The Traitors star Jasmine has opened up about the sexism row engulfing the BBC show.

Jasmine was banished in the last roundtable before the final tonight, and appeared on The Traitors: Uncloaked alongside Zack, who was also booted out the show tonight thanks to the Traitors, who 'murdered' him and made him their last victim.

The pair appeared on the spin-off show and podcast tonight where they discussed their game plans, who they thought the Traitors might be and their feelings on the series on the show so far, as Jasmine shared her wish to have been a Traitor.

Asked how they thought they'd fare being Traitors, Jasmine said: "It's a bit of a boys club isn't it? Men only! But I personally think that I would have been a good Traitor and I did actually want to be a Traitor going on there.

"They have such control over the game and I think, there was a trend of Traitors being larger than life outside the roundtable and quiet in the roundtable, but I wasn't like that, I was kind of both. I just broke the mould of how a Traitor would behave and I don't think anyone would have suspected me unless your name was Zack."

Ahead of the series, Jasmine admitted she had a game plan, as she explained: "I do have a game plan per se, but it kind of chops and changes. I think my game plan is to just be myself. I think the people that have done well on the show before are people that have their own personality laced within what they’re trying to do. So, I’m not going to try and make up this fake persona and try to be someone else. I think the biggest game plan would be to try and befriend and betray. However, I’m not going to do it to the extent that I upset people and make them want to eliminate me. It’s got to be subtle."

And asked how far she'd go as a Traitor - if she had ended up being one - Jasmine admitted nothing would be off limits. She said: "But within the game, I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t do. If I have to eliminate someone, if I have to steal the big pot of money, that’s absolutely fine. I know that in the last series, when Wilfred made it to the end, he actually just really struggled with the whole idea. He’d built himself up for three weeks but when it got to crunch time, he felt really guilty. I think I’d be ok."
