The Traitors’ Amanda Lovett has revealed she was left pretty unimpressed by Tom Elderfield showing off his magic tricks during their time in the castle.

While Amanda was a Traitor who was banished from the game on Tuesday, Tom was a Faithful who sparked suspicion from the other contestants and was left banished as he tried to save his girlfriend Alex Gray from the same fate.

During their time on the programme, Tom and Alex caused uproar when they revealed they were secretly in a relationship and hadn’t told the other players.

Reflecting on her time in Claudia Winkleman’s murder mystery game, Amanda exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘There were a few surprises in there,’ she said, referring to Tom and Alex confessing their relationship and Maddy Smedley’s revelation of being a one-time EastEnders actress.

But for Amanda, one of the bigger shocks was realising that Tom actually is a renowned magician, having been left unimpressed by his tricks while in the castle.

‘Oh it was so funny with Tom, because he is a famous magician isn’t he,’ Amanda began.

‘He had these horrible sweatpants on one day and he was saying to me, he was showing me a trick with his thumb, and I thought, “Oh bless him I’m not going to tell him now that my family can do that trick”, so I just said to him, I said, “Tom I don’t know if it’s the career for you.”

‘And he said, “Oh why is that?” and I said, “Because my family can do tricks like that.”

‘But I didn’t know his best friend is Dynamo!’

Amanda added: ‘I felt so sorry for him with his red tracksuit bottoms on. I thought he’s not making any money here, shall we do a collection for him.

‘And there he is, a famous magician!’

Tom is a magician who has presented around the world, appearing on the likes of Ultimate Magic Skills, but, despite calling on his skills of manipulation during his time on the programme, never did guess Amanda was one of the Traitors.

After his elimination, he told Metro.co.uk: ‘In the first ever roundtable, for about an hour, everyone is coding the other person, and I had no idea, and the moment Nicky’s name was dropped honestly it hit me quite hard, because she is super lovely and I was getting close to her, and I even said I don’t care if she’s a Faithful or a Traitor, I want her to win.

‘Writing Nicky on that board to blend in with the herd is so much easier said than done, and it was from that moment that I would never, ever have guessed Amanda.

‘Because there was no way I was putting another mother on that board. I felt awful, I felt really, really bad.’

The Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
