The Traitors: Last News

Fans of The Traitors appear to have already picked their winner, and are hoping he'll win "solo", after Wednesday's edition of the thrilling BBC show saw fan-favourite Diane 'murdered' and Traitor Miles uncloaked and banished. The unexpected development came after his fellow Traitor Paul orchestrated the discovery of his poisoning, something which lead to Miles being voted out of the Scottish castle. As the players thanked Paul for revealing Miles as a Traitor, Paul broke down in tears and put on an Oscar- worthy show - however, fellow Traitor Harry wasn't impressed.

The Traitors star Ross Carson has become one of the most composed contestants on the show with his easygoing nature and openness, despite having to subtly say goodbye to his team player and mum Diane. During Wednesday night's eerie episode (17 January) viewers were left "heartbroken" as Diane left the show after drinking from the 'poisoned chalice' that was handed over to her by Traitor Miles during a secret mission.

If there's a stand-out star from series two of The Traitors, it's Diane Carson - the 63-year-old retired teacher who's charmed fans with her no-nonsense attitude on the show, her secret family relation to fellow contestant Ross and her abrupt copper bob. Viewers of the BBC One show watched last night as Diane became the latest of the Faithful contestants to be 'killed' by the Traitors in the game, being 'murdered' in plain sight by Miles in a fittingly camp fashion - with a glass of fizzy rosé. While the fan-favourite loved filming the show over several weeks, she revealed in an exclusive chat with OK! that her friends grew concerned during her time away - as she'd left her husband to respond to her texts.

Since The Traitors kicked off earlier this month, we've been getting to know the contestants hoping to walk away with the huge cash prize.Traitor Harry Clarke, a 22 year old British Army engineer from Slough, is one of the youngest competitors hoping to reach the final by lying and manipulating the Faithfuls. But Harry isn't new to the spotlight - he's dating CBBC presenter Anna Maynard, who hosts the show Got What It Takes.

As The Traitors kicked off a thrilling third week on Wednesday evening, the Faithfuls were dealt a brutal blow following the loss of Diane after she was secretly given a poisoned chalice. However in a further blow, tensions began spiralling following the murder, as Traitor Paul turned on Miles and threw his fellow Traitor under the bus to save his own skin.

After last week’s nail biting cliffhanger that saw The Traitor ’s star Diane’s fate hanging in the balance, viewers at home finally revealed the truth about her fate during Wednesday’s episode. The 63 year old from Lancashire looked set to be killed during last week’s finale, when Traitor Miles was tasked with murdering the next Faithful with a ‘poisoned chalice’. Whoever drank from the goblet would be sent home from the competition, but in a surprising twist the episode ended on a cliffhanger that showed the goblet in Diane’s hand - but crucially didn’t show the star drinking from it.

As BBC’s The Traitors returns to our screens tonight in another undoubtedly nail-biting episode,OK! exclusively spoke with ex-military contestant Jonny, who shared his thoughts on his fellow contestants and gave the inside scoop on the show. Jonny, 31 from Bedfordshire, played the role of a Faithful in the competition but was sadly banished by his fellow contestants in dramatic scenes which aired last week.

Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has shared a behind-the-scenes look at The Traitors US, which she's starring in. The Love Island 2022 winner is joined on the show by former Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow, Bling Empire's Kevin Kreider, RuPaul's Drag Race star Peppermint, and a number of stars from the Real Housewives franchise.

The Traitors is back on our screens for another week of deception and lies, but amongst the shocking twists and turns of the series so far, there has remained one constant – Claudia Winkleman’s wellies. Each week we – and everyone else watching – have been obsessing over the host’s chic country-ready outfits, and amongst the array of oversized knits, tailored coats and skinny jeans, her black Hunter wellies reign supreme as the understated hero of her cosy outdoor ensembles.

BBC game show, The Traitors.Winkleman hosts the popular reality contest, which involves a group of contestants called “Traitors” who must secretly murder other contestants, without getting caught and banished by the rest of the players, known as “Faithfuls”.The show’s second season is currently airing on BBC One, with new episodes out from Wednesday to Friday, with at least one contestant exiting the show each episode, either through murder’ or ‘banishment.Some viewers have noticed that so far in this series, the Traitors seem to be mainly eliminating female contestants, as well as older people.Winkleman was a guest on Woman’s Hour on BBC Radio 4 today, where she responded to a question from a listener named Harriet, read out by host, Emma Barnett, which asked “Why is it that all the people that get murdered by the Traitors are all women bar one? And secondly, why are the Traitors so ageist? One of them [Traitors] was a woman and a bit older, so they murdered her straight away.”This refers to the only female Traitor, Ash, who was banished by the contestants, with votes also being surprisingly cast by her fellow Traitors.Winkleman responded: “Well, I mean, correct, Harriet. And I would like to sit down with Harriet and have quite a few conversations about it.”She continued: “I don’t want to say anything, because what if people haven’t watched? So I’m not going to say any names.”As of January 17, three female contestants have been murdered and two have been banished.“But yeah, it’s problematic,” Winkleman added.

The Traitors has become one of the most gripping TV series as we eagerly watch the game unfold with round table bluffs and tricky challenges, but for some, it can be a chance to turn their lives around. Last year's winner, Hannah Byczkowski said her "life changed" after winning the hit BBC show alongside Meryl Williams and Aaron Evans.Their triumphant win saw each of them walk away with £30,000 after Wilfred 'Wilf' Webster was busted at the very last hurdle following his sneaky tactics throughout the game as a Traitor during the first series in 2022.

Traitors fans have predicted a massive twist in the BBC murder mystery that could save a major fan favourite. In Friday's episode, viewers were left on a cliffhanger as Diane was handed a poison chalice that will eliminate her if she drinks from it. Claudia set the Traitors the tricky task of committing murder in plain sight, making the three secret assassins discuss who they were planning to eliminate and getting them to drink from a poison chalice.

The Traitors returned to our screens last week for a nail-biting second series where viewers were introduced to 22 new contestants hoping to survive the ultimate game of deception and take home a cash prize of up to £120,000. To coincide with the show’s return, OK! spoke exclusively with series one sensation Amanda Lovett to get the inside scoop and expert commentary on all the drama.

The Traitors star John McManus has admitted to kicking and punching staff at a restaurant in an unprovoked attack in May 2023. John, 51, starred in the first series of the hit BBC reality TV show and appeared in a total of five episodes before being 'murdered' by his co-stars.The spa therapist and actor also had small roles in EastEnders, Taggart and Taboo. CCTV footage shows the moment John attacked a 62 year old waiter at a swanky seafood and champagne restaurant last year.

Whether you’re team Traitors or team Faithfuls, there’s one thing viewers of BBCs The Traitors can agree on – Claudia Winkleman’s outfits are what dreams are made of. Despite the series being filmed at the end of summer (contestants are often spotted in T-shirt and shorts commenting on the heat), Claudia’s stylist was two steps ahead when she was planning her outfits, dressing her in some seriously enviable winter-appropriate looks that have got us all clamouring for details during each episode.

The second series of The Traitors is currently on our screens and has gripped viewers yet again after the success of the first season. Throughout the show, a select few 'Traitors' picked by presenter Claudia Winkleman 'murder' one Faithful every night so they can try and walk away with all of the £120,000 prize pot earned in the team's daily missions. In turn, at round tables each evening, the whole group votes individually to 'banish' one of the cast members, hoping that they will discover it was a Traitor to whom they gave their marching orders.

The Traitors fans have worked out Paul's "villain origin story" after discovering his previous TV appearance. Before joining the cast of The Traitors, Paul made an appearance on the popular gameshow Deal or No Deal, then hosted by Noel Edmonds, but it didn't go entirely how he likely wanted.

The Traitors began last week, and, only three episodes in, the contestants are already starting to turn on each other and cause drama.However, the mind-games, deceiving and sabotaging required in the show will likely have psychological effects, say experts.The programme, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, involves a group of 22 ordinary people. Of the group, some are selected to be ‘traitors’ who must lie to the others, hide their identity and try and sabotage the rest of the group’s chance at winning the prize fund, all while trying to not get caught.

One of TV's most gripping series has returned, and it's already brought some serious shade from some of The Traitors. One contestant that fans were sad to see go was Sonja, 66, who looked dramatically different before appearing on the BBC show, following her staggering five-stone weight loss. Sonja became the first star to be banished from the castle after her co-stars wrongly suspected her to be a Traitor.

Following on from his heartbreaking banishment on episode four of The Traitors, newly eliminated Faithful Brian revealed he had undertaken a very special tribute to the show to commemorate his participation in the exciting experience. Appearing on The Traitors: Uncloaked, Brian opened up about how it felt to be axed from the series as he admitted that the ‘sheep’ label he had been given during a recent mission had really stuck with him.

The Traitors has become one of the standout reality shows of the past decade.Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the series sees 22 contestants compete for a prize fund worth up to £120,000 at a castle in the Scottish Highlands.As they arrive at the castle, a small number are selected to be “Traitors” who have to eliminate the “Faithful” contestants to claim the prize. However, if the latter manage to work out and banish the deceitful contestants through daily roundtable meetings, they win the cash prize instead.Following a breakout debut season in 2022, the BBC has since renewed the show for a second and third season.AubreyThe first person to be murdered from this year’s series was Aubrey, after his observant and perceptive talents scared the Traitors.SonjaFollowing the murder of Aubrey, Sonja was banished in the first roundtable of the season.
