The Traitors star Ash has admitted she still supports Paul and Harry to win the hit BBC competition despite them turning against her in brutal scenes.
Ash, 45, became the first traitor to be banished from the Scottish castle in dramatic scenes on Wednesday after her strategy completely backfired.
She suggested being isolated in the dungeon with 36-year-old Paul to avoid suspicion after coming under fire from the faithful when Harry and Paul betrayed them.
However, the decision sealed their fate as the faithful became increasingly convinced of their guilt due to their isolation and their fellow traitors Harry, Paul and Miles voted them all out in a strategic move.
Despite her shocking betrayal, Ash admitted that she is still on Team Traitors and is rooting for them all to win. She said she was ready to enjoy the show as an unsuspecting viewer after her eviction.

Ash, 45, became the first traitor to be banished from the Scottish castle in dramatic scenes on Wednesday after fellow traitor Paul (pictured) plotted to drive her away
Speaking to Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson on This Morning on Thursday, Ash said: “I feel like I have to be a traitor to the end, I have to support my traitor brothers.”
“I still have to support them!” If the show is called Traitors, it has to be about the Traitors!'
She also remained tight-lipped about fan theories that she will expose Paul in her farewell speech after viewers were left stuck in a cliffhanger ending with her banishment.
Craig said, “Paul will be found out soon,” to which Ash innocently replied, “You think so?”
When asked about her strategy on the show, Ash also admitted that her downfall was trusting her fellow traitors too much and not being herself on the show.
“I think maybe I trusted my fellow traitors too much?” But you know, we are traitors, traitors have to portray! “That’s our job, that’s what we have to do,” she said.
'I find [not being myself] was possibly my downfall, I think if I had been a bit more myself, I like to joke and have fun, but I needed to be more serious.
“But if I had relaxed a bit and enjoyed myself, people might not have looked at me.”
Traitors Harry (pictured) and Paul both voted for Ash on Tuesday and she narrowly avoided eviction, and they threw her under the bus again and got her banned on Wednesday
Unlike the first round of voting for Ash, Miles also voted for Ash among his fellow traitors as the Believers' suspicions grew and she was devastated
Despite her shocking betrayal, Ash admitted that she is still on Team Traitors and hopes they all win, saying she is ready to enjoy the show as an unsuspecting spectator
Following Ash's banishment, fans predicted that she would expose her fellow traitor Paul in her farewell speech following his betrayal.
They wrote on social media: “This cliffhanger sure means Ash will drop a bombshell when she leaves.” I'm assuming she'll tell them she wasn't the only traitor in the dungeon who completely betrayed Paul thrown over the pile. Love it;'
“Honestly, if I was playing the game I definitely would. “Vote for someone sentenced to prison at the Round Table because that's exactly how a traitor would try to appear innocent, and besides, you'll greatly increase your chances of getting a traitor out.”
“This cliffhanger definitely means Ash is going to drop a bombshell when she leaves.” I'm assuming she'll tell them that she wasn't the only traitor in the dungeon who totally screwed Paul over. Love it;'
“This twist is a mess because they sent two traitors to the dungeon. “Now we know Meg will be the next murdered.”
The tense episode had a huge plot twist as traitors Ash and Paul both put themselves at risk of being voted out as they made their way to the dungeon.
She also remained tight-lipped about fans' theories that she will expose Paul in her farewell speech, refusing to shed light on whether she might take revenge against the traitors
The couple requested to be separated from the group and housed in the bowels of the castle along with believers Meg and Andrew.
But their strategy almost backfired as Andrew was saved by the Believers and not Paul or Ash, meaning that if Meg had been sent home, no one would have been murdered and her identity would have been called into question.
Paul said the move was a “strategy within a strategy” to vote Ash out so they could give the Believers a traitor and he could cement his status as a false believer.
