The Traitors: Harry Clark shocks Mollie as he wins the final
Claudia Winkleman have given a sneak peek into what viewers can anticipate from the newest instalment of The Traitors.
The beloved Strictly Come Dancing presenter will be introducing a fresh batch of contestants to the grandeur of a Scottish Highland castle, setting the stage for a gripping contest of deceit, deduction, and loyalty with a whopping £120,000 at stake.
Yet, lurking within the group are the Traitors tasked with covertly 'killing' off other players while evading suspicion. The Faithful must unmask these betrayers to avoid becoming their prey and cast them out to preserve their chance at the prize.
In the tense race to stay alive, only the last person standing or the undetected Traitor claims the jackpot. The new series promises to upend the game anew, but who will come out victorious?
Claudia expressed her excitement for the third season but playfully teased: "I would love to tell you all about series three, but then I will get fired so I can tell you absolutely nothing. What I will tell you is that things are different this year.", reports the Daily Record.

She tantalised fans by revealing: "There are some really exciting things that have changed, which keeps everyone on the toes and feeds into the central premise of trust! I can't wait for everyone to see."
Despite contenders having the advantage of watching previous seasons to conceive strategies, Claudia confessed she doubts whether that would give any real edge in the unpredictable game.
She detailed: "The new contestants can watch previous series, but that doesn't mean it will necessarily help them... How can it? Every series has a whole new bunch of players, with different minds, and different interpretations of the game."

"And like any good murder mystery, the plot is always full of twists and turns. There's one twist this year which will hopefully have viewers on the edge of their seat."
Last year's series saw Traitor Harry Clark snatch victory and the hefty £95k prize after duping Mollie Pearce into believing he was a Faithful, only to betray her in a shocking turn of events.
