Backstabbing, breakfast banishments and enough side-eye to last a lifetime, The Traitors has once again had the nation glued to their screens.
Hosted by the ever-iconic Claudia Winkleman and filmed in a misty Scottish Highlands castle, the show has turned everyday viewers into amateur detectives, conspiracy theorists and loyalty testers.
Now in its fifth series, the programme – often described as a high-stakes game of wink murder with a prize pot of up to £120,000 – has become appointment TV.
Naturally, the finale is not something to be watched alone on the sofa, which is why pubs and bars across south east London are hosting themed watch parties complete with quizzes, cocktails and fancy dress.
With help from events website Design My Night, we’ve rounded up the pubs showing The Traitors finale on Friday, January 23.
