“Oh my God, Episode 3 of the Traitors and Diane…”
“I decided to watch the movie The Traitor this year and I love it. I've seen all three available episodes and can't wait for next week.'
“Also, I kept gasping for air in episode 3.”
Fans have predicted who the fourth traitor will be after the first episode of season two ended with a huge cliffhanger.
During the opening show on Wednesday, presenter Claudia Winkleman, 51, announced Harry, Ash and Paul as the three chosen traitors.
The other 19 contestants remain loyal and must find out who they think might be a traitor before they are murdered and eliminated from the show.
However, to put this season in a completely different light, the traitors were tasked with selecting a fourth traitor to join their clan – however their identity was not revealed as the season ended on a dramatic cliffhanger.
Although the trio was narrowed down to Andrew, Diane, Miles or Sonja to join them, viewers will have to wait until Thursday night's episode to find out.

BBC viewers are convinced they know who the fourth traitor will be, writing to X: “Diane must certainly be the fourth traitor.”
Another wrote: “If they don't recruit her as the fourth player, they will almost certainly kick her out first.”
Retired teacher Diane, 63, from Lancashire, says she has taught “some very difficult children” and knows how to keep calm.
Of a possible game plan, she said, “I had to use tactics to gain control of a classroom.” I used a lot of humor and you had to know when to pick your battles.
“I know from the last series that Wilfred said he would get people on his side and try to make waves, but I won't do anything like that.”
On the possibility that Diane could be a traitor, she said: “You have to be very careful who you befriend.”
“It might be hard for me, but I would still like to say I could do it all the way.”
“You're thrown into this situation and you might have nothing else in your life for three weeks but this game, it's going to be so easy to let it take over.”

As well as offering the opportunity to raise £15,000 towards the prize pot, Claudia added a surprising new layer to the challenges.
