Move over Love Island, everyone has a new favourite reality show – The Traitors.
For those who haven’t seen it (firstly, where have you been?!), the BBC series sees a group of contestants heading to a Scottish castle where they collective have to try and find the titular “Traitors” among the cast who are ready to “murder” them all in a race to win a huge cash prize.
On paper, it all sounds a bit like a real-life game of Cluedo, but in reality, it has proved to be addictive, compelling and completely bonkers viewing, and we cannot get enough.
