BBC One's The Traitors landed on Tuesday, November 29, and has had viewers totally gripped ever since. The brand-new psychological competition sees 22 strangers come together to play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing, and trust.
The players work together every episode to take on missions in order to add money to the prize pot. However, hidden amongst them are the traitors whose job it's 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. There is a whopping £120,000 up for grabs, but staying in the game isn't easy as there are many twists and turns along the way.

Some players chose to conceal certain details from their fellow contestants from the get-go, with Alex and Tom opting not to reveal their relationship, while Maddy made the decision not to divulge her acting career. You can read more about her roles in EastEnders and Casualty here.
And as eliminations continue and the group gets smaller it's getting harder and harder to know who to trust. You can see a full list of all the contestants who have been murdered or banished on The Traitors here.
Originally, the traitors handpicked by presenter Claudia Winkleman were Alyssa, 22, Wilfred, 28, and 54-year-old Amanda who is an estate agent from Swansea. While Wilfred and Amanda have so far gone undetected, Alyssa was banished by the group after her co-conspirators shockingly turned on her during a roundtable vote-off.
