Traitors winner 'uncloaked' as backstabbing begins tonight amid revenge plan

Fans of The Traitors have just days to go until they discover just who has bagged the BBC show's cash prize, but have the winners already been revealed?

The ultimate murder mystery returns to our screens once again this evening, with Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman and her fabulous fringe ready to rock the castle and host the first of the series' final three episodes.

BBC bosses have gone all out to send the second series of nation's new favourite reality TV show off in style this year - with 110 minutes of The Traitors content planned to air across BBC One and BBC Two on Friday night for the finale.

The final episode on BBC One will give the remaining Faithfuls and Traitors one last chance to figure each other out to win the prize pot. After this, spin-off show Uncloaked on BBC Two, hosted by Ed Gamble, will reunite the 22 players for the first time since they were either killed off or banished from the game.

Will the final episodes of The Traitors see Ross avenge his mother's 'death'?

Friday's episode of the show didn't leave viewers waiting for days to discover the results of a cliff-hanger, like previous weeks, but there's been lots of guessing regarding what new Traitor Ross will do next following his recruitment to the team of Traitors that 'murdered' his fizzy rose loving mum Diane. At the end of last week's episode, Ross told viewers: "My mum was murdered, so I will take revenge. If I get an opportunity, they're getting it!"

So will Ross go full Hamlet and get his revenge and nab the cash prize for himself and Diane along the way? Or is ruthless Harry going to prove too tough of match for the disgruntled son? James Leyfield, who knows all about reality TV betting, has made some predictions about who might be kicked out next and who could win.

Despite possibly slipping up by recruiting Ross, Harry is the 4/6 favourite with odds makers Gambling.com to be the last Traitor standing and scoop the prize pot in Friday night's finale, thanks to playing an incredible game and taking down his fellow Traitor Paul. Amid his revenge mission, Ross is 2/1 to be the last Traitor standing, but it's possible the pair go head-to-head at some point and end up effectively taking each other out, which could pave the way for Andrew (5/1) to sail along and take all the cash.

Reality TV betting expert James thinks it's unlikely Ross will go for the jugular and vote for Harry to be banished at the next roundtable, despite being keen to avenge mum Diane's 'murder'. However, it's 5/1 that he does, but 1/5 that he keeps his cards close to his chest for at least one more roundtable, especially as Ross already predicted it would be "so easy to get Jasmine out" at the next banishment.

In fact, Jasmine is the favourite to be banished next - with her odds of being incorrectly chosen as a Traitor 4/6 and James predicting a 60% chance we'll see her ousted on the show this evening. Zack isn't safe either, thanks to his name cropping up in many a conversation between Traitors and Faithfuls alike, and he is 2/1 second favourite to depart next due to a roundtable vote.

Jaz, nicknamed Jazatha Christie by fans of the show thanks to his ability to pick out Traitors so far, could possibly live to regret his detective skills being on point, with his odds of being the next to be 'murdered' coming in at 2/1. If Jaz survives the Traitors' next killing spree, Mollie could be likely to get the dreaded letter, with her odds at 5/1 making her the second favourite to be murdered.

And just who will win the second series of The Traitors? We'll have to tune in on Friday night to be sure but thanks to the pesky Traitors currently having the upper hand with just three episodes to go, bookies are offering just 1/3 that a Traitor wins the second series of the show, but 3/1 the Faithful manage to identify each member of their enemy. It's bad news for Traitor Andrew, because if a Traitor does steal the prize money, it's predicted to be Harry (evens) or newbie Traitor Ross (3/1), with Andrew just 8/1 to go all the way and be victorious.
