It’s time to finally reactivate your social life as the final of The Traitors season 3 is just around the corner.
After weeks of Welsh accents being faked, Minah being ‘the best traitor’ of all time, Linda’s hilarious acting, Alexander just being Alexander, and theories about secret relationships, the BBC show is ending on Friday.
But the broadcaster has introduced a huge change to the schedule that you absolutely need to be aware of in case – god forbid -you miss what is likely to be the TV highlight of 2025.
Unlike previous episodes, which have been airing on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, the final has an earlier start time of 8.30pm.
Viewers will also get an extra ten minutes to bask in the glory of treachery as The Traitors will end at 9.40pm rather than its usual hour-long slot.
But you won’t want to get your tissues out just yet – once the final has drawn to a close you can tune into an extended special finale of Uncloaked presented by Ed Gamble on BBC One rather than its usual home, BBC Two.

Ahead of the final batch of episodes, presenter Claudia Winkleman explained a major twist in a ‘coming soon’ preview clip aired on Friday.
The 52-year-old revealed: ‘One of you will win an extraordinary power that could turn the entire game on its head.’
No further explanation was given – but thankfully the internet got hard to work devising theories.

‘Next week on #TheTraitors there is a game-changing twist… and this book made an appearance tonight,’ said superTV247 on X, with an image of a book titled The Seer.
They went on to explain a possible meaning: ‘In the game ‘Werewolf’… “The Seer is arguably the most powerful and important Villager. The Seer targets a player, and the Moderator silently indicates whether that player is a Villager or a Werewolf.
‘The Seer must then find a way to use that knowledge to help the Villagers, without becoming the next target themselves.’
Other viewers also spotted the book in the episode and made the connection to the game The Werewolf.

‘The seer? A little shout out to my Werewolf girlies? #TheTraitors,’ said IvanBrett.
On Friday’s episode, the remaining players revealed how they would spend the prize money.
Both Charlotte and Leanne revealed they would use the money towards IVF and both had struggled with pregnancy.
Alexander revealed that he planned to support a charity that helped his parents raise his late younger brother who had special needs and died at age 17.
The Traitors final episode airs on Friday from 8.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
