The Traitors Final Causes BBC Schedule Shake-Up
The Traitors Final Causes BBC Schedule Shake-Up

The Traitors series four finale airs tonight (Friday 23 January) at 8:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer, causing a ripple effect on the evening's schedule. The extended episode, running until 9:45pm, pushes back BBC News at Ten to 10:35pm and The Graham Norton Show to 11:15pm.

The finale will reveal the outcome of Thursday's cliffhanger, where Faithful James and Traitor Rachel received identical votes after two rounds. Host Claudia Winkleman introduced the 'chest of chance' to break the tie, with the player selecting the shield advancing to the final.

Rachel, a head of communications from Newry, County Down, has faced suspicion throughout the series. Fellow Traitor Fiona accused her early on, and Harriet led a campaign against her before being banished. Recently, Traitor Stephen cast doubt on Rachel, fearing she might betray him.

The prize fund currently stands at £76,750. If a Traitor survives to the end, they can claim the money from the Faithfuls. The episode concludes with The Traitors: Uncloaked at 9:45pm, followed by the delayed news and Graham Norton.
