Maya Jama is accused of 'GCSE drama' acting as fans predict she'll be rumbled after murder-in-plain-sight cliffhanger — after Joe Lycett's banishment drew 9.3 million viewers

Maya Jama and James Acaster's murder-in-plain-sight performance has convinced fans she is on the verge of being exposed, with viewers mocking their yawning as amateur acting unworthy of the castle. Friday's episode peaked at 9.6 million viewers with a 57 per cent audience share, following Joe Lycett's near-unanimous banishment after he suggested the Traitors would have to recruit again if he went. No one was murdered the night before because Jama and Acaster recruited King Kenny instead, leaving him to be tested as the treacherous trio face fresh scrutiny.

Viewers mocked Jama and Acaster's 'GCSE drama' yawning during their murder in plain sight, with many convinced she will be rumbled.

Fans expect a suspicious Ross Kemp to see through the yawning plot and expose the Traitors.

Lycett received almost every vote at the round table; only Miranda Hart held out, telling him: 'I physically couldn't write your name down.'

Lycett's parting words: 'I always wanted to start as a Faithful and end as a Traitor.'
