BBC’s hotly-anticipated series The Traitors returned to screens on Wednesday night with Claudia Winkleman as host again.
Already fans were left in turmoil after having to chose what to watch between The Traitors and the World Darts Championship final.
And if that wasn’t enough, the show ended on a huge cliffhanger, leaving fans to wait a whole 24-hours until the next episode.
On Wednesday’s launch show, Claudia, 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 the clang – 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 will have to wait until Thursday night’s episode to find out.
Fans raced to X, formerly known as Twitter, in fury after the episode ended right on a climax.

‘I forgot how much this show loves a cliffhanger’.
‘I hate the cliffhanger because I wanted to try and watch as they air but now I can’t believe I have to wait a day’.
‘Ok I’m giving in and going to watch the next episode. That cliffhanger was too evil to leave on it’.
22 strangers are playing the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000.

In the show, the majority of contestants are ‘Faithfuls’ and must work out who amongst them are ‘Traitors’ – who have the opportunity to ‘murder’ a fellow contestant each night.
The group has daily ‘banishments’ in which they must vote to kick out who they think is a Traitor, all while working together on challenges to raise money for the prize fund.
In addition, the contestants compete in various ‘missions’, which up until now have had the aim of increasing the prize pot.
But as she addressed the castmates for the 2024 season as they lined up beside a loch, Claudia revealed that this year’s missions have arrived with a new twist.
As well as providing the opportunity of raising £15,000 for the prize pot, Claudia added a surprising new layer to the challenges.
