The Celebrity Traitors chaos as three huge names dumped in brutal triple elimination

The Celebrity Traitors turned toxic in Wednesday's third episode, and it wasn't just the murders causing drama.

Olympic diver Tom Daley, 31, and YouTube star Niko Omilana, 27, both left the castle in a tense double blow.

Firstly, Niko was booted out during the round table vote. Later, Tom was murdered by Traitors Alan Carr, Cat Burns and Jonathan Ross.

But it was Niko's shock exit that really sent tensions spiralling, especially for actress Ruth Codd, 29, who didn't hold back.

After that, she snapped: "Don't p**s in my ear and say it's raining."

Adding salt to the wound, she continued: "He stabbed him in the back . . . I've no doubt that dagger's going straight in my back some time soon as well."

Also, actress Celia Imrie, 73, raised eyebrows by suggesting she suspected singers Cat, 25, and Charlotte Church, 39, of being Traitors.

And while the group ultimately decided to banish EastEnders star Tameka Empson, 48, she shocked them all by revealing she too was Faithful.

In a telling twist, the next highest names in the vote were the show's oldest contestants, Celia, Jonathan and Sir Stephen Fry, 68.

The Celebrity Traitors fans furious

Fans flocked to Twitter after Wednesday night's episode of The Celebrity Traitors, fuming at what went on.

"They've all been cowards there. Niko has been voted because he's an outsider and he's not in their celebrity world. Nothing to do with the game," one penned.

While someone else said: "celebrity traitors just annihilated the 3 best people within the first 3 episodes what is the point of me watching anymore."

A third penned: "These lot saying they were too convinced niko was the traitor in celebrity traitors mate there was no proof at all to go with that was saying he was the traitor they only went with what each other were saying."
