing off suspicions at every round table since the start.
He was immediately suspected because of his job as a doctor, with it being said he could be ‘saving lives in the day and killing Faithfuls at night’.
While banished Traitor Armani inadvertently threw further suspicion his way after she insisted that he was Faithful.
Wednesday’s episode saw him forced to excuse himself during dinner after Tyler refused to air his theories until Kas left the room.
And fans voiced their heartbreak as he admitted that he felt increasingly isolated in the castle due to the other contestants ostracising him.
When asked what his theories for who the Traitors were at the round table, Kas explained he had not been able to think of any as he’d spent his whole time defending himself.
