The Traitors star’s hilarious response to ‘cheeky’ fans


It has been another huge start for the BBC’s blockbuster reality in 2026. The introduction of a Secret Traitor has kept audiences - and the game’s own traitors - guessing.
In the final episode of the first week, viewers were left on a huge cliffhanger as the hidden traitor was about to be revealed. The date for the next episode has been confirmed - and there isn’t long to wait.
However, some ‘cheeky’ fans have tried to get a jump on the reveal and find out the identity early. In a post on her Instagram story, series four star Rachel Duffy wrote: “Folks you do realise a wee cheeky DM promising you’ll not tell anyone who the secret traitor is if I tell you isn’t going to happen.”
It is expected that the identity of the secret traitor will be revealed in Wednesday’s (January 7) episode. The Traitors is due to start at 8pm throughout the rest of the season.
Banished contestant delivers verdict on Secret Traitors twist
Speaking after his banishment last week, former traitor Hugo said: “At first, I was annoyed to hear there was a Secret Traitor. I do not require middle management or supervision!
“However, I changed my game plan slightly to hunt down the Secret Traitor, ultimately becoming a bit obsessed and taking a very high risk.”
He added: “I've got mixed feelings about leaving the game. I love the game, and I think it's important that everyone plays to win. When I was there, it was such a fun time, I don’t think I fell out with anyone and I didn't do anything particularly devious or dastardly. So yeah, it was a great fun time to be there, but a good time to go. Always leave them wanting more.”
