The Traitor's Claudia Winkleman gives 'crucial' update on new episodes as viewers on edge

Claudia Winkleman has delighted fans with a crucial' update on when they'll be able to watch more episodes of The Trairors, after the new show has become a huge talking point and left BBC viewers on tenterhooks for what's to come.

There was a lot of curiosity surrounding The Traitors when it launched on BBC One last week. Little was known about the programme, but its title alone was enough to draw plenty of interest,. The Traitors sees Strictly host Claudia show off a much more sinister side as the master of ceremonies for a back-stabbing high stakes game, involving members of the public competing for a potential cash prize of £100.,000.

The big twist is that three of the contestants were selected to be traitors, by Claudia, on the first day of filming. With her tapping the chosen few on the shoulder, while everyone was blindfolded, the only people who know the identity of the traitors are the traitors themselves.

The trio meet in secret every night to choose which of their co-stars to 'murder,' with that person then handed a letter informing them on their fate and being told to leave the castle immediately. As well as a murder being carried out everything, all of the contestants meet round a table to air their suspicions on who could be traitor, with the person with the most votes then eliminated, before revealing whether they are in fact a Traitor or a Faithful.

We'll not give too much away but so far, NO Traitors have been found out and the nightly meetings have proved to be very dramatic with heated clashes, fraught exchanges and even a walk out. The first three episodes all aired last week and, after watching them all, engrossed viewers were impatient for more.

Their prayers were answered y Claudia when she took to social media on Monday night to confirm that episodes 4, 5 and 6 of The Traitors will be on BBC this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with Tuesday's on at 9.15pm because of the football and the others all one at 9.

Her tweet on the next batch of episodes quickly received a huge reaction on Twitter, with one of her many followers replying: "Claudia you don’t have to remind me babes - I’ve been unable to think about anything else!" A second told her: "Best new tv show format for a long long time," with another commenting: "I’m on EDGE waiting for tonight’s episode."
