Hugely popular reality TV gameshow The Traitors is set to return to the BBC, and will get a spin-off show for season two, according to reports. The show featured Claudia Winkleman as host in the first season as a team of 'faithfuls' tried to work out who was secretly a traitor and 'killing off' contestants in a bid to keep money for themselves.
The second season will feature a spin-off show, similar to Bake Off Extra Slice ot Apprentice: You're Fired, hosted by Rylan, reports BirminghamLive.
A source said: “Considering a spin-off show is a sure sign the BBC sees The Traitors as one of its biggest programmes, which is extraordinary after just one series. Strictly was unusual in that it launched with a digital companion show on BBC Three, but even the Great British Bake Off only gained its Extra Slice spin-off for its fifth series.”
Judi Love has also been tipped to be taking part in the show.
The source told the Sun: “If they go ahead with the plan, [Rylan]’s top of the wish list, but Judi has also carved out a niche on similar programmes like Channel 4’s Married At First Sight UK companion show Unveiled."
The Traitors has had 34million views on BBC iPlayer, and is the biggest new entertainment launch for the BBC.
A special episode of the show will be aired this week for Comic Relief, while a similar show by the same production company is coming to Channel 4.
