Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford couldn’t help but ridicule Tom Elderfield’s blunder when the magician made his huge reveal on The Traitors, calling out the contestant for ‘shooting himself in the foot’.

Ever since its launch on BBC One, The Traitors has taken the nation by storm, pitting secret ‘Traitors’ against ‘Faithfuls’ in a game of deception, trust and manipulation with a life-changing cash prize waiting for a lucky winner.

One of the biggest talking points came this week, when Tom decided during a breakfast shared with everyone else in the cast to reveal that he and actress Alex Gray had been harbouring a big secret – that they were in a relationship.

During the dramatic meal, author Ivan Brett burst into tears, while BMX athlete Matt Harris also weeped at the shock of finding out Alex and Tom had been hiding their relationship.

At the sight of Ivan crying, Gogglebox stars Tremaine, Twaine and Tristan Plummer couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Izzi Warner expressed how baffled she was by contestants being ‘offended’ when accused of being Traitors, with Tom pointing the finger in Ivan’s direction.

‘That’s the name of the game,’ Izzi remarked.

Then, the fateful moment arrived, as a flushed Tom stood up at the table, announcing to the rest of the group – without consulting with his girlfriend first – that he and Alex were actually in a relationship.

‘No Tom, shush! Stop!’ Izzi shouted at her TV, while Julie Malone predicted that the other competitors wouldn’t trust Tom anymore now that they knew that he lied about knowing Alex before the programme.

A highly amused Pete then quipped: ‘What he’s done there is shot himself in the foot, and her.’

Izzi couldn’t believe her eyes when Tom then pointed the finger at Ivan, accusing him of being a Traitor, as she exclaimed: ‘He’s thrown Ivan straight under the double decker.’

‘Oh my god! This has caused an absolute riot!’ astonished Gogglebox star Joe Kyle said in shock.

As they continued to watch mayhem unravel at the breakfast, Pete speculated that ‘somebody’s going to be wearing a blueberry muffin in a minute’.

As Pete pointed out, Tom did indeed make a blunder by revealing his relationship, as he was banished from the game shortly afterwards.

Well, everyone watching The Traitors is hoping the drama is going to continue to ramp up… so stay tuned!

Near the end of tonight’s Gogglebox, Pete shared the happy news that he and his wife Paige Yeomans are having a second baby.

He made the announcement while sitting with his sister Sophie Sandiford and his son Jimmy, as he said to the toddler: ‘Jimbers. Now you’re going to have a little brother or sister coming!’

‘Yeah! You’re going to be a big brother!’ Sophie added, as she bounced the baby on her lap.

The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Gogglebox is available to watch on All 4.
