If you’re feeling a particular Traitors-shaped hole in your lives right now, we have great news.
The Traitors season 3 is officially back very soon – and applications to join the hit reality TV show for season 4 (yes, that’s also happening) are now open, as well as a confirmed celebrity edition in the works. Could you be the next Harry? Could you and your mum be the next Diane and Ross?
Scroll on for everything we know about The Traitors season 3 so far.
What is The Traitors about?
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock the last couple of years – basically, a group of contestants hole up together in a castle in the Scottish Highlands, with Claudia Winkleman as the presenter of the show. Some of the contestants are secret “traitors”, who must eliminate others in the group without being detected by conspiring together. And whoever wins gets a £120,000 cash prize.
