The Traitors Ireland fans were left ‘cackling’ after Sunday’s episode, which saw contestants go sheep spotting.

The episode saw the group split into three teams, with each of them given a picture of a sheep. One team member in the pen was then tasked with finding and relaying the competitor’s name on that sheep’s jacket.

Designed to test their communication and observation skills, members of the group hilariously mistook what they were seeing as Dalmatians, zebras, spots, and stripes as the animals ran at speed. Ian even described the challenge as ‘one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.’

The laughing soon stopped when €2,000 was added to the prize pot, taking the total to €12,900. Contestants were also offered the chance to compete for a shield.

Meanwhile, Saoirse was murdered, raising suspicions amongst Faithfuls.

Following her departure, Fionula received the most votes and was also subsequently axed from Slane Castle, with her fellow Traitors Carla and Páraic K throwing her under the bus.

While Fionula’s departure was met with cheers when she dramatically revealed she was a Traitor, Carla and Páraic K weren’t half as smart when show host Siobhán McSweeney put them on a murdering hiatus.

Instead, the pair were tasked with sentencing three pairs for a stint on death row, with one of the six due to be murdered in the following episode.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement after last night’s episode.

‘I’m howling, if even cackling,’ one viewer penned on social media, while more were quick to praise Carla, saying she’s getting more and more entertaining by the day.’
