Fans of The Traitors are convinced they've worked out the identity of the enigmatic red cloak Traitor featured in the programme.
The popular BBC show kicked off its fourth series on New Year's Day, with presenter Claudia Winkleman unveiling a major twist – a covert Traitor whose identity remains unknown to everyone, including those watching at home.
Claudia, 53, appointed barrister Hugo, 51, head of communications Rachel, 42, and cyber security consultant Stephen, 32, as her Traitors, alongside a clandestine fourth member....
Unlike the iconic green cloaks donned by the others, this final Traitor sports a distinctive red cloak, with their identity concealed from both viewers and fellow Traitors.
The secret Traitor, however, knows exactly who the other three are, granting them a strategic edge over the rest of the contestants, reports Wales Online.
Additionally, this hidden player will supply the other Traitors with a limited list of potential murder victims, significantly restricting their choices....
Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, quickly lit up with speculation as audiences shared their theories about the mysterious red-cloaked figure.
One viewer pondered: "What if one of the actual traitors is also the secret traitor? #thetraitors" whilst another suggested: "What if the secret Traitor is Hugo, Rachel or Stephen, and all this a a huge double bluff. #TheTraitors."
Meanwhile, a third observer remarked: "Can a selected Traitor also be the secret Traitor? Ive already got my suspicions on Hugo.. #TheTraitors."
Another viewer suggested: "Here's my #TheTraitors theory. The secret traitor is actually one of the known traitors. It keeps their number at three, which makes it more manageable, and distracts the other two traitors trying to find a phantom traitor."
Meanwhile, some fans believe Claudia herself might be the hidden Traitor in an unexpected programme twist.
One viewer commented: "The plot twist when the secret traitor isn't any of the faithful and it's revealed to be Claudia finally getting to play. #TheTraitors."
Another pondered: "Me going mad and concluding that the secret traitor is none other than.. CLAUDIA HERSELF #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors."
Whilst a separate viewer proposed: "ALSO the clip of Claudia telling the person they're the "secret red traitor" will be shown again at the final and spin around and show her looking in a mirror. I HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY #TheTraitors."
