The Celebrity Traitors finale episode is almost upon us after an exciting series filled with drama, suspense and iconic moments. The star-studded series has aired on Wednesdays and Thursdays each week over the past month and is set to come to a dramatic end next week.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the celebrity edition of the popular TV show has seen a batch of famous faces make their way into the castle with the chance to prove themselves as either a Faithful or a Traitor.
The iconic game of deception and betrayal has featured a huge list of stars including actor and broadcaster Sir Stephen Fry, Olympian Tom Daley, singer Charlotte Church and TV presenter Kate Garraway.
From Celia Imrie finding an unexpectedly hilarious way to ease the tension during one of the show’s supposedly spooky challenges, to the glorious chaos brought by Alan Carr – a man completely unfamiliar with the concept of a “poker face” – Celebrity Traitors has turned out to be one of the year’s TV highlights.
The finale episode was due to air on Halloween, Friday October 31. But a change to BBC’s scheduling means that the last episode in the series will now air on Thursday, November 6 instead. The Celebrity Traitors Finale will air on BBC One at 9pm until 10:10pm.
The episode description reads: “As the ultimate game of deception and trust draws to a close, the stakes have never been higher as the celebrity players face their final, explosive mission.
“With the prize fund complete, will the pressure of winning cloud anyone’s vision? Will the famous faithful banish all the traitors to secure victory, or will the traitors manage to deceive until the bitter end?”
When is The Celebrity Traitors finale?
The Celebrity Traitors Finale will air on Thursday, November 6 on BBC One at 9pm until 10:10pm. No episode will air on Wednesday, November 5.
In a post on Instagram, BBC iPlayer announced: “By order of #TheTraitors, do not miss #TheCelebrityTraitors Finale from 6th Nov at 9pm.
“#ClaudiaWinkleman #Traitor #FaithfulFamous… and faithful? An all-star cast are ready to play the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal. The fingerless gloves are ON – let the mind games begin!”

What is the prize on Celebrity Traitors?
The celebrity contestants are competing for up to £100,000, with the total depending on how well they perform in the various challenges.
Unlike the regular version, the stars won’t keep the money – instead, all winnings will be donated to their chosen charities.
If the Faithful manage to banish all the Traitors, they’ll split the prize pot between their selected causes. However, if even one traitor makes it to the end, they’ll steal the entire jackpot for their own charity.
