The third installment of The Traitors UK aired episode 3 on Friday, January 3, 2025. It showcased the contestants successfully identifying the secret Traitor Armani and banishing her from the castle. With Armani receiving nine votes out of a possible 18, she became the first conspirator to be uncloaked.
In the previous episode, Armani had advised her fellow conspirators, Linda and Minah, to become more "assertive." Not only did Armani's feedback irk the ladies, but it also motivated Minah to turn against her. During a confessional, Minah expressed it was time to betray her co-conspirator, unwilling to let Armani's gameplay hamper her own.
Minah executed her plan and voted to banish Armani during the roundtable besides planting the seed of doubt in the heads of the other players. After the results were announced and Armani revealed that she indeed was not a Faithful, the cast members burst into celebration. However, Maia, Armani's younger sister, broke down, upset to see her sibling exiting the castle.

"My nature just got the better of me" — The Traitors UK star Armani comments on her eviction
After receiving nine votes and exiting the castle, the 27-year-old financial investigator from London admitted that her original strategy "went completely out the window." Her original plan was to keep her cards close to her chest and not give away her opinions. However, it fell through soon after she entered the castle.
"My nature just got the better of me and I ended up yapping away to everybody," she said.
The Traitors UK cast member added that she got overexcited and overshared her thoughts, which eventually became her "biggest downfall." Despite that, Armani was grateful for the opportunity and said she greatly enjoyed the experience. The "number one standout" for the evictee was that she could participate in the show with her sister, Maia.
She was also impressed by how quickly The Traitors UK cast members figured out her game plan.
"That was a super move by everybody because they came out of nowhere. My little sister didn't even back me up! I can't complain, I would have done the exact same thing," Armani added.
Armani's exit left Maia in a difficult position. She did not know whether to feel upset or celebrate. While speaking to the cameras, Maia confessed that even though Armani was a Traitor, she was still her sister and her "everything." Therefore, she confessed it was difficult for her to betray Armani.
The Traitors UK airs on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 9 pm only on BBC One.
