The fourth traitor has finally been revealed after the first episode of series two ended on a huge cliffhanger.
Veterinary nurse Miles, 36, from Birmingham, has been chosen as the fourth and final traitor – with fans branding him an ‘unexpected’ choice.
During the launch show on Wednesday, host Claudia Winkleman , 51, announced Harry, Ash and Paul as the three chosen Traitors.
The other 19 contestants remain as Faithfuls and will have to try and work out who they think could be a Traitor, before getting murdered – axed from the show.
However, bringing a totally different light to this season, the Traitors were given the task to pick a fourth Traitor to join their clan – but their identify wasn’t revealed as it ended on a dramatic cliffhanger.

Although the trio narrowed it down between Andrew, Diane, Miles or Sonja to join them, viewers were forced to wait until Thursday’s episode to find out who was picked.
Speaking to the camera, Miles said after the reveal: ‘I’m a traitor, crazy!’
He then said to the other three traitors: ‘I had no idea it would be those three who had chosen me. Baffled!’
Fans were quick to share their opinion on the ‘unexpected’ choice, with one penning on X: ‘Miles is a traitor??? I was not expecting that’
Another wrote: ‘That was a good choice. Wouldn’t suspect Miles being a Traitor’
Traitor Miles said before going on the show that he has done the ‘cookie cutter’ life by having a husband, going to college and having a family and thinks this will be a change.
He said: ‘I went to school, went to college, got my qualification, found my husband, had a family. I just thought I’ve done everything so ‘correc’.

‘When I saw the show, I thought it was quite clever, quite different. It was nicely done. I like that the show has normal, everyday people.
‘There are going to be times when you’re going to have beef with people, because we’ll get so involved in the roles that we’re playing. It’s just that, I’m playing a role.
‘As long as my nearest and dearest know that then that’ll make me feel a bit better – it’s not real life.’
Miles said when he told his mother he was doing TV, she said it was OK ‘as long as it’s not something like Love Island’.
And on what he’d spend the prize money on, he said: ‘Loads of plastic surgery! No, I’m joking.
‘What I really want to do is get our forever home. I’d like to pay off our debts and get into our forever home and really settle our roots.
‘Whilst everything is fine as it is, it would be lovely to go forward with that and live somewhere in the country.’
The Traitors series two opening episode pulled in an impressive 3.1million viewers as it returned to the BBC on Wednesday night
The Traitors series two opening episode pulled in an impressive 3.1million viewers as it returned to the BBC on Wednesday night.
The show which aired from 9pm-10pm peaked with around 3.1million watching, according to data supplied by overnights.tv .
The numbers will likely shoot up further on iPlayer over the coming days as many that would have been watching live could have instead been tuned into the PDC World Darts Championship featuring phenomenon Luke Littler .
It is a significant increase on the numbers watching last year’s opening episode, which hit 2.9million viewers.
Series two’s opening episode was also second highest overnight rating yet for the show overall – only slightly less than the series one final.
That final was watched by 3.3million as the show came to a dramatic conclusion.
Aubrey, 57, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, was the first player to be ‘murdered’ on season 2.
It was decided by Traitors Ash, Miles, Paul and Harry that the retired shop owner was a little too observant, which was making them feel uneasy.
