The Traitors is back! Prove you’re a faithful and laugh at these 22 first episode memes

The best reality show on telly at the minute is finally back on and I am so glad to see Claudia Winkleman serving in her assortment of knitwear and gloves on my screen again.

The first season of the show last year was literally a cultural phenomenon and changed lives forever. But the second season of The Traitors started last night and people are already HOOKED. The people of Twitter have already found their queen in Diane and I will be making her my personality for the foreseeable.

As always, the tweets, memes and reactions to the first episode are actually golden.

So, get proving your innocence and enjoy these 22 best memes about the first episode of The Traitors
