As the nights grow longer and temperatures drop, millions of viewers have been captivated by BBC One's The Celebrity Traitors. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman and starring Alan Carr, Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Charlotte Church, and Kate Garraway, the series has set new viewing records, with the debut episode attracting over 14 million viewers across all platforms.
Contestants build a prize pot by completing challenging tasks while a hidden group of Traitors among the Faithfuls attempts to deceive and “murder” their way to a charity jackpot of up to £100,000.
The eagerly awaited finale will be 70 minutes long, 10 minutes longer than earlier episodes. Some cinemas plan to screen the final, and themed parties are taking place nationwide. Fans often recreate the experience, with full-day Traitors games at gatherings. One TikTok user even rented a castle for their Traitors-themed event.
The show is filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland, which is only available for weddings or corporate events. However, many other UK stately homes and castles offer venues for fans to immerse themselves in Traitors or Narnia-inspired adventures.
