Watch The Traitors UK Season 3 - Preview
We all know the drill by now: betrayal, deception, inconvenient truths and convincing lies. But that doesn’t make it any less thrilling as we've watched a new batch of contestants try and weed out the Traitors in their midst. Claudia Winkleman and her stunning knitwear once again returned to host the show, and I was left screaming at the TV on more than one occasion. Missed out on all the fun and treachery? Here's how to watch The Traitors UK Season 3 and stream all episodes for free with BBC iPlayer and stream from anywhere with a VPN now.
For the uninitiated, The Traitors invited 22 contestants to Ardross Castle as the game unfolded over twelve episodes. Most of the contestants are designated Faithfuls, but a select few are the Traitors, who must hide themselves among the Faithfuls and discard them one by one.
A roundtable takes place each day, with the Faithfuls given an opportunity to vote off a player they believe to be traitorous. Get it right, you’re one step close to a potential £120,000 prize. Get it wrong, another Faithful is sent home and the Traitors’ influence grows.
In order to build the prize fund, players partake in daily missions. Seemingly a nice break from the tensions of the castle, it's also an opportunity to witness any potentially suspicious behavior of could-be Traitors.
Should any Traitors remain at the end of the game, they leave with the cash, but should the Faithful eliminate them all, they’ll take home the money. There’s also the small matter of the Traitors being able to "murder" the Faithful they see as the biggest threat each night.
Season 3 saw the return of the murdering in plain sight caveat (in an all new, anxiety inducing way), as well as a couple of absolutely stunning twists right at the end that really shook up the gameplay come the final.
Every season I wonder if it can build upon its exhilarating past seasons, and Studio Lambert prove they can. If you didn't happen to tune in and scream along with the rest of the nation, read on for how to watch The Traitors UK Season 3 online and stream all the episodes now from anywhere, and for free on BBC iPlayer right now.

Who Won The Traitors UK Season 3?
Following another brutal banishment, Frankie's power of the "Seer" ultimately brought suspicion on Charlotte who had otherwise floated steadily under the radar. With a new twist in circulation revealed at the start of the season by Claudia, players banished during the final would not reveal their true identity. This made it even harder to determine who between Frankie and Charlotte were telling the truth following their meeting. Before entering the endgame, the remaining players had to decide whether or not to banish again. Ultimately, this saw Alexander and Frankie also banished, with Alexander having failed to shake suspicion since returning to the game. Leanne and Jake entered the endgame and revealed their identities as Faithfuls, meaning they had won and would share the prize fund of £94,600.
Who Were The Traitors In The Traitors UK Season 3?
Armani, Linda, and Minah were chosen as Traitors in Season 3 of The Traitors UK by Claudia Winkleman. Armani was successfully banished in Episode 3 after receiving the most amount of votes at the round table.
As with previous seasons, we could see Faithfuls recruited and brought onto the dark side as the season progresses. In Episode 4, the remaining Traitors were given the option to either murder or attempt to recruit a new Traitor. They chose to try and seduce Anna, who ultimately refused their offer and shared that she had received this offer at the following round table.
Following Linda's banishment in Episode 7, Minah was instructed by Claudia that she had to try and recruit, with the chosen Faithful receiving an ultimatum to either be recruited or be murdered. Charlotte accepted and joined the female stronghold in the turret.
However, with whispers of Minah's name around the castle, Charlotte had to secure her place in the final. Suspicions came to a head in Episode 10, and Minah was banished (with a vote from fellow Traitor Charlotte to really kick a girl down). Charlotte was then asked to give an ultimatum to another Traitor. She chose Freddie, who accepted, with both then instructed to pick another Faithful to murder that night.
Three steps ahead, Charlotte put Leanne's name on the chopping board, aware she was only one of four people aware that Leanne actually won the shield in that day's mission. This would be a missed murder on the Traitors part, but, playing into Charlotte's hands, would raise suspicions on Freddie unaware of her shield. In Episode 11, at the final banishment ahead of the finale, he was banished and his Traitor role was revealed.
Were Any Contestants Eliminated From The Traitors UK Season 3?
Generally, the only way out of the game of The Traitors is by banishment or murder. However, The Traitors UK has been known to throw a spanner into the works right at the start of the season, seeing 2-3 contestants out of the game straight off the bat.
This happened at the beginning of Season 3 as contestants were on their way to the castle via steam train. Propositioned with £10,000 to start off the prize fund, contestants were given ten minutes to decide which three should exit the game immediately, with the £10,000 dwindling down with a grand lost for every minute they spent making the decision.
Taking one for the team, former British diplomat Alexander, community development manager Fozia, and Jack-of-all-trades handyman Jack walked off the train and £7,000 was earned for the prize fund.
In Episode 4, the three had the chance to reenter the game. Left swinging up high in cages, the current contestants had to search for coins and, as a democracy, dropping the coins in the corresponding tube to bring just two of the three back into the game. Fozia was first to have her cage drop back to the ground, with Alexander ultimately the second to return to the game. They reentered the game as Faithfuls and both had shields they could give to a player of their choosing after the night's banishment. Fozio gave hers to Leanne, while Alexander unknowingly gave his to Traitor Minah.
Where Was The Traitors UK Season 3 Filmed?
The Traitors UK is filmed in Ardross Castle, north of Inverness in Scotland. This is also home to the US version of the show.
Was There a Traitors UK Spin-Off Show?
The Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by comedian Ed Gamble, aired on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer after each episode of the main show, with all episodes now available to stream. Extended versions are available via BBC Sounds.
Who Won Season 2 of The Traitors UK?
A nail-biting Season 2 Finale saw Traitor Harry walk away with the prize money after convincing Faithful Mollie, with whom he'd forged a genuine friendship, to vote off fellow Faithful Jaz.
Are There Other Versions of The Traitors?
There are a number of international versions of the show, including the Dutch original. Of note, the other English language versions come from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The US version, hosted by Alan Cumming, is set to air its own third season alongside the UK.
Assorted versions can be streamed for free on BBC iPlayer in the UK and 10Play in Australia.
