The Traitors spoilers follow.
The Traitors UK star Minah Shannon has revealed her game strategy after being banished from the show.
The reality TV star appeared in the third season of the BBC murder mystery show, playing a Traitor since the start of the game. However, in tonight's episode, Minah received the most votes at the roundtable resulting in her banishment.
Appearing on spin-off show The Traitors: Uncloaked, Minah reflected on her exit, telling host Ed Gamble: "I think as I got on, I got cocky, or complacent, I think that's the word."

"I made a conscious effort to make relationships within different groups from day one," she continued. "I think in my head I was like surely someone will tell me, surely, but that's the confidence, the power got to me."

Minah also revealed her one game plan going into the show, which thanks to certain circumstances paid off.
"Yeah, I actually only had a game plan as a Traitor, so god help me if I wasn't picked," she laughed.

My game plan going in was to be myself," she explained. "I just knew the way I am with people, I make connections with people so easily without trying, that's just how I am. And I just thought what a perfect game plan, just be yourself, I don't have to pretend I'm Welsh or a Priest or a Nail Tech.
"I just need to be myself, it's going to work," she continued. "I wanted to make multiple connections with multiple people, so people just can't believe it's her before it's Joe, Frankie or Leon etc."
Joking that she has "verbal diarrhoea", Gamble also asked Minah how she dealt with that quality as a Traitor, with her jokingly responding: "Well, I didn't win did I."
During the roundtable, Faithfuls Alexander, Frankie and Freddie voted for Minah, with the final vote coming from fellow traitor Charlotte.

Declaring her true identity to the group, she revealed: "I am - and have been from the start - a traitor."
Was Minah dropping a clue for the others about her fellow Traitor or was it just a coincidence?
Following Minah's banishment, Charlotte had no choice but to recruit and chose Freddie as her new Traitor. After accepting his new role, the two decided to murder Leanne – but Charlotte had a trick up her sleeve which she didn't share with Freddie.
In tonight's episode, Leanne won the shield during the mission and later on decided to share the news with Charlotte, Frankie and Jake – not Freddie or Alexander.
How will Freddie respond when he sees Leanne at the breakfast table in the next episode?
The Traitors season 3 is airing Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Another season and a celebrity spin-off have already been confirmed, while international versions also stream on iPlayer.
