Who will win The Celebrity Traitors 2026? The BBC’s hit reality series reaches its dramatic conclusion tonight, Friday 30 October, with the remaining contestants battling to claim victory in the castle. With two Traitors still hiding among the Faithfuls, one final murder to uncover and the prize money for charity on the line, tonight’s finale promises plenty of twists before the winners are crowned.
CultureCues will be updating this article live throughout the finale, bringing you the latest eliminations, the identity of the final murder victim, what happens at the roundtable and, of course, the all-important result. Will the Faithfuls finally uncover the remaining Traitors, or will the Traitors manage to deceive their way to victory?
What Happened Before The Celebrity Traitors Finale?
Thursday’s penultimate episode saw three contestants leave the castle, beginning with Joanne McNally, who was wrongly banished after King Kenny cast the deciding vote. Sharon Rooney was then revealed as the Traitors’ latest murder victim, leaving the Faithfuls with another two innocent departures.
However, Michael Sheen finally started putting the pieces together, questioning James Acaster and Maya Jama over the murder of Ross Kemp. Acaster ultimately admitted that he had been recruited as a Traitor, leading to his banishment and giving the Faithfuls a much-needed victory.
Before the episode ended, Michael also warned his fellow contestants to keep an eye on Maya, especially if he became the next murder victim. After avoiding suspicion for much of the series, Maya now heads into the finale with some serious explaining to do.
Who Is Left in The Celebrity Traitors Final?
Maya Jama and King Kenny are the two remaining Traitors, facing five Faithfuls: Michael Sheen, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, James Blunt, Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan. With another murder still possible, the final line-up could change before the contestants reach the last roundtable.
