The Celebrity Traitors: When the next episode is on and who is at risk of murder
The Traitors have their eyes on three peopleThe Celebrity Traitors has left viewers desperate for another fix, so here is when the next episode is on.
The BBC show was left on another big cliffhanger last week (naturally), with three contestants at risk of murder.
Traitors Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr are poised to strike again, with another celebrity set to leave Ardross Castle imminently.
But who will the Traitors murder? And when is the next episode on so we can find out? Here’s everything you need to know.
The Celebrity Traitors: What happened in the last episode?
The last episode of The Celebrity Traitors saw an entire team of contestants at risk of murder. The gang played a giant game of chess as they tried to pair comments made by the Traitors with individual players.
Claudia Winkleman had made the celebrities split into two teams for the game. Jonathan Ross, Lucy Beaumont, Stephen Fry, Kate Garraway and Nick Mohammed made up on team. The other team comprised of Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Celia Imrie, Joe Marler and David Olusoga.
Unfortunately, Jonathan, Lucy, Stephen, Kate and Nick lost the game. This meant all five were told they were at risk of murder (but obviously we know Jonathan is a Traitor). The other team were given immunity Shields.
But before that could happen, Stephen was voted off in a Banishment. He told the Round Table: “I’ve had the best fun for years. What an extraordinary bunch of people. To be part of such a group is a privilege, an honour and a deep delight.”
He then added: “I am of course, as I have told you all along, a Faithful.”
Who is at risk of murder?
Episode 6 ended on a huge twist with face-to-face murder poised to happen. Lucy, Kate and Nick were each called back to the giant chess board one at a time in the middle of the night. Once there, they were told to stand on the board. The trio obviously assumed Jonathan was also summons, but he wasn’t.
A giant black Traitors chess piece then moved towards each of them. When it stopped, the celebrity was told to turn around. If they could see Claudia standing on the grass, it meant they were safe. If they turned around and saw the Traitors, they would be murdered.
The show finished with Jonathan, Cat and Alan in their Traitors cloaks and carrying lanterns as they headed to the chess board. Viewers also got to see each celebrity spin around.
But in a big cliffhanger, who saw Claudia and who saw the Traitors was not revealed. Will Lucy, Kate or Nick be their next victim? THIS is what we find out tonight!
What else happens in The Celebrity Traitors tonight?
Along with a murder, there will also be another Mission in episode 7 of The Celebrity Traitors. Throughout the series, the celebrities are carrying out Missions to increase the all-important charity prize pot.
The winner of The Celebrity Traitors 2025 will give the prize money to a charity of their choice, with a possible maximum total of £100,000. Currently, the prize pot is sitting at £43,500.
As usual, there will be Shields to be found in the Mission in episode 7. Whoever finds a Shield will be saved from murder the next time Jonathan, Alan and Cat strike.
Shields do not protect the finders from banishment, though, and there is likely to be another Round Table tonight, too. But whether we find out on the night who goes remains to be seen…

The Celebrity Traitors returns to BBC One tonight (Wednesday October 29, 2025). It starts at 9pm and runs for 65 minutes.
