What is The Traitors prize? BBC show nears gripping conclusion in final week

After having the whole country talking over the last few weeks, much buzzed about BBC show The Traitors will soon be over, with at least one person taking home a huge sum of money.

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, The Traitors has proved to be utterly compelling viewing as a group of members of the public work together to build a prize pot, by taking part in a whole host of challenges, from being spun upside down on a ferris wheel, to being buried alive.

The big black cloud hanging over the whole affair is the fact that three of the team were chosen by Claudia on the first day of Traitors on the first day of filming. Since then, they have been meeting under the cover of darkness every night to decide which of the Faithfuls to 'murder', with the most shocking twist so far coming when Traitors Amanda and Wilf were ordered to murder in plain sight, with Amanda getting rid of Amos, who was given his marching orders on day one, only to be brought back as part of a huge twist.

There are just three episodes left to go of The Traitors, with the final set to air on BBC One on Thurssday, December 22.

What is The Traitors prize?

By the time of the final, the prize fund stands to be in the region of £120,000, the biggest prize for a BBC show for a long while. If the Faithfuls win the look set to split the money between them. However, if a Traitor or Traitors win, they can keep the money for themselves.

Although you wouldn't have predicted it at the start of the series, the overwhelming feeling on Twitter is that people are actually rooting for the Traitors to win, particularly Amanda, who has been branded a TV icon.
