The first three episodes of the new series of The Traitors has aired – but how has a contestant from Kent fared so far?

(Spoiler alert...don’t read on if you haven’t yet watched up to and including the third episode.)

Kyra Johnson, 21, an apprentice economist, was among the 22 contestants looking to win the £120,000 prize pot up for grabs in the Claudia Winkleman-hosted show.

This year, four people have been secretly selected as ‘the traitors’ with the remaining contestants – ‘the faithful’ – tasked with rooting them out.

The traitors can eliminate – or ‘murder’ – a contestant each night.

But Kyra’s dreams of landing the jackpot evaporated when she was ‘murdered’ by the traitors after they identified her as being a powerful character who could twig their identities.

They described her as “the biggest voice in the room” and a threat.

Speaking after her exit, she said: “I did say I would authentically be myself so I have no regrets."

Fans of the show also noted she was no stranger to TV shows. It emerged just two months ago she had been on Deal or No Deal – taking home £1,800 in prize money.

The Traitors is on BBC1 and airs on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The are 12 episodes in total.
