The winner of The Celebrity Traitor has finally been revealed following the BBC series’ intense final.

Beginning at the start of October, Claudia Winkelman series was initially joined by 19 famous faces in the Scottish Highlands for the popular gameshow.

Appointing comedian Alan Carr, singer Cat Burns and ITV presenter Jonathan Ross as her traitors, the faithfuls had a horrid time trying to locate them.

Compared to all past seasons of the UK show, of which there have been three featuring members of the public, this year’s batch of faithfuls were the worst performing set of faithfuls in the show’s history.

Heading into Thursday night’s (November 6) final, Alan and Cat were hoping to deceive faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga one final time.

Many viewers spent the day away from social media to avoid spoilers, with the BBC confirming earlier in the day that the final aired earlier than intended by those who subscribe to streaming service Crave in Canada.

“Please avoid sharing potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every twist and turn of the series can enjoy the final this evening,” a BBC spokesperson said.

The final began with the five remaining contestants taking part in a challenge which saw them meeting Claudia at a train station.

It was revealed that they’d had to go on board the Traitors Express, having to collect keys to retrieve five gold bars, equaling £5,000 each, in just 20 minutes.

With explosives planted at the end of the line, they managed to escape with an additional £20,000 for the prize fund before the train exploded.

After this it was time for one of the most heated roundtables of the series, with Cat being sent home empty handed after David, Joe and Nick aired their suspicions.

In a twist that no one saw coming, Nick became convinced that Joe was a traitor, after hearing say he was sorry to Cat as she was leaving the room.

Going outside to end the series with the traditional endgame, where they had to decide whether to end the game or keep it going.

Having to decide if they wanted to end the game, Nick shared his suspicions on Joe, with Alan and David agreeing to banish him in a major twist.

With viewers left with their mouths open, Alan, David and Nick decided that they believed they were all faithfuls and it was the right time to end the game.

Despite laughing in the previous episode when he had to tell everyone he was a faithful, Alan left Nick and David stunned by revealing he was a traitor the whole time to win the show.

Thankfully, fans of the series don’t have too long to wait moving forward, with the fourth series of the public version expected to premiere in the New Yea
