Celebrity Traitors

What Is The Traitors?

The Traitors UK is a reality TV competition on BBC One that involves 22 players, some of which are playing as traitors, the others as faithfuls. It is the traitor’s job to ‘murder’ their fellow faithfuls as they aim to keep their identity hidden. Those playing as faithful must work together to get out who they believe to be a traitor. If they succeed the grand prize will be theirs, however, if any traitors remain at the end of the game the money will be theirs.

It takes place in the grounds of a historic Scottish castle giving the show a dramatic, intense and creepy vibe. It is hosted by Claudia Winkleman who truly brings The Traitors to life with her signature outfits, dramatic narration and just how obsessed she is with the show!

As the contestants battle it out at the round table with traitors in plain sight, this show is sure to grip you from the outset. With challenging missions, shields up for grabs, accusations, theories, ‘murders’ and a whole lot of deception – it is a show you do not want to miss. You can join in on the experience throughout by playing our Bingo game each week! With the ability to customise the card yourself or with our weekly updates, it’s a sure way to immerse yourself into the world of The Traitors.
