The Traitors star Fozia reveals killer game-plan to get ‘rival’ contestant out

The Traitors star Fozia Fazil has revealed who was on her target list before she was devastatingly murdered in one of the most dramatic moments of the series so far.

Last night on the BBC show, it was finally revealed which of the Faithfuls hadn’t survived the dreaded Death Match, after four were forced to take part in the risky game during the dead of night.

The four Faithfuls put to the test were Fozia, Anna Duke, Leon Jackman and Alexander Dragonetti, with three of them managing to get through the game by the skin of their teeth.

Sadly, it was Fozia’s time to be sent home – and after being killed face-to-face by Traitors Linda Rands and Minah Shannon, Metro caught up with her to find out how she really felt about her murder.

In one of the highlights of the latest episode, Fozia, 50, turned around to Linda, 70, after being told she’d been murdered and said: ‘Linda, I knew it was you!’, before adding: ‘You’re not gonna last.’

In an epic clapback, Linda then retorted: ‘Get over it,’ as she walked away… and Fozia told us that in that moment, she was truly ‘so frustrated’.

‘I felt like she got the last laugh, which she did to my face, and I just wanted to get the last word in,’ the community development manager from Birmingham said.

‘I was like, “You’re not getting sleep tonight,” because I knew everybody was onto her.

‘We had that little bit of rivalry going on throughout, which the viewers clearly were entertained by.’

Fozia added that in a way, she was ‘glad’ that Linda turned out to be a Traitor, because she’d suspected her of being one throughout the game.

During our interview, we suggested that a team-up of Linda and Fozia as Traitors would have been truly legendary. But if that had happened, Fozia would have had a deadly plan up her sleeve, she revealed.

‘Had I been a Traitor, I probably would have got Linda, got rid of Linda straight away,’ Fozia admitted.

‘You can tell Minah’s calling all the shots. Linda’s just going with the flow, which is why she’s made so many boo boos throughout.’

Fortunately, there isn’t any bad blood between Fozia and Linda after the show, with the latter later being banished at a roundtable after being rightfully accused of being a Traitor.

Appearing together on the sister show The Traitors: Uncloaked, they shared a big hug before having a laugh together about what went down during their on-air feud.

Later while being interviewed by host Ed Gamble, Fozia agreed that it felt ‘gratifying’ that Linda was the next contestant to be banished, while Linda shared that they’d ‘made up’ after their disagreements.

As for the remaining Traitor Minah, Fozia disclosed that she had also suspected her from early on in the game.

‘I was gathering evidence, if that’s what you want to call it. I was suspicious of Minah, because when I met her at the platform, she was so vibrant, chatty, really confident,’ the murdered player recalled.

‘Then when I went back into the game, she didn’t make eye contact with me at the roundtable. She didn’t say hello to me on the first day back. Clearly, she’s too busy plotting murders, isn’t she, to make time for me? So I was a bit sus there.’

All eyes will be on Minah, 29, tonight on The Traitors, as she gave Faithful Charlotte Berman, 32, an ultimatum – either join the Traitors, or be murdered.

Wednesday’s instalment ended on a cliffhanger, with Charlotte arriving at the firepit at night to find a cloaked Traitor with their face concealed waiting for her.

So will Charlotte choose to save herself but turn away from her identity as a Faithful? Not long to go until we find out!

The Traitors returns tonight at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
