The Traitors season 4 is now in full swing, with players dropping like flies as the banishments and murders commence.
Claudia Winkleman is back to oversee the latest game, picking three traitors in the traditional manner, before throwing in an additional Secret Traitor – whose identity is likely to be revealed next week.
For the first three episodes, this mystery individual has robbed the traitors of their usual smugness, as they have been allowed to dictate who is up for murder each night.
That's about to change, however, after Stephen and Rachel put themselves in harm's way to reclaim power from their reclusive silent partner, who is now due to join them in the turret for the very first time.

HarrietStephenJudyRossEllieNettyFionaJessieRachelAmandaHugoJadeSamAdamReeceMazFaraazRoxyMatthewJackBenJamesHarriet
Age: 52
Job: Crime writer and former barrister
Location: London
The Traitors is "one of the very few" reality shows that Harriet reckons she has the skill set for, having worked as a criminal barrister and now a crime writer.
"I spend my life making up horrible ways for people to die and killing people on the page," she said.
"The idea that I might get to actually plot to kill people or to track down a murderer, but, you know, without actual blood being shed, it's the closest that I'd get to that experience in real life. So quite honestly, what's not to like?"
Stephen
Age: 32
Job: Cyber security consultant
Location: London
Stephen loves The Traitors, so much so that he has been re-watching past seasons to get into the headspace and "examine the certain things that people have done that were so normal to them but others found weird."
Judy
Age: 60
Job: Child Liaison Officer
Location: Doncaster
Judy applied for The Traitors because she thought she could do it and saw it as a "great opportunity to do it at [her] time of life".
She added: "I just think that the whole experience will be incredible, and I will never, ever experience anything like this again."
Ross
Age: 37
Job: Sales exec and personal trainer
Location: London
After some of his clients started talking about The Traitors, Ross applied for the show on a whim.
Asked what he thinks he'll bring to the show, Ross said: "I like to think I'm a good judge of character. I think it'll be a fun, interesting adventure, and a cool opportunity, I'm actually really excited."
Ellie
Age: 33
Job: Psychologist
Location: London
For Ellie, she finds The Traitors to be "so psychologically interesting" and enjoys "analysing what everyone's doing and thinking through why they're convinced that they know something, when to the viewer, they're quite clearly wrong" when watching the show.
It was from that, she knew she "had to get involved" and understand the game for herself.
Netty
Age: 42
Job: Nursery school teacher
Location: Glasgow
Netty thinks The Traitors is "one of the most amazing games" someone could play, and wanted to do something for her and to have fun.
She explained: "Purely selfish reasons, but I just wanted to have some fun and do something that allowed me to get a little bit of myself back. I like delving into people and finding out about them, so I am excited to meet everyone and get to know them."
Fiona
Age: 62
Job: Local government officer
Location: Swansea
Fiona has never applied for anything like The Traitors before, but decided to take the leap as she enjoys watching the show.
She explained: "I think it's the most authentic reality TV show, and I'm not big into reality TV. I think because it's a game which requires a lot of tact and a lot of psychological manoeuvres, it just appealed to me."
Jessie
Age: 28
Job: Hairstylist
Location: Hull
Jessie applied for The Traitors to challenge herself and allow her to meet new people.
"I know it will test me," she said. "Which is good and what I need."
Rachel
Age: 42
Job: Head of communications
Location: County Down
Rachel has played the game Mafia for 15 years and is a competitive person "through and through", and so she thought to give The Traitors a go.
She said: "I will do anything to win. Nothing's off the table. I'm very good at knowing the difference between reality and a game."
Amanda
Age: 57
Job: Retired police detective
Location: Brighton
Amanda was immediately drawn to the game when she first watched The Traitors and thought it was something she could win.
Having been a detective, she has done lots of interviews with criminals and victims, and is able to "put the pieces together to find the truth and see through the lies".
She added: "To be a Traitor, you have to be good at lying, have a good poker face and be a master of deflection to prevent you being identified. I’ve learned a lot about being deceptive, devious and cunning.
"On the other side of the coin, I am a good person, and I became a police officer to help people. You have to be nice and calm, even when there's a big storm around you. I’d bring all these skills into the game, whichever role I am assigned."
Hugo
Age: 51
Job: Barrister
Location: London
Hugo is admittedly "obsessed with The Traitors" and has seen every episodes across the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand formats, adding that he finds it to be "such a fascinating game".
He said: "I’m a barrister so I talk to juries, but they go off and make the decisions in a quiet room so I never get to see it, but this, you just think, how could you be so wrong? I can't take my eyes off it, I love it."
Jade
Age: 25
Job: PhD Student
Location: West Midlands
Jade plays a lot of video games which are similar to The Traitors so she thought "why would I not?" when she had the chance to apply for the show.
Sam
Age: 34
Job: Account manager
Location: North Yorkshire
Sam has been a big fan of The Traitors, describing the show as "a breath of fresh air and authentic fun, but also a tonne of emotions, gameplay and competitiveness".
He explained: "It really kind of suits my character and I'm at the stage in my life now where I just want to have as many amazing experiences as possible. I applied on a whim, and then suddenly we're here."
Adam
Age: 34
Job: Builder
Location: Essex
Adam loves a contest and the thought of being able to outthink people excites him, and he's ready to win the game.
"That's it, simple," he said. "I'll play whatever hand I need to play and that's it."
Reece
Age: 27
Job: Sweet shop assistant
Location: Sheffield
Reece has always been competitive and signed up for the show, because how many people can say they've been on The Traitors?
"I don’t think I’ve done anything in my life which is so unique, and because I also have that competitive edge, I’m excited to see what I’m able to do," he explained.
Maz
Age: 59
Job: Civil servant
Location: Preston
Maz loves the essence of The Traitors, whether it be the missions, the conversations or the relationships made in the game, and so he applied.
"I'm 59 and I've done various things in my life, so I feel as though I've got good life experience," he added.
"I'm told that I'm good to get on with and I'm funny - my kids say I'm funny looking. I think I can bring some humour, some chilled out moments, some interesting thoughts, and I think I will be able to add to the jigsaw of the game."
Faraaz
Age: 22
Job: Internal auditor
Location: Middlesbrough
Faraaz applied for The Traitors as he is a "huge fan" and after watching series one, he thought it would be something he'd love to be part of and immerse himself in.
Roxy
Age: 32
Job: Recruiter
Location: Amsterdam
The first six years of Roxy's life were rocky and, for her, having lived experiences of adapting to different situations, meeting new people and figuring out who to trust she believes will take her really far on the show.
Matthew
Age: 35
Job: Creative director
Location: Edinburgh
Matthew's new year's resolution was to have more adventures and while he meant more hiking, canoe trips and camping, he also gave a chance on applying for The Traitors.
Jack
Age: 29
Job: Personal trainer
Location: Essex
Jack is a "massive fan" of The Traitors and wanted to do something that meant he'd have to step outside of his comfort zone.
Whether it's a mission or the roundtable, Jack believes you need to be "so switched on regardless of whether you're a Traitor or a Faithful".
"It just takes one slip up and you could be gone," he said. "You've got to be so locked in both physically and mentally."
Ben
Age: 66
Job: Retired
Location: Hampshire
Ben was "intrigued" after watching The Traitors, having never seen anything like it.
"I was taken in totally and kept saying it's like Columbo and Agatha Christie looking for Judas Iscariot."
James
Age: 38
Job: Gardener
Location: Weymouth
James didn't start watching The Traitors until the second season "because people nagged [him]".
He has a desire to play the game well, and is joining the show "with a passion for the game and sort of geeky vibes".
"It's like a beautiful lovechild of Midsomer Murders and poker," he said.
