Tameka Empson was "emotional" after being banished from The Celebrity Traitors.
The EastEnders star was banished from Ardross Castle after her castmates on the BBC reality show wrongly accused of her being a Traitor and she found it tough telling them they had made the incorrect call in Wednesday's (15.10.25) episode.
Speaking on spin-off show The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, Tameka said: "I think Claudia (Winkleman) 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."
Tameka was disappointed to leave so early but thoroughly enjoyed her time in the Scottish castle - with the food a particular highlight.
The 48-year-old actress said: "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."
Tameka added: "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."
The episode also saw the murder of Tom Daley and the Olympic diver was "gutted" to become the second victim of Traitors Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr.
Seeing the note informing him of his murder, the 31-year-old sports star said: "Oh dear. Look at that. Well that didn't take long did it?
"I am gutted to be leaving the game. I think I was murdered because people will see me as a threat and they think I'll weasel them out eventually.
"Now I guess I'll go and do one final dive into my grave."
