As the players gathered for the second banishment of the episode, discussion inevitably turned to prime suspect Myha’la.

“I’ve heard my name a whole bunch today,” she acknowledged, as the other players struggled to square her behaviour during the mission.

The actress became visibly emotional as she recounted the events of the crypt and attempted to justify grabbing the shield before offering it to Fry.

“I was going to give it to her,” Myha’la said tearfully. “I was worried about my protection, but I thought maybe [Fry] had more heat.”

Sensing that the tide was turning against Myha’la, Fry stuck the knife in. “Why would you scrabble for the shield, and then be keen to give it away?” she asked.

Despite a sprinkling of votes for other players, Myha’la became the second casualty of the episode. “I have loved getting to know you all,” she said as she confirmed her faithful status to the other players.

Hart became even more suspicious of Fry, however, after realising the mathematician had orchestrated events to make Myha’la’s behaviour at the crypt look less innocent. “Miss Marple is so on,” Hart said with a smile.

Later, the traitors met in the turret, and debated who their next victim should be, settling on a shortlist of Blunt, Ramsey and Croft.

Acaster had a characteristically unique reason for voting James Blunt. “It would make my life easier,” he said, “because every time someone says ‘James’, I’m turning around, and half the time, it’s for him”.
