00:00Bad news, Faithfuls. The date for the final of the Traitors has been confirmed.
00:05I'm TV and technology writer Matt Monaghan and this is all you need to know.
00:09So just over three weeks after it returned to our screens on January the 1st,
00:13the BBC have confirmed that the third season of the blockbuster hit,
00:17which has been even more popular this year than ever,
00:21the first episode has had a viewing figure of 10 million, the BBC have said now.
00:26But the third season is going to come to an end on Friday, January the 24th.
00:31And in that episode, a new winner or winners, depending on how things shake out,
00:37will be crowned. But there's still plenty to play for before we get to that point.
00:43The contestants are still looking to remain in the Traitors' castle and make it to the final.
00:48And of course, to get all of or a share of the prize money at the end of the competition.
00:55The money in the pot keeps going up as they take on challenges
00:59and expect that to continue over the coming days.
01:03But more important for viewers than that is there'll be more not to get caught out by the final
01:10because you might be used to the Traitors starting at 9 p.m. every day,
01:14like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday that it's on.
01:16But for the final, it's starting at the earlier time of 8.30 p.m.
01:22And it'll be a bumper episode, so it's longer than usual, which makes sense because it's the final.
01:26So it's a bigger, more dramatic episode than any that have aired in 2025.
01:31And then it'll be followed directly after by the Traitors Uncloaked,
01:35which is the companion show with Ed Gamble where they pick apart everything that's just happened in the episode.
01:41So start at 8.30 and that's going to run until 10.25.
01:45So the BBC News at 10 has been pushed back by 25 minutes,
01:49which is a pretty rare occurrence than moving back one of the flagship news events for the Traitors.
01:55So the Traitors episodes start at 8.30, not 9 p.m.
01:59So if you tune in at 9 p.m., you'll be halfway through the episode
02:02and you'll be like, what's going on?
02:04You know, what's happening?
02:06Why is it mid-action?
02:08It's because it's starting at 8.30 on Friday, January the 24th.
02:12Don't get caught out.
