The Traitors series three finale date revealed as bosses confirm huge shakeup for final episode
THE finale date for The Traitors series three has been revealed – as bosses confirmed a huge shake-up.
Last week, The Traitors returned for the third series of the popular show hosted by Claudia Winkleman.

The finale will be shown on January 24, but at the earlier time of 8.30pm.
Meanwhile, a longer edition of Ed Gamble’s spin-off show Uncloaked immediately follows from 9.40pm to 10.25pm.
Last night’s episode featured a shocking twist which saw three seemingly eliminated players return.
Viewers may recall how Fozia, Jack and Alexander all voluntarily left the train to the castle in episode one.
The group had been kept in hiding since as they arrived back to the game after boarding the ‘rail replacement service’.
As part of the day’s mission, the trio of axed stars were suspended in the sky and locked in cages.
Host Claudia confessed that Fozia, Jack and Alexander were all eligible to re-enter the game but one star would not make it and would sensationally be axed AGAIN.
The other players had to decide who to help out as they were required to collect gold coins in order to lower their cages from the sky and back down onto the ground.
They deposited gold coins for the stars they wished to save and Fozia landed on the ground first.
Alexander followed leaving Jack dangling in the air at the end of the mission.
Responding to the brutally savage twist, Jack remarked: “I’m gutted but I’m happy for them both.
“It was a wake-up call as to how brutal The Traitors can be.”
The beginning of the episode revealed 25-year-old Maia had been “murdered” by The Traitors.
After helping expose older sister Armani as a Traitor, remaining Traitors Minah and Linda opted to eliminate Maia on the basis she wouldn’t be banished.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
Elsewhere, 33-year-old doctor Kasim was brutally ousted from the programme by his fellow players.
Amid suspicions, Kas was banished by his co-stars – despite having been a Faithful all along.
He said to the remaining contestants: “It’s been fantastic and you are all fantastic people.”
The Traitors airs at 9pm from Wednesday to Friday on BBC One and iPlayer.

A WILLIE MULLINS horse loved by punters and remembered as a ‘legend’ at Cheltenham has died at the grand old age of 24.
Uncle Junior ran an amazing 14 times over the cross country track at the home of jumps.
Owned by Luke McMahon, he won 12 of his 52 career races and bagged more than £170,000 in prize money.
His final ever win came over the banks at Punchestown in April 2015 when he beat Quantitativeeasing by a neck in a thriller.
Victory helped Mullins land a 3,247-1 five-timer at the Irish track – on a day the trainer labelled ‘magical’.
McMahon confirmed Uncle Junior’s passing, writing on X: “Lost a great pal today, 24 and went peacefully. An iron horse. RIP.”
Uncle Junior’s record at Cheltenham was amazing, with two triumphs over the cross country track in November 2011 and 2012.
He also finished second to old foe Balthazar King in 2013 and 2014.
One of his most memorable wins was when he carried a huge 12st7lbs to success over the Punchestown banks in 2012.
Ridden by Willie’s son Patrick, the pair got up in the final stride to defeat 13-year-old Lydon House, who was carrying a stone-and-a-half less.

Eddie Hearn delivers update on Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua negotiations as he admits ‘timing’s everything’
EDDIE HEARN has defended the failure to make a historic Battle of Britain between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
A mammoth domestic dust-up between the pair is back on the table following Fury’s second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk last month.
Tyson Fury is at a career crossroads following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk[/caption] A Battle of Britain with Anthony Joshua awaits Fury should he opt against retirement[/caption] Eddie Hearn has defended the time it’s taken for the fight to become a reality[/caption]Boxing fans worldwide have been dying to see the pair throw down for the best part of ten years and have taken aim at their promoters for not making the fight happen sooner.
But Matchrom Boxing chief Hearn has defended all parties involved, telling Betfred: “[There’s] number of reasons [why it hasn’t happened yet].
“The time it was going to happen, which was the time we signed for the fight, was when Tyson had his arbitration with Deontay Wilder for the rematch.
“We signed to fight Tyson Fury and I believe Tyson was going to fight Anthony Joshua, but through the court ruling, he had to fight Wilder.
“That was taken out of our hands.”
Fury and Joshua were at the peak of their powers when they were on course to fight for the heavyweight marbles in 2021.
The pair, however, have lost a combined five fights since their two-fight series fell apart – although Hearn insists the duo are far from past it.
He said: “Timing’s everything and I still believe both fighters are close to the prime of their careers.

“I know Tyson got beat, but he got beat by Usyk in a close fight.
“There’s no shame in that and he’s still a great fighter. AJ’s still a brilliant heavyweight.
“So I think it’s a tremendous clash and right now, it’s very difficult to pick a winner in that fight, which is of course enthralling for boxing fans.”
Hearn knows time is of the essence if Fury and Joshua are to finally duke it out.
But he plans to give the Gypsy King plenty of time to lick his Usyk-inflicted wounds before making his move.
When asked if any negotiations have taken place, the 45-year-old said: “It’s not something that we’ve talked through yet.
“We’re only a couple weeks on from Tyson Fury’s defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
“If he does want to continue fighting, which I presume he does, then it’s an obvious fight to make.
“It’s the biggest fight in the sport still and you get people telling you that it isn’t, but tell me a bigger fight? There isn’t one.”
Eddie Hearn is eager to see Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua finally have it out[/caption]People are just realising there’s a secret button on their washing machines – it’ll save you calling out an electrician
MANY people who do laundry have faced that frustrating moment when the washing machine locks mid-cycle.
After waiting and realising the door still won’t budge, the next step is often calling an electrician – an expensive solution.
Many people will be all too familiar with the annoying issue of a washing machine locking mid-cycle[/caption]But don’t panic, you might not need professional help at all.
The problem could be resolved quickly if you know about the ‘secret’ button hidden on many washing machines.
Max, an electrician from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, shared this clever hack in a helpful video on his TikTok page, @maxelectricalsimon.
Speaking to camera, he said: “We’ve had two customers come in this morning, both of whose washing machines have got stuck mid-cycle and it’s half full with water and they can’t get their washing out.”
He explained that he is going to show his followers who to get the washing machine unlocked.
First off, open up the drain cover and there will be a black tab.
He recommends getting a flathead screwdriver and pulling it down.
Max says: “This then will unlock the door, meaning now it can be opened.”
He continues: “So what you’ll find is on some brands of machines, they don’t actually have anything you can unlock.
“But there’s a couple of things you can still do.
“First of all, real simple, you can try unplugging it or turn it off, wait about 10 seconds and then turn it back on again.
“Also worth just checking, it’s not on child lock, disabling all the buttons.
“Normally there’s a little button with a key, pressing all that for normally two seconds and then it unlocks and it works again.
“Let’s say now the machine’s full of water.
“What we’re gonna do is drain it and normally draining it unlocks it because then the sensors realise that the water’s gone below the line, allowing the door to then hopefully unlock.
He also recommends turning the main switch off for 15 seconds and turning it back on[/caption]“This can be a bit of a messy job.
“So make sure you have a tray and plenty of towels ready at hand.
“The water will then drain out. You’ll probably have a lot more than this.
“Now that’s drained, that should hopefully be able to unlock.”
However, if it’s still not unlocking after all this, Max says it may be a “little more serious.”
Max adds: “It might be that you actually need to replace the lock, which then becomes like a service job, unless you’re really hands-on.”

Foodies race to John Lewis to nab fill your own Quality Street tins slashed to half price
YOU may have noticed a few retailers drastically slashing prices of their sweet treats, eager to clear the shelves of left over Christmas stock.
And while some of will still be feeling sick from the overindulging of the festive period, others will be keen to get their hands on a yummy deal.
Sainsbury’s shoppers have been taking advantage of the store’s latest price reductions, including family favourites Quality Street and Celebrations.
The sweet snacks are being snapped up quickly by hungry buyers – so if you fancy a bargain you’ll need to be fast.
One eagle-eyed shopper has spotted an incredible deal on a classic British confectionery at another retail giant.
They posted the picture to Facebook group Extreme Bargains UK’s 57,000 followers.
The snap was captioned “50% off Quality Street fill your own at John Lewis.”
The picture showed a shelf stacked with the iconic purple and gold tins – all sat underneath a ‘reduced to clear 50% off’ sign.
The DIY tins were originally retailing for £17 each but have now been knocked down to just £8.50.
And even better – shoppers have full control over the contents, so no need to dodge the Coconut Eclairs or Toffee Fingers if you’re not a fan.
The pick and mix Quality Street stations are exclusive to John Lewis and only available in store.
Simply grab your tin and fill with your favourite flavours.
There are 12 delicious flavours to choose from – including ‘back by popular demand’ Coffee Crème.
The bargain hunter had spotted the deal at the Cribbs Causeway branch of John Lewis.
And fans were quick to flood the comments with praise.
One fan of the DIY tins wrote: “I may need to get more, this was my best present ever.”
Another person, clearly fond of the classic eye-catching branding, wrote: “I just want the tin.”
While someone else tagged a friend and wrote: “We need this!”
And someone else shared another money-saving tip, saying: “I think if you take your existing tin it’s cheaper too.”

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
