Secret Traitor Revealed in BBC's The Traitors 2026

The mysterious, red-cloaked secret traitor was finally unmasked in Wednesday’s (7 January) episode of The Traitors. The reveal came after the existing traitors, Rachel and Stephen, successfully completed a mission to place fingerprints on portraits of contestants they wished to shortlist for murder, without being detected.

Upon completing the task, the secret traitor’s identity was disclosed in the turret. Before the newcomer entered, Rachel told Stephen: “Whoever walks through that door, we don’t need them.”

Fans expressed both delight and shock at the revelation, with one viewer posting on X that they believe the secret traitor could “win the whole thing.”
