Read our privacy policy The Traitors viewers were left in shock after an unexpected moment that’s been called “the first TV moment” of 2025. *Spoilers follow – you have been warned* The latest episode saw Kasim targeted by both Jake and Joe, with the pair suggesting that Kasim’s profession as a life-saving doctor would provide the show with a good narrative if he was made a traitor and had to “kill” his fellow contestants after dark. Kasim, who is a faithful, was left dumbfounded by the claim that it would “make sense” for him to be a traitor, stating: “The fact that I have a job is not a reason to vote for me.” When Jake claimed he didn’t actually say that, Kasim replied: “Literally, you just said, ‘The doctor thing makes sense: you save lives during the day and you kill people by night.’ So you’re basically calling me Harold Shipman or something.” Kasim’s unexpected mention of the British doctor, who was nicknamed “Dr Death” after being convicted of murdering his patients, drew gasps from his contestants, with Alex telling him: “That’s a bit loaded, mate.” The reference to Shipman, Britain’s most prolific serial killer, left viewers equally as surprised. Absolute box office.” open image in gallery Kasim on ‘The Traitors’ An additional viewer chimed in: “Anyone have a Harold Shipman reference on Traitors on their bingo card?” with one more person calling it “the wildest thing I’ve heard in a while”.
