When is BBC The Traitors on and how many episodes are there?

BBC's new series The Traitors has viewers hooked. The nail-biting game, which is presented by Claudia Winkleman, kicked off on Tuesday, November 29, with 22 contestants. The show, which is located in a castle in the Scottish Highlands, sees the players take on missions to put money in a prize pot.

However, in a huge twist, there are traitors hidden among them whose job is to secretly "murder" a player every night without getting caught. It's up to the others, the faithfuls, to try to detect who the traitors are and banish them from the game before they become their next victims.

Among the contestants in the original line-up is 54-year-old Amanda from Swansea. The estate agent is one of the three traitors picked by Claudia. You can read more about the Welsh player here.
