  • Presenter Claudia Winkleman announced that one of the 19 contestants would be dead by the end of the day from poison planted the night before.
  • Faith, alongside Lucy Beaumont and Niko Omilana, was made to lie in a coffin at a cemetery, with competitors debating who the murdered faithful could be.
