One contestant from could potentially be in the firing line, according to body language expert Judi James.

While its still early days, the competition is hotting up as the most recent plot twist saw show traitor, Armani, bid farewell to the game as her outspoken approach led to her elimination on Friday (January 3) night’s episode.

Fellow traitor Minah voted against Armani after she became worried that the 27-year-old would become a liability.

Final traitor Linda may also face elimination after being called out over her behaviour during Friday night’s episode.

Speaking exclusively to , Judi suggested Minah has “become stronger” while Linda is “under the group spotlight – cracking under the pressure”.

Judi explained: “As the second Traitor though, Linda seems to have fallen into a ‘fear coma’.

“Her body language is making her a liability as she lurches between agreeability with Minah, agreeing to all her thoughts and choices, and a poker face with the group, interspersed with some very bad acting that even includes glances at the camera.

“The initial warm, tactile, Linda has left the building, and she now realises that, as a walking liability, Minah is probably her biggest threat.”

She continued: “She’s seen how Minah culled Armani, and she will be feeling vulnerable. If Linda has any hidden depths to plumb, she could use attack as the best defence and work to get Minah revealed as a Traitor.

Her current position suggests that’s her only method of survival but is she strategic and ruthless enough? Her body language currently is suggesting she isn’t. She looks weak with the group and very much on the back foot.”

Last week, the traitors were busy as they “murdered” two contestants Yin and Keith in episodes 1 and 2 respectively.

While at the roundtable, faithfuls Nathan and Elen were banished from the castle after being mistaken as traitors.

The faithfuls and traitors are in a bid to secure the final money pot of up to £120,000 but only one can take home the cash prize.

The Traitors airs every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 9pm on One, and is available to stream on iPlayer.
