The 30-year-old has predicted a twist at the end of the season in an exclusive interview with the ECHO
Excitement is building for the season finale of The Traitors tonight. The last episode of season three is set to air on Friday at 8.30pm on BBC One.
The episode will explore who takes home the whopping cash prize. Thursdays’ episode ended on a dramatic note as the one remaining Traitor, Charlotte Berman, was selected by Francesca Rowan-Plowden to reveal her true identity.
Francesca won the power of The Seer, which has been introduced for the new season. The meeting will mean she will know Charlotte is a Traitor, which should mean a win for the Faithful.
However, the star of this season, Minah Shannon, told the ECHO in an exclusive interview how she expects a completely different outcome. She revealed, Charlotte, who banished her in dramatic circumstances on Wednesday may still go on to win the show.
The 30-year-old, who lives in Crosby, said: “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit smug thinking how’s this conversation [with Francesca and Charlotte] gonna go. But I’m worried that Frankie having this knowledge could backfire on her because the last few episodes, the way I’ve watched it, everyone thinks Charlotte is a Faithful. Everyone who has watched it has been like, ‘She’s my 100%.’
“So if Frankie goes back to Jake, Leanne and Alexander and says, ‘Charlotte is a Traitor’. I worry they’re going to think that she’s making it up, so now I really worry for Frankie because I think Charlotte has finessed this and she’s going to win. If she wins, I’ve told her I want a bottle of wine. I laid the foundations and said, ‘there you go’.”
Charlotte turned on Minah on Wednesday’s episode, but she harbours no ill feelings as she said: “When I was banished, I just watched it and I was gutted again, but instantly I just had to remind myself, it was just a game. She was playing her game and I was playing my game and they just happened to be different. But yeah it was very intense.
“If I’d have picked somebody else, but I don’t know how that other person would have been. Maybe if I’d have picked Lisa or Leanne, maybe the outcome would be different. I tried to pick somebody who would be a strong Traitor and she is a strong Traitor.
“She’s absolutely smashing it, but she just isn’t smashing it with me. It’s one of those. I wanted to pick one of those who was going to be good, but maybe she was too good and then it ended up being my downfall.”
Minah also revealed in her interview with the ECHO how she isn’t originally from Liverpool and moved to the city when she was 18 from Birmingham for university. She said: “I’m going to give you a massive exclusive and I hope the exclusive doesn’t get me cancelled forever, but I wasn’t born in Liverpool.
She added: “I lived in Uganda when I was little and then I lived in Glasgow until I was 12 and then I lived in Birmingham until I was 18. I actually moved to Liverpool with a Brummie accent.”
However, Minah’s identity as a Liverpudlian was not a ruse as she explained the city is where she has most been at home: “Liverpool is the place that I’ve lived the longest and that’s 12 years now. Every other place has been like five years, but I think moving to Liverpool made me who I am.
“I met my husband in Liverpool, I had my little girl in Liverpool and I think the friendships I’ve made in Liverpool have made me who I am as a 30-year-old now. So I’ll always say I’m Scouse regardless of what anyone says.” The Traitors final airs tonight at 8.30pm
