Furious Traitors fans complain to Ofcom over show final and slam treatment of star

TRAITORS fans are complaining to Ofcom after a fan-favourite player was banished before the winners were announced.

Last night, BBC One’s hit reality show, The Traitors, ended in the most epic way when two Faithfuls won equal shares of £94,000.

Jake and Leanne, both 28, went on to scoop the prize money after revealing they were both Faithful.

This came after an explosive episode that saw Traitor Charlotte booted out of the show before Alexander was banished, and Francesca was axed.

But it was Alexander’s banishing that really got fans riled up and angry.

Some fans were even quick to pen complaints to Ofcom – or so they claimed.

One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a screen grab of an Ofcom complaint form.

In the reason for their complaint, they wrote: “They’re being mean to Alexander.”

Someone replied “so real” to the tweet, clearly in agreement.

Another person agreed with complaining to Ofcom when they joked: “Alexander I am sorry these people can’t be trusted, i am contacting ofcom.”

A second person echoed: “I’m writing to OFCOM about the banishment of Alexander and Frankie so that the HEINOUS Leanne and Jake could win.”

FANS ‘COMPLAIN’ TO OFCOM

“How do i complain to ofcom on alexander’s behalf?” asked a third.

While a fourth swooned over him, writing: “The kindest, most unluckiest player we’ve seen on The Traitors, you did the country well Alexander!”

And a fifth sweetly penned: “Poor Alexander. Proof again that the good guys don’t always win. Gutted on his behalf.”

Alexander fast became a favourite on the hit BBC show, with many fans and viewers growing fond of the former British diplomat.

ALEXANDER’S GRATITUDE

Speaking to The Mirror after his Traitors stint, Alexander expressed his gratitude for all of the support and love he has received since appearing on the show.

How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?

The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.

Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.

How does it work?

It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.

The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.

The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.

While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).

Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition

Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.

The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors. 

The prize sees the winner could get £120K.

“I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve had during this,” he said.

“It was quite an intense process because I got off the train and then came back into the game only two and a half weeks ago.

“It’s been made so much more enjoyable because of all the support out there and I’m enormously grateful for it, it really means a lot,” he said.

Elsewhere in his chat with the publication, Alexander revealed his relationship status amid increased interest in him from women online.

“I am still single… I’ll probably leave it there,” he told the outlet.

Cork edge Meath in thrilling Division 2 opener as new rules add excitement to clash

CORK have had their opening-day struggles in the past decade but they got their Division 2 campaign off on the right foot with a four-point victory against Meath.

This was an open, entertaining game played under the new rules, although these two produced an equally exciting 3-14 to 0-19 encounter in the equivalent fixture two years ago.

Cork’s win was entertaining in the game played under the new rules

Colm O’Rourke got his managerial term off to a winning start that day but Robbie Brennan’s inter-county debut went the other way as Cork grabbed the goals this time through Matty Taylor and Chris Óg Jones, who finished with 1-4.

Cork manager John Cleary said: “There are a lot more scores. Under the old rules, it is unlikely we would have had that many scores.

“It is more enjoyable to coach. And it is more enjoyable to watch. And the players are loving it as well. It is a win-win.”

He added: “This is the first time since I’ve been involved in the last four years that we’ve won the first game so there’s relief in that.”

While the Rebels executed the majority of their chances, Meath missed far too many opportunities.

Brennan said: “You look at the numbers and I think it was 11 scoreable frees we conceded and then we’ve missed 19 opportunities.

“Huge frustration in the dressing room because we came down to win and we feel we’ve left that one behind us.”

In terms of the new rules, Cork scored the only two-pointer of the first half from a free outside the 40-metre arc.

But their failure to keep three players beyond the halfway line saw them penalised with a 14-metre free to level 0-11 apiece at the break.

Meath committed the same offence after the break with Mark Cronin taking the option to move the free back outside the 40-metre arc for a successful two-pointer.

Both sides pushed their goalkeeper forward throughout to manufacture 12-on-11 situations in the opposition half.

Adventurous Meath stopper Billy Hogan collected a couple of assists and had three shots at the posts, scoring one when spinning between two tacklers.

The teams traded points through the first quarter with impressive kicks from Mathew Costello, who ended with 0-10, and Jack Flynn before a Seán Coffey solo-and-go led to a handpassed point from Jordan Morris.

Cork trailed by one but slingshot into the lead with new free-taker Brian O’Driscoll splitting the posts from a free outside the arc.

There was space left in behind by players defending the arc and both teams almost exposed it before the break.

The threatening Morris had a shot on goal saved by Micheál Aodh Martin and Colm O’Callaghan cracked the woodwork after a smart one-two.

Cork’s first goal arrived in the 41st minute with wing-backs Seán Powter and Taylor combining for the latter to chip into the far corner.

It was 1-13 to 0-13 but Meath levelled for a 10th time with quickfire points from Shane Walsh, new captain Eoghan Frayne, and Hogan.

Cork reeled off the next 1-5 without reply, with the goal in the 57th minute. Hogan saved Jones’ first effort but he netted the rebound for a 2-18 to 0-16 lead.

Costello attempted a pair of late two-point frees, including one brought outside the arc after sub-keeper Patrick Doyle took too long over a kick-out, and scored one, but they couldn’t get within touching distance.

CORK: MA Martin; M Shanley, D O’Mahony, N Lordan; S Powter, R Maguire, M Taylor 1-0; S Walsh, C O’Callaghan; P Walsh 0-1, E McSweeney, B O’Driscoll 0-6 (2f, 1tpf); M Cronin 0-7 (5f, 1tpf), C Óg Jones 1-4, S McDonnell.

Subs: P Doyle for Martin 52, C O’Mahony 0-1 for McDonnell 52, D Cashman for Powter 62, É Desmond for S Walsh 66, T Walsh for McSweeney 70+1.

MEATH: B Hogan 0-1; A O’Neill, S Lavin, D Keoghan; E Harkin 0-2, S Coffey, C Caulfield; J Flynn 0-1, B Menton; K Curtis, S Walsh 0-2, J Kinlough; J Morris 0-4, M Costello 0-10 (5f, 1tpf), E Frayne 0-1.

Subs: B O’Halloran for O’Neill 50, C Duke for Curtis 54, J Conlon for Walsh 56, R Jones for Frayne 61, S Rafferty for Caulfield 61.

Referee: D O’Mahony (Tipperary).

Bruno Fernandes calls on Man Utd team-mates to ‘show some balls’ and says he AGREES on Amorim’s ‘worst side ever’ blast

BRUNO FERNANDES backed Ruben Amorim’s blast at his stumbling stars and stressed: You’ve got to have the balls to play for Manchester United.

Boss Amorim caused a storm last week when he branded United’s fall-guys the worst side in the club’s history.

He later admitted he went too far — yet Fernandes reckons he was bang on.

And the Red Devils skipper said: “The reality is to play here you have to have that pressure, you have to have the balls to play for this club — that is what it is.

“You have to feel that in every moment in every game it is a new chance to bring us back to the position we deserve.

“Unfortunately for us this season there have been too many ups and downs and every time we look like getting there, we get punched again and go down.

“What we have to do is every time we take a punch and go down, we must get up and try to punch back.”

Fernandes certainly did that with his last-gasp winner in a dramatic Europa League clash with Rangers on Thursday.

And he admitted Amorim’s outburst after last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Brighton inspired him to those final-second heroics.

Fernandes added: “I don’t want to hear my manager saying certain things about the team because I know he doesn’t feel it.

“But he made himself part of that and when the manager makes himself part of what he’s saying, no one can get angry or disappointed by it.

“When he says ‘the worst team in Manchester’, he speaks about the position we are in and when you look at where we are in the league we ARE in the worst position we’ve ever been.

“So you have to take it, that’s the reality unfortunately. We are in this position for a  long time and the club doesn’t belong there.

“But we have to accept that and understand we need to push ourselves to much bigger things and higher positions.”

Man Utd ratings: Bruno Fernandes captain fantastic in last-gasp win but Harry Maguire asleep in dreadful cameo

MANCHESTER UNITED all but sealed automatic qualification to the last 16 of the Europa League thanks to a last-gasp win over Rangers.

The Red Devils welcomed the Scottish giants to Old Trafford in the penultimate group match of their European campaign on Thursday night.

And they took a giant step towards a top-eight finish thanks to a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

A calamitous own second-half goal from Gers stopper Jack Butland broke the deadlock.

Cyriel Dessers thought he’d rescued a point for the visitors in the 88th minute before Bruno Fernandes broke the hearts of the travelling Teddy Bears four minutes later.

SunSport’s Ken Lawrence was in attendance for the Battle of Britain and is on hand to rate and slate the performances of Ruben Amorim‘s side.

Altay Bayindir – 7

The Turk is a better keeper than No 1 Andre Onana, especially dealing with corners.

Took a sore one colliding with Toby Collyer showing exactly that.

Leny Yoro – 5

The £52m central defender was deployed on the right side of Rubin Amorim’s three-man rearguard.

Youngster was shaky at times but looked better when he had the ball.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4

Terrible early touch stranded Toby Collyer – Nicolas Raskin’s even worse touch let him off the hook.

Hooked at the break – no surprise there, although Amorim said afterwards that he “felt something”.

Lisandro Martinez – 5

Once known as The Butcher of Amsterdam but he’s long lost that scary presence.

Another one who doesn’t look happy in the new system.

Amad Diallo – 7

Looks a bit different these days since his tough time on loan at Rangers three years ago.

Not on wonder-boy form this time but still a threat.

Toby Collyer – 6

Made his first appearance on a European stage and the boy done good.

The 21 year old is a very decent emerging midfielder.

Christian Eriksen – 6

Turns 33 next month and his legs aren’t really up to playing in centre midfield.

He’s always been a creator anyway but he dug in.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Started out on his wrong foot as a left wing back.

Switched midway through the second half and looked far more comfortable.

Bruno Fernandes – 9

You wonder if he drives himself as mad as he must do his manager at times. But scored a fantastic winner.

Joshua Zirkzee – 4

Ruben. He’s NOT a centre-forward.

Whatever £36m bought, it wasn’t a natural striker and it’s unfair to be playing him up there on his own.

Alejandro Garnacho – 8

Busy and focused – didn’t look like any talk of being sold to Chelsea was bothering him.

On this sparkling evidence United would be mad to let him go anywhere.

SUBS
Maguire (for De Ligt 46) 3 Totally asleep for Rangers’ equaliser.

Malacia (for Yoro 56) 5 : Looking happier now injury worries over

Ugarte (for Collyer 73) 5 : Put in a solid short spell.

Mainoo (Eriksen 73) 5 : Added strength and mobility.

Hojlund (for Zirkzee 82) 5 : Ran about a bit – he’s good at that.

Bruno Fernandes wants to bring back Fergie Time at Man Utd and calls on team-mates to show some ‘belief’

BRUNO FERNANDES wants to lead Manchester United into a new era of last-gasp Fergie Time heroics.

And if he does, it will answer the one question which had him stumped after his midweek Europa League late supershow: Whether Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim wears a watch.

In two triumphant decades under Sir Alex Ferguson, even those with only a passing interest in football had no doubt.

Barely a week went by without football’s greatest gaffer very publicly checking his wrist to make a point about stoppage time — and so often it ended with a late goal for United.

There has been precious little of it in the decade since Ferguson’s final farewell — but now playmaker  Fernandes has made it his mission to bring them back under the latest man to fill Fergie’s boots.

There have already been murmurings of it in just 16 games with the Portuguese manager in charge — five late-show strikes, in fact.

And after his 92nd-minute goal to beat Scottish giants Rangers made him the latest name on the list — in every respect — Fernandes knew the subject of United’s stoppage-time history was coming.

As a keen student of the club’s past, yes, of course he was well aware of Fergie Time.

But no, there hadn’t been enough of it under Amorim for him to know if his boss even had a watch, never mind had cause to check it in front of any watching official.

Yet as he vowed to turn grand finales from exception to the norm once more, he will not be in the dark for much longer.

It might not be good for the nerves, but that is part of the deal for any club with pretensions of greatness. And United certainly have plenty of them.

Fernandes, 30, admitted: “I think that, ever since I have been at this club, that has always been a part of things.

“We always talk about Sir Alex’s time, you know, when he looks at his watch and United will grab a goal for sure.

“I don’t know if the manager has a watch to look at, but obviously we need to have that belief and even more like this — because we knew we still had two or three minutes to play.

“So you have to try and go forward to get one because you  can only win games where you’re at this club — nothing less is expected of you.

“Of course,  we know we are not in the position this club was many, many years ago and have a long, long way to go as a team — but we are on our path.

“We know it won’t be as easy as they made it look, because obviously they had great players in the past at this club and a great manager who led the club to many trophies.

“But we have to make our own way. And as tough as it is, and as difficult as it can be, we are going to fight for this club to try and make it back.”

In fairness, United have come up with the goods in the dying embers of the game more than once this season.

Admittedly, not quite so dramatically as against  Rangers —  but late enough nonetheless at Manchester City and Liverpool and at home to struggling Southampton in the Premier League.

All thanks to Ivory Coast winger Amad Diallo,  as well.

Oh, plus a late winner over Czech side Viktoria Plzen from Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund a fortnight before Christmas.

It’s the games in between that have been the problem, powder-puff defeats to the likes of Wolves, Bournemouth and Brighton.

The last of them finally pushed Amorim over the edge, as the affable gaffer gave way to a steam-coming-out-of-his-ears attack dog.

So furious that he smashed a television on the dressing-room wall and slammed his flops as the worst United team in history.

When the red mist cleared, Amorim relented and admitted maybe he should have taken a breath before sounding off.

Yet far from taking the huff, Fernandes was right behind his fellow countryman.

He added: “I am pretty sure it was in a moment of rage.

“I am Portuguese and I know that pretty quickly the blood comes up, so it’s just in that moment.

“I was here with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, one of the calmest people I’ve met, and he had this sometimes, too.

“As a manager you depend on the results and sometimes you need to have these kinds of words to your players.

“It wasn’t anything out of context — or something we didn’t deserve in  the moment.”

The challenge now is to make sure there is no cause for them again…
