Frankie speaks out after Charlotte brutally told The Traitors finalists 'not to trust her' before banishment

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Traitors

In case you've been living under a rock, season three of the beloved BBC reality show The Traitors wrapped on Friday (24 January).

Unlike the deceiving twists and turns we saw from a Traitor in last year's final though, it was the Faithful that walked away with the prize money this time as Jake and Leanne emerged victorious, splitting £94,600 between them.

To get there, they had to banish the final Traitor and two Faithfuls to be sure, though one of the finalists had 'The Seer' power which revealed someone else's role in the game.

Despite being among those banished in The Traitors finale, runner-up Frankie was involved in some dramatic scenes during the episode.

Francesca, or Frankie, managed to get Traitor Charlotte out as The Seer but not before Charlotte cast a spell of doubt over the remaining Faithful members as to whether Frankie was with them or not.

Charlotte told the rest of the finalists 'not to trust her [Frankie]' before she was banished at the roundtable.

Then at the 'End Game', Jake and Leanne chose to vote out Alexander and Frankie, winning the prize pot which they will not have received yet.

And now, Frankie has addressed being banished last minute despite being a Faithful, revealing all about the BBC show to The Mirror.

"The roundtable is a really intense environment," she admitted.

Frankie went on: "At that point in time I was really shocked, but I realised also that she was playing a game. When someone says that about you, you take a jerk backwards, but then actually I realised that she had to do that.

"That was her way of staying in the game, but yes, it was a very intense roundtable."

Charlotte also told the publication: "It was so hard being pitted against Frankie in that Seer situation. Obviously I wasn't there for the fire pit but when I did find out [the results] I wasn't hugely surprised."

She admitted that she spent all day planting 'seeds of doubt' and said that she would have done the same thing if she were Jake or Leanne, not wanting to take a risk.

"They were four Faithfuls and they could have split the money four ways but they didn't know that! It's the nature of the brutal game," Charlotte highlighted.

Frankie wasn't the only victim of Charlotte throughout the season though, as she even voted for original Traitor Minah - who was subsequently banished at one of the roundtables.

She followed this up by recruiting Freddie, who she also threw under the bus, though he did vote for Charlotte before being banished.

Charlotte admitted: "The relationships you make are so strong and no one takes it personally. The moment I left I realised 'Oh wow, it was just a game'."

Season three's finale rounds off another successful year for the TV show.

The Traitors finale had over seven million viewers, and with plenty of fanfare on social media, it comes as no surprise that a fourth season has already been commissioned.
