**Warning, spoilers for last night’s episode of The Traitors**
The Traitors star Kas has broken his silence on allegations that fellow contestants were ‘bullying’ him on the show.
The doctor has posted to Instagram to address the alleged rift between him and other contestants following last night’s explosive episode which saw him banished after having the heat on him for days.
In the roundtable that culminated in Kas being eliminated from The Traitors, he revealed that he felt isolated and unable to discuss the game with anyone.

This led many watching to take to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
One tweeted: “I feel so sorry for Kas though. They made him feel THAT uncomfortable and ostracised over a game!? It’s giving bullies.”
Another tweeted: “I can’t believe we lost Kas when he was literally being a nice man and so many of them were mean to him.”
A third said: “The treatment of Kas has genuinely been appalling.

“Proper high school stuff avoiding him and mocking him for the toast at breakfast! Someone get this man an apology.”
Kas was gracious in his first post since leaving the show, saying: “What an opportunity, and what amazing support you've all given me!
“But most of all, as a cast we were a family, together for weeks and made bonds that are unbreakable, and the support and love we have for each other is even greater.
“Joe and Jake may have led the charge against me in the game, but have been an excellent support in the real world and are some of the loveliest people I've met (and I've met a few!).

“Remember that all of us are people, and that we all act in different ways under stress. TRAITORS FAMILY FOREVER!!”
As he was leaving, Kas also left one final remark to get some payback for his treatment in the castle.
Before revealing he was a faithful, he hinted that he had correctly been found out saying: “I know it's just a game. And Joe, who would have thought you'd have caught me based on a twinkle in the eye? On the first roundtable I was selected to be a... Faithful!"
On the show’s spin-off talkback series, Kas revealed he had planned that remark due to ‘ridiculous allegations’ against him.

He said: “I already knew that I was going to do that.
“Because I had been levelled with so many ridiculous accusations and I was like: 'What's the stupidest thing that somebody has said to me so far about why I am a Traitor?'
“This all started from a twinkle in my eye. And I was like, where did that even...?
“How has that been the thing that has made me a Traitor?"
He may be done on The Traitors, but his response when accused of being a Traitor because he’s a doctor - ‘What, so you’re saying I’m some kind of Harold Shipman?’ - will live on.
