Season four has been pulling out all the stops this season, with the introduction of a Secret Traitor pulling all the strings.
At the start of the first episode, Claudia Winkleman did her usual thing and chose her three Traitors: barrister Hugo, 51, head of communications Rachel, 42, and cyber security consultant Stephen, 32.
But Claudia also chose another Traitor, whose identity not even the audience or the rest of the players know.
On last night’s episode, the cliffhanger saw James, Netty and Maz all in the shortlist to be murdered, and it was down to the Traitors to decide who would be leaving the castle first.

Who has been murdered or banished so far in The Traitors season 4?
Judy – Banished in episode 2
Judy became the first victim of The Traitors roundtable, as she received the most votes from the Faithful.
“It was incredible. I was pinching myself and thinking, is this really happening? It was just amazing,” Judy said of being on the show.
“Everyone was lovely. Such a range of people, a really different mix but what we all had in common was that we were all nervous. I thought, let’s just take it step by step and see how it’s going to go.”
Netty – Murdered in episode 2
Asked how it felt to be leaving the game so early on, Netty said: “Bittersweet. I didn’t have the time that I had hoped to have, but I think I’ve had the time I was meant to have. I’ve had the experience that it should have been for me, and I get to watch it as a viewer now, not knowing what’s going to come.”
Seasons 1-3 are available to watch on iPlayer now.
The Traitors season 4 continues on Saturday 3rd January at 7:45pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
