THE TRAITORS CONCLUDES WITH PEAK OF NEARLY 7 MILLION VIEWERS

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological reality competition where 22 strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000.

The Traitors Series 2 final peaked at 6.9m, with an average of 5.5m and a 33.5% share. Making it the most watched programme on TV in UK in last week (since Monday)

The Traitors: Uncloaked received 3.1m with a 26.6% share, peaking at 3.2m and over 7 times the BBC Two slot average.  Series 1 final reached 3.1m in 2022. 

Harry said “I just won 95 grand! Mollie basically is the reason I am here, I need to gain her trust back, I don’t know if that will be possible, but I am going to try my hardest I promise you that...

"My family know I am a good guy, to everyone else, if you don’t think I am a good guy – I promise you I am. I came here for my family, my loved ones, they are my motivation, they are the reason I go on in life, and I can’t wait to be able to ring them and be like ‘I’ve just won 95 grand!’ it makes me so excited.

“I feel like I can breathe, cause I am me again, I am Harry again… I underestimated this massively, you come here and there is 22 amazing people, and from the off I have been a Traitor, I’ve had enough of being naughty and being bad because that was next level!”

The Traitors will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for a third series and applications are now open for those who wish to play the game.
