TRAITORS Ireland viewers were left shocked after Faithful Joanna was banished following one of the most dramatic roundtables of the series.

The episode kicked off with Faithful Ben, who is a member of the Irish Defence Forces, being called to a meeting with the last remaining Traitor Nick.

While Ben said he "was happy playing a Faithful game", the 33-year-old was delighted to accept when he was delivered an ultimatum from Nick - join or be murdered.

"Trembling with excitement", the two Traitors discussed who might be murdered, with Kelley and Vanessa's names' coming up. Ben said "he felt bad" but it was the aim of the game.

Ben and Vanessa were the first through the door for breakfast, but Ben is confident, telling how he thinks Vanessa trusts her.

Joanna was next into the breakfast hall, with Wilkin and Nick strolling through after. Slowly the rest of the Faithfuls enter as tension built as to who could have been murdered. The remaining players were left heartbroken when they found out Amy had been murdered. She took it on her chin saying: "When it is your time to go, it is your time to go."

DEATH

"There's so few of ye", host Siobhan McSweeney declared as she spoke to the players, telling them Amy's death was "quick and painful".
