The Traitors star says 'all is forgiven' after brutal betrayal on show

One The Traitors star has shared who she blames for her missing out on a huge sum of money on the BBC series earlier this year, and it's not who you think.

Francesca Rowan-Plowden made it all the way to the final, but doubts cast by a Traitor left the Faithful being booted out at the final hurdle. In tense scenes, it was just her and her co-stars Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown left and instead of choosing to end the game, they had to banish one more person.

They were all Faithfuls, but out of pure paranoia no one trusted each other and it meant a vote had to be made. Faithful Frankie was gutted as Jake and Leanne chose to vote her out, meaning no prize money for her.

After this they both voted to end the game, and each secured the prize money. But Frankie holds no grudges, and is in fact pretty close with her pair.

The trio spoke exclusively to The Mirror recently, where they share they and others were still in touch. Frankie vowed that all was forgiven where Jake and Leanne were concerned, months on from the brutal twist.

It's then that Leanne joked where the blame lied, with Frankie not blaming the pair. Frankie explained: "It's okay, I've forgiven them!" Jake pointed out: "She tried to banish me!"

It's then that Leanne revealed who was to blame in their opinions, commenting: "We collectively blame Charlotte anyway so it's fine." With that the trio laughed, showing there were no hard feelings.

Jake also shared the whole group had bonded. He told us: "We all get on, and it's mad how, and I'm not just saying this, but I haven't got a bad word to say about anyone."

Leanne agreed: "We get really excited to see each other again, it's so loving and just nice vibes." The trio also shared some tips for future contestants on how to avoid banishment.

Frankie was quick to offer her advice, telling the cast that the best thing they can do is make cups of tea. She confessed that with everyone needing a brew or two amid the stressful environment at Traitors HQ, AKA the castle, being on hand to keep people topped up with tea works out to be quite a clever tactic.

She explained that it encourages people to keep you around, something Leanne agreed. Frankie said of her advice to the new cast: "Make cups of tea. No one banishes you for quite a while!"

Leanne laughed before agreeing: "Yeah, they need their brew!" Jake was quick to offer some more guidance, telling players to put 100 percent into how they play, whether that be as themselves or a fake identity.

He told us: "I'd just say give it everything. You can obviously lie about who you are as part of the game [or not]. Just every day be 100 percent with whatever you are going in to do. Don't hold back."
