The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman has teased fans with a “game-changing” revelation just ahead of the show’s finale.
The gripping series geared up for an intense conclusion as Friday’s episode (January 17) set the stage for the final three episodes next week, with deceit reaching fever pitch.
The episode concluded with a tantalising glimpse into what’s to come, as Claudia Winkleman promised the contestants a seismic shift in the game, declaring at the roundtable: “I’m going to award one of you with an extraordinary power that has the potential to turn the entire game on its head.”
the credits rolled and viewers swarmed to X to express their astonishment and speculate over the bombshell preview.
One viewer queried: “Wait what’s this extraordinary power Claudia mentioned in the preview for next week, she claims could turn the game on its head.”

Another speculated: “Imagine if the extraordinary power is to unbanish or resurrect a faithful #TheTraitorsUK.”
A third fan pondered: “Very curious about what this new twist is gonna be. I wonder if someone is gonna have a chance to learn who the Traitors are… #TheTraitors.”
The episode opened with the players assembling for another tense breakfast, noticing the conspicuously smaller table as they entered one after another.
This left Jake, Lisa, and Leanne as the last three standing while the rest speculated on the returnees.

Following much anticipation, Jake and Leanne were the ones to make an entrance, indicating that Traitors Minah and Charlotte had eliminated Lisa the previous night.
During the banishment ceremony, Leon and Frankie found themselves in the hot seat. However, with both receiving four votes each, the final decision fell to Freddie to determine who would be expelled.
Freddie chose Leon, who was then required to reveal his status as a Faithful to his fellow participants before leaving the castle for good.
