With just days to go before The Traitors’ series three final, the remaining contestants were hit with a major twist in the game by host Claudia Winkleman on the BBC hit show
The Traitors cast were hit with a surprise twist in the latest episode as host Claudia Winkleman made a huge revelation.
The BBC hit show returned tonight for its final week of episodes, with the remaining six contestants fighting their way through the last remaining roundtables to make it to the finale. With two Traitors – Charlotte Berman and Freddie Fraser – left in the competition, it’s not certain which team will take home the £100,000 jackpot prize.
While contestants were only just getting used to the BBC gameplay, Wednesday’s episode proved that you can never predict what will happen on The Traitors as Claudia told the cast that one player would become The Seer.
“The Seer has the power to learn one other player’s identity,” Claudia said. “The Seer will invite one player this evening to a private, face-to-face meeting. That player that they’ve chosen, will have no choice and must reveal if they are a faithful or a traitor. This power could turn the entire game on its head.”

The big twist was teased last week, with Claudia revealing ahead of the last few episodes: “Someone will win an extraordinary power that could turn the entire game on its head.” Fans took to social media to work out what this meant – and some even spotted a scene in Friday’s episode which showed a bookshelf with The Seer one display.

The Seer is a character from the party game Werewolf, on which The Traitors is loosely based. In the game, The Seer is given the power to secretly find out one player’s true identity to help the Villagers find who the Werewolf – aka The Traitor – is.

Earlier this week, Traitors contestants were warned that one particular habit could result in their banishment by TV journalist Marina Hyde. Speaking on The Rest is Entertainment podcast, she said that portraying yourself as “very intelligent” would most likely result in your murder after communications director Yin, 34, was the first to be killed off by the traitors.
““Don’t make your character ‘I am very intelligent’ so that when you get in the castle…what about that one girl, she wouldn’t stop going on about how she was a behavioural expert?” she said. “Honestly, almost the last thing she said to a bunch of the contestants of the group was ‘I’m not going to sleep tonight because I’ve not built up enough social capital’. Bye, bye Yin.”
