People think sad moment in Traitors finale is the most ‘brutal moment in TV history’

The Traitors finally came to an end last night and much like the rest of the series, there was plenty of shocking moments.

Viewers have been on quite the rollercoaster ride - there's been a mother and son reveal, an all-time great TV villain in Paul and one-liners from Claudia Winkleman which you just can't help yourself from laughing at.

But among all the trials, tribulations, banishments and murders, there has also been some tear-jerking moments too, especially in the finale of the BBC show which aired on Friday (26 January).

Fans of The Traitors dubbed one particular part of the episode the 'most brutal moment in TV history' as people were left stunned by the lengths some of the players were willing to go to get their hands on the cash prize.

So, let's bring you up to speed - Faithfuls Evie, Mollie and Jas were still hanging on in the finals, but so were Traitors Andrew and Harry, who had expertly managed to go undetected throughout the 12 episodes.

There was a group vote and ultimately, Evie and Andrew ended up being banished.

Jas then raised his suspicions about Harry, who has become pretty close to Mollie throughout the show.

She reckoned he wouldn't betray her though, so she put her neck on the line and insisted he too was a Faithful.

Spoiler alert - he was, of course, lying.

Things got quite tense in the final.

After Harry persuaded her it was not him, he and Mollie ended up banishing poor Jas, leaving just the two of them.

Mollie obviously thought it was mint that she was in the finals with her pal... until it was revealed that Harry was actually the Traitor, who scooped the entire prize and left her empty handed.

He played a blinder, basically.

Mollie was obviously blindsided by the news, seeing her tearfully shout 'f**k' a few times before running out of the room to cry - but viewers can't believe she was so gullible and were left frustrated that she had got rid of a Faithful.

During an interview on The Traitors: Uncloaked in wake of the moment, she revealed that she had changed her vote in the final banishment at the eleventh hour because of Harry's incredible acting skills.

Mollie said: "I wrote Harry's name down first, and I changed it… He played an excellent game, so fair play to him."

She said it was 'tough' to watch the footage of herself getting emotional and reliving the moment.

Harry betrayed his close pal to win The Traitors.

The finalist continued: "I think, deep down, I probably knew [Harry was a traitor], but that slight doubt, I just couldn't do it. It's a tough one, but it is what it is.

"Going from thinking you've won with your best mate to [losing], it was rough."

Social media users were also stunned by the dramatic showdown and shared their thoughts online.

One wrote: "NO WAY HAS SHE STORMED OFF!!!!! Oh my god this is the most brutal television moment in history???"

Another said: "Mollie looking through the shouting "F**K!". The piano music. Claudia looking down cos of the sheer awkwardness. TV moment of the year, give it all the BAFTAS. This alone is worth the TV license."

A third added: "Mollie storming out is the best cinema I’ve ever seen I am shaking."

And a fourth chimed in: "Mollie looking through the fire and shouting "F**K!" after Harry's Betrayal for TV Moment of the Year."

Harry, who walked away with all the cash, said in his confessional: "Mollie is the reason I'm here. I need to gain her trust back. I don't know if that's possible, but I've got to try."

Good luck with that fella.
