Tonight, fans of The Traitors will finally learn the identity of the enigmatic Secret Traitor.
This unexpected revelation was introduced by Claudia Winkleman in the inaugural episode of the latest series. She teased viewers by announcing, “I’m also going to select a Secret Traitor, and no one, not even the Traitors themselves or the audience, will be aware of their identity. It’s a bit mischievous, isn’t it?”
In the previous episode, viewers were left in suspense as existing Traitors, Rachel and Stephen, were informed that they would soon be informed about the Secret Traitor’s identity. They had recently regained authority by choosing nine potential victims from a contestant family tree.
Some observant fans believe they may have already deduced the Secret Traitor’s identity before the official unveiling.

Fans have spotted a book titled Who’s Who 1934 on the bookshelf, authored by a former barrister. Notably, Harriet’s handwriting bears resemblance to that found on the murder list.
