The Traitors season 3 spoilers follow.
The Traitors have taken a huge risk in an upcoming murder involving a player who is wielding a secret shield.
Tonight's (January 16) mission saw contestants split into teams to try and win money and shields in a game involving dolls who sang nursery rhymes backwards.
After reciting the backwards tune and then reversing it on a gramophone, players had to guess what the song was. Jake was the only player to receive a shield during the mission after finding it hidden in a teddy bear.
On the way back to the castle, the six players on Jake's team decided to keep the identity of the shield winner a secret from the remaining players.

At the end of the episode, Traitors Minah and Charlotte met in the tower where they were given the chance to murder, choosing between Jake, Lisa and Joe. We'll have to wait until tomorrow's episode to find out if their risk has paid off.
Elsewhere, the result of last night's ultimatum that saw Charlotte face recruitment by the last remaining Traitor following Linda's exit was revealed.
Kicking things off, Charlotte came face-to-face with Minah who asked her: "Charlotte I've got an ultimatum for you. You join me as a Traitor or I will murder you tonight.

"I feel like you are smart and you probably would have caught onto me," she continued. "I've lost Armani and Linda. I want someone who I could go to the final with."
"I feel like I have got everyone on my side knowing I'm a Faithful. I feel like I will probably have to accept and join the dark side," Charlotte said before accepting the job along with a green cloak from Minah.
The pair then went back to the turret where they were to commit their first murder together, a choice between Lisa, Jake and Anna. At breakfast the victim was revealed to be Anna. "I'm devastated, I love this game," she said.
Later, at the roundtable suspicion fell on Alex after his fellow Faithfuls accused him of slipping up, convinced they had got a Traitor. Ultimately it was Faithful Alex who was banished leaving players in disbelief and tears.
The Traitors is currently airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer – check out The Traitors season 3 release schedule for episode details.
