Earlier this year, BBC fans were treated to a nail-biting finale as they watched Faithful's Jake Brown and Leanne Quigley split an eye-watering cash prize of £94,600.

Now, the wait is almost over for fans as the show returns to the Scottish Castle to watch the ultimate game of trust and deceit.

This week, the BBC have confirmed that the fourth series of The Traitors is right around the corner, with the first episode airing on New Year's Day on BBC One.

A synopsis reads: "Starting in the new year, the smash hit multi-award-winning psychological series returns for a fourth series. Faithful viewers will once again be treated to the ultimate reality game of trust and treachery."
