In Monday night’s episode of The Traitors Ireland, Faye became the latest player to be banished from Slane Castle.
Speaking after she was banished, Faye, who was a Faithful, said: “I’ve had such an amazing time here and meeting so many of you.
“I came in and I was so honest and it’s funny how it’s ending and really disheartening to know that this is how it ended when I thought I could trust some of you.
“I am a faithful,” she said crying as she walked out of the round table.
Wilkin was sensationally murdered on Monday night’s show by Nick and Ben.
Wilkin said: “Game over. I think I did really well to say this long. This experience has been once in a lifetime. It’s mid blowing, phenomenal but it’s real and I’m thankful to have the experience of it.”
But speaking afterwards, Traitors Nick and Ben opened up about Faye being voted out, while discussing Vanessa’s and Oyin’s fates.
On Monday night’s show, viewers also watched as Vanessa broke down crying as she opened up about coming to Ireland as a refugee during the players final banquet together.
“I grew up in Ireland in Direct Provision because I came in as a refugee,” said the 28-year-old content creator.
“I’ve had a really tough life. I had left Nigeria when I was six. We were in Direct Provision for about eight years, which is a pretty long time.
“I moved to America in 2015 on a sports scholarship for football. I was starting to become a pivotal art of the team but unfortunately, I tore my ACL.”
A month later, Vanessa suffered the devastating loss of her father.
“I was juggling losing my career and the loss of my dad at the same time. I think if I can get over really tough things, then I can do anything.”
Meanwhile, The Traitors Ireland star Joanna Masiarek has opened up about her tearful departure – saying she regrets calling the remaining players “mean girls”.
But in a teary goodbye after announcing she was a faithful all along, Joanna called the remaining girls a bunch of “mean girls”.
But speaking to The Irish Mirror, Joanna opened up about the dramatic moment, admitting she has also been trolled online ever since.
She said: “Like it’s very real when you’re there, and at the time, but at the end of the day, I love everybody to remember that it is a TV show but there are real people with real feelings.
“I wouldn’t like this comment (mean girls comment) to hurt anybody.
“I’m absolutely devastated seeing all the comments online today, and I’m heartbroken because I didn’t think that something that I said, that I felt at the moment will have such an impact.
“And like to be fair, I can’t even imagine how all of the girls are feeling, because even though I’m getting so many messages and horrible comments, so I can’t even imagine what they’re going through.
“But again, when you’re there, you’re just thinking about the present moment that you’re in.”
She said she has held “no grudges” since the show.
“I have no grudges to everybody like, and the thing is that it’s very real at the moment, like when you’re there and everything is going on, and obviously, hearing something that you’re not expecting because. it’s so against you and your beliefs – that hurts.
“But they are all wonderful people who remain there. There are no grudges. Everybody there are lovely.”
Joanna admitted she wouldn’t have done things any differently.
“I don’t think there was anything I could have done or say differently, because I did stay true to myself, and I always thought that like, if I’m going to be honest and saying exactly what I see, what I hear, that this will keep me in, because nobody’s going to be able to catch me or anything that wasn’t being true where unfortunately, words could be misconstrued.
“It all could be changed. People just could deny, like, sayings and certain things. So at some stage, there’s just no reasons for like, trying to go and prove something because the reality of it is, I believe that, like, people are going to the round table with their mindset.
“It doesn’t matter what you’re going to say, it doesn’t matter how good your speech going to be. And we saw that like a few times at the table. I actually think that the faithful are usually very good at their speeches, because they’re not lying.”
“It’s just people are going to the table and they know exactly who they’re going to go vote for. So I don’t really believe that, like there was anything I could have done or say differently.”
Elsewhere, Amy opened up about her murder on the show, saying she would’ve liked to be banished instead.
“To be honest, yeah I would’ve liked the iconic scene. The outfit was there, I was ready to go. I thought it was going to be me, and I just didn’t think that it would be Christine so soon, you know, she was just, she was so loved.
“But then, like, you know, obviously she was a major threat as well. So yeah, mine was a bit lacklustre in comparison, but she’s so iconic that I actually couldn’t see any other way either.
“I think she like, if anyone deserved a murder like that, it was like her (Christine).”
Amy admitted she has been enjoying the show as a spectator, saying it was “an instant relief”.
The Traitors Ireland finale airs on Tuesday night at 9.35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
