Celebrity Traitors next episode date confirmed after chaotic week
Celebrity Traitors episode five air date confirmed

Celebrity Traitors episode five will air at 8pm on Thursday, October 15 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, following a week of chaos that saw Bella Ramsey murdered and Julie Hesmondhalgh banished.

The BBC is airing only two episodes a week of the new series, leaving fans waiting several days between instalments. After the first four episodes featured accidental Traitors claims, battles of shields and unwilling recruits, viewers must now wait until Thursday, October 15 for episode five.

Bella Ramsey murdered and Julie Hesmondhalgh banished

The latest episode saw the Faithfuls thrown into disarray as it was revealed that actor Bella Ramsey had been murdered during the night. At the Round Table, the celebrities were divided as they accused Hannah Fry and Julie Hesmondhalgh of being Traitors due to their suspicious behaviour.

Julie, who had initially been voted the most trustworthy player, was banished from the castle. Many viewers were surprised to see Hannah survive, with one person writing on Reddit: "Hannah played a blinder in the round table." Another added: "She got lucky I thought. Nearly talked too much at the end."

Hide and seek twist ahead

At the end of Friday's episode (October 9), the Traitors selected four Faithfuls to be placed in crypts in the eerie woods, one of whom would be murdered face to face. Potentially leaving the show are Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett, Ross Kemp and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

However, one of the stars has been given a key to lock their crypt, a twist the Traitors are unaware of. If the Traitors choose this Faithful, they will be unable to murder them and all players will be safe for one more night.

Upcoming Celebrity Traitors schedule

For fans not wanting to miss a minute of the action, the upcoming schedule is: episode five at 8pm on Thursday, October 15; episode six at 8pm on Friday, October 16; episode seven at 8pm on Thursday, October 22; episode eight at 8pm on Friday, October 23; episode nine at 8pm on Thursday, October 29; and episode ten at 8pm on Friday, October 30.

Each episode airs live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with episodes available to stream after broadcast.
