It's the show that has kept the nation gripped in the run up to Christmas, with plenty of viewers arguing that it was even more dramatic than the World Cup and The Traitors now has its winners, with victory for the Faithfuls after some late drama in the final
Little was known about the 12 part series when it made its debut near the end of November, but it didn't take long for people to get seriously invested in The Traitors, with its many twists and turns. The BBC brings a much more sinister side out of Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, who had a key part to play from the get go, getting rid of Amos and Kieran before they'd even entered the show's base in the Scottish Highlands and then selecting three Traitors - Alyssa, Amanda and Wilf.
The last three weeks of The Traitors has proved to be absolutely compelling viewing as the Traitors attempted to avoid detection, while all the while picking off the Faithfuls with murders nearly every night.

Only two Traitors were left standing in Thursday's final: original Wilf and last minute recruit Kieran and three Faithfuls: Aaron, Hannah and Meryl. The finale saw the team work together to take the total prize money fund to over £101,000, fully aware that if any Traitors remained at the end of the game, they would take it all home.
The final Round Table discussion proved to be the most dramatic yet, with the final result determined by the players' belief that they'd got rid of all the remaining Traitors, after one last banishment saw Kieran voted out of the competition, giving his vote to Wilf as 'a parting gift' to the others.
That vote caused chaos as a desperate Wilf tried to plead his case but, as the remaining four were asked whether they wanted to end the game or banish again, both Hannah and Aaron voted to banish, with Will then having to reveal himself to be a Traitor after Aaron, Hannah and Meryl voted to banish him.
That left Faithfuls Aaron, Hannah and Meryl and when asked again, they all decided to end the game, thus sharing the prize money.
