Miles was given the task of trying to get a Faithful to drink from the chalice and as he returned to the bar area, it became all too clear that his sights were firmly set on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/traitors-hannah-diary-diane-ross-playing-fire-exclusive\/\">Diane<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Harry said: \u201cThe person we murdered tonight is the person I was going to bring up in the turret anyway. It was someone that\u2019s actually a really big character, someone that people love and it\u2019s another spanner in the works.\u201d<\/p> <p>Evie, Miles and Diane went to get some more wine but ultimately, the drink choice would be Diane\u2019s undoing. As Miles pretended he wanted regular ros\u00e9, Diane admitted that she\u2019d take the fizzy version of the wine from him. The swap was made but the episode abruptly ended so the future of Diane hangs in the balance until next week\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s safe to say that the public have been going wild over the cliffhanger, with viewers worrying about Diane\u2019s fate. One viewer posted a gif of a crying Rylan, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrismegrath\/status\/1745930193363955720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">writing on X<\/a> (formerly known as Twitter): \u201cBegging they timed out killing her I BEG.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BRATTYBARBl\/status\/1745929365861417231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1745929365861417231%7Ctwgr%5Ea9d1b15a732da608e699756c9573ad7b7e88aa65%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fradiotimes.production.wcp.imdserve.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another viewer<\/a> pointed out that the fact we\u2019ve been left on a cliffhanger could actually point to a more iconic plot twist.
