The Traitors UK is back for 2025!

After the cast of the second season blew us away, we've all been chomping at the bit for more treachery, deceit and drama hosted by the iconic Claudia Winkleman. At the start of 2024 hearts around the UK broke when we saw Harry fool his co-star, and best friend on the show, Molly in order to single-handedly win the £95k.

Harry was loved and hated by the nation in equal parts with some praising his ability to play the game so flawlessly and others shocked at how easily he threw his co-stars under the bus. But, could someone pull it off again?

And now, a whole new group of contestants have graced our screens with the backdrop of the stunning Scottish Highlands in the hopes of winning an enormous cash prize.

Here are all the details you need on the third series of The Traitors UK.
