Celebrity Traitors final live: tearful winner takes it all for his chosen charity

You may have seen a short teaser clip for the next round traitor Hidden at the end of the show…

It didn’t really give us any big clues as to what we could expect (hooded figures? lurking around a castle? groundbreaking) but we can safely assume that the new season will air on the BBC in early 2026.

The show has been a part of the BBC’s early January programming for the past few years, and, although the exact dates have not yet been confirmed, it seems likely that the broadcaster will once again opt for a similar slot.

It’s safe to say we’re all going to miss those two days a week celebrity traitor Now that the series is over. So the big question is, will the BBC bring back the spin-off for season two?

Right now, we don’t have a definite answer, as a second series has yet to be confirmed. But, frankly, given the show’s immense success, the broadcaster would be foolish not to greenlight a follow-up as soon as possible.

Before the finale aired, celebrity traitor was already the most watched TV show of the year. According to seven-day consolidated figures, it averaged 12.6 million viewers across the first four episodes. This is really impressive.

For comparison, 7.4 million people tuned in for the season three finale of Citizen Edition in January. It seems like the show continues to go from strength to strength – and a fourth season (Without Celebs) are expected to return to our screens early next year.

In the celebrity edition of traitorThe stars choose to donate the prize pot to charity (instead of taking it for themselves, as contestants do in the civilian version).

Alan Carr will donate his winnings to Neuroblastoma UK, a charity that supports research and treatment of a rare cancer that develops in nerve cells.

It mainly affects children under five years of age.

“I told one person at the charity and they started crying, which gives you an idea of ​​how much this money will mean to them,” Carr said after the final broadcast.

“Neuroblastoma is such a cruel disease, and this money will literally save lives. It’s a charity and a disease that no one has really heard of, so in terms of viewing figures it’s going to be great for the charity.”

Hannah Ivens writes, “It could only end this way.”

Oh Joe. Loyal people didn’t deserve you.

at the beginning of celebrity traitor Wrapping up, rugby player Joe did everything. He realized that Alan Carr and Cat Burns were traitors. And he was going to keep them on his side until the last minute, before he stepped wrongly onto the Round Table.

But he was foiled at the last moment by his fellow loyalists. breath.

Here’s a reminder of that Cheat The journey…before it all comes to an end.

Surely every vaguely famous person in Britain will be calling their agent and demanding they secure them a place over there. Cheat Palace next year.

Even a member of the royal family has thrown their hat in the ring. Princess Anne’s son-in-law Mike Tindall has revealed he would “definitely enjoy” taking part in the show.

Former rugby player Tindall has previously appeared in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! So this won’t be his first reality rodeo either.

“Isn’t it curious to see contestants unable to hide behind fake personas or less dubious jobs, as is the case in normal series?”

Overall, she writes, it’s been a funny series full of disappointing people and we’ve loved every minute of it.

Obviously I couldn’t have put it any better myself. And on that note, goodnight faithful.
