Major BBC reality show CONFIRMED for epic comeback
A MAJOR BBC reality show has been confirmed for an epic comeback.
And fans will be buzzing to hear a familiar face is back at the helm.
It’s understood The Traitors has been approved for a second season, with Strictly’s Claudia Winkleman resuming presenting duties on the Beeb hit.
A source claims the gruelling gameshow, set at the 19th century Ardross Castle, 25 miles north of Inverness, is due to start filming in late summer, according to the The Mirror.
A TV insider said: “These days almost every new series is a reboot of something that’s gone before.
“So it’s really nice to try something fresh – and for it to do well. The Traitors got everyone talking, so bringing it back was a no-brainer. Claudia was perfect.”
The show sees a group of contestants trying to work out who the real traitor of the pack is.
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be Traitors.
On arriving at a grand Scottish castle, a small group are secretly selected by the host to be “traitors”, after which the remaining “faithfuls” get eliminated by being “murdered” by the traitors.
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
It comes after a brand new series of The Traitors hit BBC iPlayer tomorrow – but there was a major twist.
And a contestant who starred in The Traitors has insisted that he’s not a bully after facing backlash over a row with a co-star on the show.
John McManus, from Edinburgh, starred in the the hit BBC One contest fronted by Claudia Winkleman.
