The Traitors star Alyssa Chan latest to be banished from BBC reality TV show

Alyssa Chan was the latest contestant to be banished from The Traitors during Thursday night's programme - and said that she knew she had no chance of winning after just three days.

After being 'murdered', Alyssa, 21, admitted that she felt "crumbled by guilt" after being picked to be a traitor on the BBC reality TV show, which is filmed in the Scottish Highlands.

Twenty two players take on daily tasks to top up a prize pot - but it's not that easy as three of the contestants have secretly been assigned as traitors. Each night the trio meet to decide which of the others - the faithful - to "murder", or in other words, boot them from the castle.

The whole group meet at a "roundtable" during the day to vote off someone they suspect of being a traitor. If all the traitors are evicted, the faithful split the prize pot - but if any are remaining at the end, they take the jackpot.

Alyssa’s ally Wilfred Webster, 28, voted her out during Thursday's session, with the evictee admitting it left her "so shocked". She said: "That’s the first time in the game that I was angry, because I was blindsided. You genuinely feel like it’s life or death. I can’t tell you how immersed in the game you get. I felt like it was a witch-hunt for me and I was just terrified."

Wilfred has since apologised for his backstabbing actions, and Alyssa admitted the pair are "good friends now" and that her killer "played a great game".

Viewers branded the BBC show "cruel" and "unnecessary" on Thursday night as contestants are buried alive in the latest challenge on Thursday night.

Four of the contestants put themselves forward to play a game of hide and seek, while another group had to find their teammates. Every teammate they found earned them £1,500.

But those who were hiding were faced with their darkest fears, as they met in a cemetery with a number of graves dug. Moments later, host Claudia Winkleman informed them that they'd have to crawl into a coffin and be buried alive - but also that they would be in the coffin for 45 minutes.
