The Celebrity Traitors 2026 finale is set to air on Friday, October 30 at 8pm on BBC One, with the concluding episode running 80 minutes, making it the longest in the programme's history.
Finale Details and Spin-Off
The BBC has confirmed the final episode will conclude at 9.20pm, followed by a special 40-minute edition of the spin-off programme Uncloaked, where host Ed Gamble conducts post-show discussions with the cast.
The second series of the celebrity version has generated controversy from the start, with initial Traitor Richard E Grant inadvertently exposing himself almost immediately. He has since rejected "categorically false" suggestions that he engineered the moment to reduce his time on the programme.
Cast Drama and Predictions
The turmoil in the castle continued after the enlisted Traitor Professor Hannah Fry was identified by the Faithful, leading the surviving Traitors - James Acaster and Maya Jama - to bring in another conspirator, King Kenny.
Following allegations he had orchestrated the entire incident, Grant recently posted on Instagram to share: "I usually wouldn't comment on things like this, but I've been made aware some press outlets are suggesting I 'staged' my Traitors reveal to get out of filming. This is categorically false."
He added: "I'm an avid fan of the show and have been since it first aired. Being picked as a Traitor when I was convinced I'd be a Faithful was an absolute dream and a sheer shock to the system."
Fan and Celebrity Predictions
Supporters have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their opinions, with many convinced Maya Jama will emerge as the winner. Radio presenter Paddy McGuinness also reckons the Love Island host will triumph in the second series.
On his BBC Radio 2 programme, Paddy revealed his predictions and said: "Folks, hot off the press, Maya Jama is going to win it. That's all I'm saying, I've worked with Maya loads of times over the years and she is so lovely that you'd genuinely go, 'It can't be her! It can't be her!' There you go, get down the bookies."
One fan on X wrote: "Maya Jama is going to win The Traitors, she's going totally under the radar." Another added: "Maya is a really good Traitor. Not a single person suspects her and so far she's playing the role of Faithful well."
Viewers will need to wait to discover whether any further Traitors are eliminated before the grand finale, which is now only days away. The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One on Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm.
