EASTENDERS star TAMEKA EMPSON was relieved to be chosen as a Faithful – as being a Traitor felt too stressful.
The soap actress was booted off the show in last night’s episode after she was wrongly accused of being a Traitor.
She admits it was “emotional” having to tell her castmates they made the incorrect call when declaring her real allegiance as she departed the game.
Speaking about how she was glad host CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN made her a Faithful, she said: “I think Claudia saw the faithfulness in me.
“And now I think about it, being a Traitor is a headache.
“It’s a lot of game playing, and you’re going to be up later than anybody else.

“I think it was right for me to be a Faithful, and I really wanted to be a great Faithful.
“I had plans to lead the Faithfuls to victory, but that was cut short.”
Show fan Tameka wasn’t expecting to leave quite so early but she enjoyed the experience nonetheless – especially the food.
She added: “I had a really great time. Scotland is beautiful and the castle is amazing.
“Oh my God, it was incredible. And, you know, we’re travelling in style in that iconic convoy of cars which I adored. I couldn’t get anybody to give me a key and I’m a very good driver.
“Anyway, that feeling as you drive up to the castle.
“It’s amazing when you watch it on TV, but in real life, it takes your breath away actually being there.
“And the breakfast table is everything that it was, you know, that’s a highlight.
“The breakfast is good. I tell you, the food was very lovely, and I think I might have put on a few little…let’s say one pound.”
