Elsewhere fans were left furious over the 'ridiculous' cliffhanger ending on Friday night as the hit BBC show abruptly ended mid round table. 

The tension rose between the celebrities at the first round table of the series as they debated whether Richard is faithful or not.

And just as the celebrities were going back and fourth on Richard's innocence, Claudia announced: 'Players the time for talk is over,' and the second episode surprisingly ended. 

Fans were left shocked by the 'massive cliffhanger' as viewers didn't even get the chance to see the stars write who they believe is a traitor on their chalk boards and will now have to wait six days for the next episode.

They wrote: 'Yeah not a fan of these cliffhanger endings on the traitors. Since when did they end the show before a round table vote? Ridiculous. #traitors;

'The one thing about the traitors is it’s going to end on a cliffhanger every single time and make you shout at the tv because now we have to wait till next flipping thursday;

'Why we breaking format? Seen about 20 seasons of The Traitors, breakfast, round table, murder cliffhanger. Why we going to cliffhanger at the round table. Makes the vote off crazy obvious;

'A CLIFFHANGER!?; Celeb traitors and its addiction to ending abruptly.

Elsewhere in the episode, former Today programme host Amol Rajan fell at the first hurdle when he was murdered by Richard and Maya Jama. 

Viewers were left waiting for 24 hours to see if he or podcaster James Acaster would win the battle to be chosen by Richard and Maya to be the third traitor, but on Friday, fans saw that it was Amol who lost out.

Speaking after his shock exit, Amol admitted that he is ‘grieving’ being kicked off so early.

‘It's just an absolutely unforgettable ride of a lifetime. And honestly, there's kind of an unhappy contrast right now, because I'm sort of grieving what might have been.

‘In time I know that I'll come to look on this as honestly one of the greatest privileges of my life.’

Host Claudia was seen pacing back and forth before slamming the coffin shut on the broadcaster, meaning he is the first player to be eliminated.

'It's game over,' he told the camera. 'It is gutting to be the first out, but James is a fantastic player, and people aren't going to suspect him, and they might suspect me. 

'Maybe I was a little bit foolish with Richard, but then again, I ended up in the chapel with a nearly 50/50 chance to join their club.

'But do you know what? Games are games. Just like there are winners, there has to be losers. I've loved the ride.'

Television's most deceitful game show returned – and yet again proved to be a smash hit with viewers.

Nominated as one of Claudia's Traitors, Richard has already made the biggest slip-up in Celebrity Traitors history.

As Richard mingled with Faithful Joe Lycett in the lounge area, the comedian jumped straight in with the question: 'What are you?'

'A Traitor,' Richard responded with a huge grin on his face.

Unsure what to believe, Joe said: 'I think you've just done something that has never happened in the game... bold strategy.'

The surprise confession has left the rest of the celebrities in a tailspin, with the actor acknowledging he will face the heat at the first round table.

But James, who was pushing forward the theory Richard is a Traitor, will now be working alongside them to throw the Faithfuls off the scent. 

The second series launch episode attracted a record-breaking nine million viewers on Thursday, surpassing all previous premieres for The Traitors UK.

Overnight figures show the first episode peaked at just over nine million and averaged 8.9 million viewers – up almost three million from the first celebrity series, and 2.5 million from series four of The Traitors back in January.

Last year's star-studded celebrity series, featuring the likes of winner Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, Kate Garraway and Paloma Faith, launched with a peak audience of 6.5 million viewers, averaging 6.1 million across the episode.
