After the show’s breakout success in 2022, The Traitors made its return this year.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the reality series sees 22 contestants compete for a prize fund worth up to £120,000 at a castle in the Scottish Highlands.
When they arrive at the castle, a small number are selected to be “Traitors” who have to eliminate the “Faithful” contestants to claim the cash prize. However, if the latter manage to work out and banish all the deceitful contestants through daily roundtable meetings, they win the cash instead.
The first season, which debuted in November 2022, had been viewed over 34million times on BBC iPlayer by the end of February 2023.
