The Traitors viewers in tears as contestant reveals emotional wish after horror car crash

THE Traitors got even more vicious tonight as contestant Nicky shared with the group she wanted the money for a new bionic hand. 

The 45-year-old accounts supervisor from Croydon spent the afternoon talking with the group of the deceptive BBC series, during which they quizzed her about life outside the Scottish highlands castle. 

Trying to decipher whether she was a “Traitor” or “Faithful”, a group of the fellow hopefuls asked her about her child. 

Nicky said she had a 26-year-old son, which she had at 18, but life was tough for them after a car accident on a motorway resulted in her right hand being amputated. 

“I had my son very young, then the accident happened. It’s just hard, losing your hand at 22 and you’ve got a four-year-old kid, you’re like ‘right, what do we do now?’” she told them. 

However, she refused to let it get her down, and she added: “Do you know what, I sit there and when you’ve got someone staring up at you thinking that they’re reliant on you, you’re like, as much as what I’m going through, I’ve just lost my hand. I’m just like ‘s**t, i can’t crumble’.

“I was just like “well OK, i won’t make life complicated with myself, so I’m still with mum and dad.” 

At which point Nicky said no, admitting she’d rather get both her hands back rather than live alone without one. 

“If I was to win Traitors, it would realise my dream of having two working hands again,” she said. “This is big. This is big stuff.” 

However, despite the admirable dream, Nicky was unable to win over the rest of the contestants, who didn’t think she was a Faithful and was spurred on by the TRUE traitors into believing she was tricking them. 

At the end of the evening, the group were able to banish someone they considered a traitor, and nearly all of them voted for Nicky under the belief her “attitude had changed” after the Traitors were assigned. 

As she was banished from the game, she got the last laugh as Claudia Winkleman gave her the floor to reveal her true nature. 

“I’d just like to say, you know what, it’s a hard decision to make and it’s not been very pleasant sat here,” she told everyone. “However, you’re all wrong. I am a Faithful.”

With that, she left, leaving the entire group in shock and unsure of who to trust. 

The three Traitors are given the task of remaining undetected throughout the show’s run, “killing” a Faithful every night in a bid for them to win the money for themselves. 

So far, all three remain in the game. 

The Traitors continues tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One.
