Claudia Winkleman stunned fans when she called the Faithfuls ’embarrassing’ in a brutal critique of The Traitors on Friday night.
The clairvoyant Tracey from Scotland was the last to be killed by the Traitors, much to the horror of some players.
As the participants sat in the breakfast room identifying the missing player, Claudia, 51, entered.
However, Claudia was a far cry from her cheerful Strictly attitude as she arrived poker-faced and revealed mid-game that the Faithfuls have only managed to get one traitor in.
As she held Tracey’s portrait, which had been removed from the wall, she stated, “Tracey was murdered and I’m going to tell you something else. I loved Tracey’.

Turning to the remaining competitors, she continued in a slightly irritated tone, “I’m going to give you a grade. We’re halfway there.
“You have lost seven believers and captured one traitor. Seven/one. I’d say that’s a bit embarrassing.’
As she continued to roast the players, she added, “Stop worrying about who has the jam, how you drink your coffee, and start paying attention.”
Fans flocked to X to praise Claudia for her brilliant performance on the hit BBC One show and apparently loved how she scolded them all so effortlessly.
One said: ‘I’m definitely here for Claudia Winkleman coming in, having a pop of jam, giving them a hairdryer treatment and then leaving with a portrait of a blonde psychic under her arm.’
A second wrote: ‘Claudia bashes the contestants like a teacher when GCSE year rolls around. ‘
A third agreed, saying: “Claudia told the Faithfuls they were doing their job halfway.”
A fourth viewer thought it was funny and said: ‘The way Claudia fucks everyone in this challenge’, followed by a few crying, laughing faces.’
In a shocking twist, Tracey was told she would be leaving the castle on the Traitors’ orders – something Claudia was not happy about
Claudia called the group “embarrassing” and told them to “not worry about who has the jam, how you drink your coffee and pay attention.”
Fans of The Traitors went into hysterics after Claudia Winkleman gave the contestants an absolute rose
The game’s players were left discouraged after being reminded that they had only caught one traitor so far and that the other seven were believers.
“Claudia is absolutely roasting the faithful this year, she makes me squeal.”
While a sixth said: ‘I would find that a bit embarrassing’, Claudia is a savage.’
But her stern words of warning were to no avail, as the participants later also failed to discover another Faithful at the banishment table, but instead lost another Faithful: Anthony.
Just before he left he said, ‘Well, this is indeed a wonderful game to play. For those of you who are left, I really hope you take this opportunity to really look around you. Try to see through the fog in this game.”
