"The Celebrity Traitors" season 2 episode 8 airs in the U.K. On Friday, October 23 at 8pm, on BBC One, with the episode also available to stream on BBC iPlayer. It's free to watch with a valid U.K. TV license.
The episode follows a tense run of twists. A murder carried out in plain sight claimed Ross Kemp, with Claudia's on-screen reveal sending the Faithful into a frenzy of theorising. There was also a new challenge set in the previously unseen Traitors' Lair, where players had to assemble a shield puzzle for a chance at a £9,500 prize pot while blindfolded, all while the Traitors quietly tried to build a shield of their own using pieces swiped from the others. At the Round Table, suspicion fell on Joanne after Miranda said she felt the floor move during the blindfolded task, though the group banished Jerry instead.
Where to watch
Country | Channel or service | Free or paid --- | --- | --- U.K. | BBC One / BBC iPlayer | Free (with TV license) U.S. | Peacock | Release date not yet announced Canada | Crave | Not stated by source Australia | 10Play | Free (account required)
Scheduling differences
New episodes in the U.K. Go out Thursdays and Fridays. Canada's Crave carries new episodes on Fridays and Saturdays. Australia's 10Play release schedule runs Wednesdays and Thursdays but sits a week behind the U.K., so Australian viewers are watching events that U.K. Audiences have already seen, and spoilers are easy to run into online. Peacock has confirmed it will carry the U.K. Series in the U.S., but has not set a date.
What to expect
The season's remaining players are heading toward the endgame, and the balance of power has tilted. James Acaster, Maya Jama and Kenny are the Traitors still in play after one of their own, Professor Hannah Fry, was banished earlier in the series along with Richard E. Grant. On the Faithful side, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Michael Sheen, Sebastian Croft, Amol Rajan and Julie Hesmondhalgh remain, though Rajan and Hesmondhalgh have also been murdered or banished depending on when a given recap catches up, and the cast list keeps thinning fast. With Ross Kemp murdered and Jerry Hall banished in the episode just aired, the next murder, aimed at Romesh, Sebastian or Miranda, is expected to rattle whatever trust the Faithful have left.
Free viewing is limited to the U.K., through BBC iPlayer with a valid television license, and to Australia, through a free 10Play account. Viewers in the U.S. Will need to wait for Peacock's date, and Canadian viewers need a Crave subscription to watch along with the Friday and Saturday releases.
