We know, we know – it seems almost criminal to start thinking about the end of The Traitors season 2 already, but it has now been confirmed when the finale will air.

While many of us hang in limbo after the cliffhanger of episode 3, we can at least mark a date in our calendars for that final fateful showdown – and it’s not far away at all.

The finale of The Traitors season 2 will air on BBC One and iPlayer on Friday 26th January at 9pm.

It may seem very soon but actually, the new season consists of 12 episodes that are being released in three-episode batches each week, so there is plenty of action still to come.

The finale will draw to a close a season that will undoubtedly be packed full of tense confrontations, speculation, banishments and murders, as it will finally be revealed whether Traitors or Faithfuls take home the cash prize.

So far, only three episodes into the new season, we’ve had multiple murders, a fourth Traitor twist, an epic mother-son duo being revealed, and now fans of the show wait to see whether Ash or Brian will be banished in tonight’s (Wednesday 10th January) episode.

The third episode of the season saw the roundtable reach new nerve-wracking heights, with Brian getting increasingly flustered with his decision and Ash being turned on by her fellow traitors Paul and Harry. But who will be sent packing?

Well, in an exclusive RadioTimes.com poll, fans think that Ash will be banished with more than 50 per cent of voters predicting it. The deciding vote will be cast by Anthony, a Faithful who has been the subject of Diane‘s suspicion.

While the series has been quite the emotional rollercoaster already, banished Faithful Sonja revealed to RadioTimes.com that she actually had her suspicions about Paul after noticing a change in personality.

She shared: “I was pretty suspicious of Paul, because he is a really nice guy and I met him on the railway station. We were probably one of the early ones at that station, so we were chatting a little bit there, as you may have seen. He was just so nice.

“And then the day after Claudia had chosen her Traitors, he went, like, supersonically nice. I just noticed a step change in the level of his total nicety. And I thought, ‘Blimey, you’ve got super nice so perhaps, maybe – yeah, interesting…’”
