The Celebrity Traitors has already got the nation gripped – and viewers are counting the days to what will undoubtedly be an epic final.

Instead of members of the public, the spin-off series has seen 19 famous faces take over Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

The celebrities have already dug their own graves, some have laid in coffins and one has even committed ‘murder’. But when is The Celebrity Traitors final? And will there be series 2? Here’s what we know.

The Celebrity Traitors: Series 2

The BBC is yet to officially confirm a second series of The Celebrity Traitors. But current Traitor, Jonathan Ross, has already let slip that planning for Celebrity Traitors season 2 is already underway.

Jonathan let the cat out of the bag during an appearance on his and daughter Honey’s podcast Reel Talk. He said to Honey: “I know they’re already planning a second celebrity version. I know because I’ve had two celebrity friends of mine call me and say, ‘I’ve been approached – is it good to do, is it bad to do?'”

Unfortunately Jonathan then ended up in a bit of a pickle with his next comment. He said: “I’m giving them the benefit of my experience, which was I didn’t enjoy it.”

Jonathan went on to say how he found constantly lying “wearing”. He added: “I’m a Traitor, that’s why. I found the lying really wearing, it left me feeling increasingly uncomfortable.”

Hours later, Jonathan ended up backtracking and insisted he was NOT “discouraging” his showbiz friends from taking part.

Who has already left the show?

So far, The Celebrity Traitors has only had one departure – but a second…and third are imminent. Singer Paloma Faith was the first star to be ‘murdered’ in the show. She was bumped off by her good friend Alan Carr.

The comedian, who is a Traitor with Jonathan and singer Cat Burns, was told he had to kill in plain sight. He saw Paloma off by rubbing his hands on the petals of a ‘poisonous lily’ before touching her face.

Unfortunately, Paloma has not taken it well. In spin-off BBC2 show, Uncloaked, she blasted Alan for “betraying” her. Oh dear!

The second episode ended on a big cliffhanger, with the celebrities sitting at the Round Table. They were midway through giving their votes on who they think are the Traitors when the show ended.

Episode 3 saw the celebrity accused most of being a Traitor banished from the show – and it was Niko. The Traitors also killed off Tom Daley later in the episode.

When is The Celebrity Traitors final?

The BBC has now confirmed the highly anticipated date of The Celebrity Traitors final. The series will conclude on Thursday, November 06, 2025 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Fans will be treated to a 70 minute episode. Following the finale there will be an extra special extended episode of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked on BBC Two and Sounds.

The series started on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 and comprises of nine episodes. It airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays, meaning it was logically due to finish on Wednesday November 5. However, in a controversial decision by the Beeb, there will be no episode on that Wednesday.

So will fans will be left hanging a painful week for the final…

There had previously been claims that Friday, October 31, had been set aside for The Celebrity Traitors final. Going out on the spookiest night of the year would be rather fitting. But on X one TV critic claimed: “By the way, there’s a lot of speculation that the final of #CelebrityTraitors is on Halloween (Friday 31st), but a senior executive tells me that it won’t be.”
