The Celebrity Traitors is back tonight, picking up straight from last Friday’s cliffhanger after another dramatic episode in the castle. James Acaster is now officially the third Traitor, joining Maya Jama and Richard E Grant after being recruited in the chapel, and the first round table has already put one of them under serious pressure.

Richard took a lot of heat during the first round table and looked like he could be in real trouble, but the episode ended before the result was revealed. It may well be his time, but with The Traitors, anything can happen, so tonight we’ll finally find out who becomes the first celebrity banished and whether Jerry or Hannah is the next murder victim.

What Time Is The Celebrity Traitors on Tonight?

The Celebrity Traitors Episode 3 begins at 8pm tonight, Thursday 8 October, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The episode will continue from the first round table and banishment, which was left unresolved at the end of last Friday’s episode. That means tonight will begin with the first celebrity leaving the game before attention turns back to the Traitors and their next moves.

When Is The Celebrity Traitors Episode 4?

Viewers will not have to wait another week after tonight’s episode. Episode 4 airs tomorrow, Friday 9 October, at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. That gives The Celebrity Traitors two episodes across Thursday and Friday this week.

For CultureCues, we have been waiting all week to find out how that first banishment plays out, so we are very ready for tonight’s episode. The Celebrity Traitors has already been TV gold, and we’re desperate to see whether Richard survives all the suspicion around him, who the Traitors choose to murder next and what happens once the game moves on from that first round table. We’ll be watching tonight and updating as soon as the result is in. Cloaks at the ready!

The Celebrity Traitors Episode 3 airs Thursday 8 October, at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
