What time is The Traitors final on at? Fans warned of shift in BBC schedule as final episode of series four to air at different time
Fans of The Traitors are being reminded that the highly-anticipated final of the show will be on screens at a slightly different time tonight.
The BBC mega hit series draws to a close after an incredibly dramatic and twisty installment that has seen everything from secret traitors to all-out warfare in the turret.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the finale episode, where Claudia Winkleman will reveal the winner (or winners!) of the series after four weeks of twists and turns. The final will hit screens on Friday evening (January 23).
Viewers are being reminded that tonight’s finale episode will be airing at a slightly different time than usual. While those at home have been able to sit down and enjoy a new episode of The Traitors from 8pm Wednesday to Friday for the past four weeks, the finale episode will actually be airing a little later than normal.
Tonight’s grand final will air at 8.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The finale episode will be a bumper one, with 75 minutes of action set to take place rather than the usual 60 minutes.
This will be followed by The Traitors: Uncloaked at 9.45pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Ed Gamble will host the Uncloaked show, where players from this series, including the finalists, will gather to discuss the biggest moments from the finale and the past four weeks.
Fans were left on tenterhooks during last night’s semi-final, which ended on an agonising cliffhanger. At the roundtable, suspicion arose around Rachel, with multiple people picking up on their inkling that she could be a traitor in disguise. Meanwhile, others were still stuck on James after his outlandish display on the previous night’s roundtable that saw him incorrectly accuse Matthew and use his double vote dagger power to confirm his banishment.
Following the tense discussion, the group vote ended in a tie between Rachel and James. A revote saw the group split once again, meaning that James and Rachel’s fate in the game was left up to chance.
The final moments of the episode saw the pair chose chests, one of which contains a shield that would protect the recipient from banishment. The player left with the chest containing nothing would be banished immediately. The screen cut to black just before James and Rachel could lift their lids to reveal what lay inside...
Viewers will need to tune in from 8.30pm tonight to find out which unlucky player has been banished and who will eventually walk away with the prize pot.
