Minah Shannon has broken her silence on her brutal banishment on Wednesday’s dramatic episode of The Traitors. 

Fans of the BBC series were shocked after Charlotte Berman threw her teammate Minah under the bus, just two days before the finale.

Call centre manager Minah, 29, had survived ten episodes as a Traitor after being picked by Claudia Winkleman in the very first episode.

But viewers had feared she was in trouble after she recruited Charlotte, who has infamously put on a fake Welsh accent during the series, last week. 

Minah broke her silence on Charlotte’s savage betrayal on the show’s spin off Uncloaked on Wednesday, admitting she should have thought twice about her choice of teammate.

‘Charlotte, I had accused her on the second round table and she had proven her faithfulness so in my head I thought she is the only female who has proven to everybody that she is one hundred percent faithful therefore surely she will think that I want to win with her,’ she explained of her pick.

‘But looking back on it now, because I accused her she didn’t trust me one bit.’

Minah went on to say though that she wouldn’t change a thing about how she played the game.  

‘I want to say I’d pick different but if I’m being honest with you I wouldn’t do anything different, I didn’t win but I went out how I wanted to go out with integrity,’ she said.

‘I was clear in my mission which was a sisterhood. I tried where possible to protect Linda, I never made rumours about Charlotte.’

Of her possible other picks for a traitor, Minah mused: ‘Looking back I should have picked Lisa because Linda was out and in what world is there two older females? I thought she would have rather be murdered than accept and I didn’t want to put anyone out of the game in that way.’

‘I could have picked Frankie, but I just didn’t think Frankie was built to be a traitor. If I’d have known Leanne was in the army I would have picked her, but she always seemed very worried to me. Obviously that was a game plan for her.’

As the votes remained equal between Minah and Freddie on Wednesday’s dramatic episode, it was Charlotte’s vote which sealed Minah’s fate and left viewers rooting for the faithfuls to win.

Betraying the sisterhood, Charlotte explained: ‘I think you would make an amazing traitor, so I voted for you Minah.’ 

Talking to the camera, Minah was evidently taken aback as she exclaimed: ‘I cannot believe it. I really hoped that Charlotte would have had my back. She did me dirty.’ 

Feeling bad after her decision, Charlotte admitted: ‘Oooh I hope Minah will forgive me. I was just trying to think about my own self preservation and for myself and my husband’.

Taking to Twitter, fans were left heartbroken for Minah as they penned: ‘First time all series I’m rooting for the faithfuls to win, Minah deserved the win so much’.

‘Okay I don’t care now take Charlotte out I don’t care’; ‘Get in the bin Charlotte’; ‘Charlotte deserves to win, brilliant game playing’; 

‘DIVA DOWN DIVA DOWN (I hope Charlotte and Freddie doesn’t win xxxx)’; 

‘So Minah’s biggest downfall all along was actually seducing CHARLOTTE as a traitor!’;

‘Minah’s decision to recruit Charlotte has mᴀssively backfired’; ‘Oh Minah… you will be missed’;

‘no because genuinely what is the point of watching anymore theres no minah and leanne will probably get murdered’;

‘Charlotte is winning this isn’t she justice for my girl minah’; ‘the nation weeps’; ‘Ooiiiii she did Minah dirtier than laundry. Hats off to her though’;

‘The look on Minah’s face when Charlotte voted for her was pure gold’;
