The third UK series of The Traitors is drawing to a close, with the grand finale set for tonight (January 24) after a month filled with unexpected plot twists and betrayals.
Devotees of the reality competition will be eager to see if this year’s final can outdo season two’s thrilling conclusion, which saw Traitor Harry Clark secure the substantial prize money from the Faithfuls. He managed this by persuading his closest ally on the show, Mollie Pearce, that he was trustworthy.
Fooled by him, she erased his name from her blackboard at the last possible moment, securing his victory and earning the episode a spot in the reality TV hall of fame for its high drama and suspense.
The third instalment of the unpredictable game show has introduced audiences to a fresh cast of endearing characters. Linda, an ousted player, quickly won over fans and was hailed as an ‘icon’ for her theatrical attempts to hide the fact she was a Traitor.
Despite what viewers dubbed her ‘GCSE acting’, she made it to episode seven before being expelled, reports .
