The Traitors has reached the halfway point and after seven episodes, just 12 contestants are left. With nearly £120,000 on the line, each person is fighting to reach the finale and take home their share of the cash.
Claudia Winkleman’s physiological game show has gripped the nation. What began as a group of 22 players, have been whittled down to just 12, and among them are two traitors.
The faithful contestants must work out who the traitors are and banish them at a brutal roundtable discussion. After the banishment, the remaining traitors are permitted to “murder” another contestant.

There have been shocking twists and turns from the beginning. A secret relationship was exposed and arguments ensued over who said what, but who is still standing?
Aaron - Faithful
Age: 24
Job: Property agent
Location: Portsmouth
Aaron has quickly captured the hearts of viewers after he faced the wrath of the table in one of the earlier episodes. Accused of being a traitor by “Maddy Marple”, Aaron suffered a panic attack and had to be excused.
Since then, he’s quietly kept to himself and managed to stay out of the spotlight. However, Aaron has thrived in the challenges, particularly the more physical ones.
Alex - Faithful
Age: 26
Job: Presenter and actor
Location: London
Alex has been at the centre of the storm ever since her boyfriend and fellow contestant Tom outed their relationship over the breakfast table. In a recent episode, the traitors attempted to recruit Alex but she resisted the temptation, does that put a target on her back?
Amanda - Traitor
Age: 54
Job: Estate agent
Location: Swansea
Traitor Amanda has been absolutely smashing it in her role and has continued to fly beneath the radar. The Welshwoman even threatened fellow traitor that she’d turn into a dragon if he threw her under the bus in the same way he did to their third traitor Alyssa.
Amos - Faithful
Age: 30
Job: Doctor
Location: North London
Amos has already identified himself as a threat since he re-entered the castle in a shock twist. The knowledgable doctor has found a solid ally in Alex but that has drawn the traitors his way?
Andrea - Faithful
Age: 72
Job: Retired
Location: Belgium
Sweet and charming Andrea won’t be voted out by anyone. A mother figure to a lot of the other contestants, she broke down in tears at the suggestion that she could be a traitor, further rallying the others on her side.
Fay - Faithful
Age: 59
Job: Head of School Welfare
Job: Suffolk
In the beginning, eyes were on Fay as she was arousing suspicion, but after a while she has eased into the background and is guiding the faithfuls to victory. Whether her newfound sway will be her downfall, we have yet to see.
Hannah - Faithful
Age: 32
Job: Comedian
Location: London
Comedian Hannah saw red when she learned of magician Tom and presenter Alex’s hidden romance. When Tom revealed their secret, Hannah’s rage was palpable and she demanded that the group vote her out at the round table because she didn’t want to put up with their lies.
Kieran - Faithful
Age: 42
Job: Solutions consultant
Location: Hertfordshire
Alongside Amos, Kieran underestimated himself by standing at the end of the line in episode one. Thrown a bone by host Claudia Winkleman, so far Kieran has chosen to stay in the shadows and keep learning silently, when will he choose to strike?
Maddy - Faithful
Age: 29
Job: Receptionist (and actress)
Location: Kent
Maddy Marple has made quite the impression on both viewers and contestants. Her wild theory has seen her consistently point the finger at Aaron, Wilf and Meryl and her recent admission of her soap acting roles sent fans reeling.
Meryl - Faithful
Age: 25
Job: Call centre agent
Location: Edinburgh
Meryl has only just started coming to the front and her passion is clear as she argues her case against the ruthless Maddy Marple. As she gets louder though, will that draw the traitors towards her?
Theo - Faithful
Age: 26
Job: Cheerleading coach
Location: Leeds
Theo was super loud to begin with, quickly forming allies with the likes of John and particularly Claire, who faced the traitors’ wrath not long after arriving. Now, passionate Theo has loudly argued his case against magician Tom and we pity the next target he chooses.
Wilfred - Traitor
Age: 28
Job: Senior fundraiser
Location: North London
Wilf is an original traitor, and alongside Amanda, he’s playing a solid game. Already, the pair has seen six faithfuls eliminated from the castle and thanks to his quick thinking, he turned the spotlight off him by throwing fellow traitor Alyssa under the bus, but with Maddy Marple on the case, is his card numbered?
