The Traitors Season 4 Cast: Who Are The Players?
The latest series features another diverse group of 22 individuals, all with their own strategies for survival and deception. Hosted by the inimitable Claudia Winkleman, the show continues to captivate audiences, with a reported 7.3 million viewers tuning in for the episode revealing the Secret Traitor.
Stephen, a 32-year-old cybersecurity consultant from London, entered as a self-proclaimed armchair expert. He was chosen as a Traitor but has faced growing suspicion after an awkward slip-up.

Adam, a 34-year-old builder from Essex, is an outspoken character who has studied body language. Rachel (42), a head of communications from County Down, was secretly selected as a Traitor and claims even her husband can't tell when she lies.
Harriet, a 52-year-old crime writer and former barrister from London, is dialling up her 'housewife' persona to downplay her analytical mind. Faraaz (22), an internal auditor from Middlesbrough, plans to play a cautious, observant game.
Ellie (33), a psychologist from London, is now seeking revenge after her boyfriend Ross was eliminated. Matthew (35), a creative director from Edinburgh, showed his cutthroat side by audaciously auditioning to become a Traitor.
Jessie, a 28-year-old hairstylist from Hull, hopes to defy expectations, and James (38), a gardener from Weymouth, believes his ADHD and poker background give him an edge.
Jade (25), a PhD student from the West Midlands, is downplaying her intellect to fly under the radar. Jack (29), a personal trainer from Essex, has deeply studied the game's psychology and plans to use Essex stereotypes to his advantage.
Who Has Been Eliminated From The Traitors?
The game has already seen several dramatic exits through murder and banishment.
Netty (42), a nursery teacher from Glasgow, was the first contestant murdered, leaving the game bittersweet but philosophical about her short time.
Judy (60), a child liaison officer from Doncaster, was the first to be banished after Faithfuls incorrectly pegged her as a Traitor.
Ben (66), a retiree from Hampshire, was the second murder victim, expressing disappointment at not being chosen as a Traitor.
Hugo (51), a barrister from London, was a Traitor whose deception was uncovered at just the second roundtable banishment.
Ross (37), a sales executive and personal trainer from London, was the third player banished. He urged his secret girlfriend, fellow contestant Ellie, to avenge him.
Maz (59), a civil servant from Preston and retired police officer, became the third Faithful to be murdered.
Amanda (57), a retired police detective from Brighton, was banished after a tense roundtable. Her presence was pivotal, however, as she caused a major fallout between Traitors Fiona and Rachel.
Reece (27), a sweet shop assistant from Sheffield, was controversially 'mercy killed' by the Traitors after struggling with the game's stress, with many Faithfuls believing his emotional display proved his innocence.
Fiona (62), a local government officer from Swansea, was the season's Secret Traitor. Her chaotic playstyle culminated in a dramatic attempt to sabotage fellow Traitor Rachel, which backfired and led to her banishment.
What Happens Next in the Castle?
With the Traitors' ranks already shaken and several strong Faithfuls still in play, the psychological battle is intensifying. Key players like Stephen and Rachel are under increasing scrutiny, while Faithfuls like Ellie and Harriet are using their professional skills to detect deception.
The remaining contestants must navigate the fallout from Fiona's explosive betrayal, with the potential for further shocking twists as they compete in missions and face the dreaded roundtable. The Traitors continues on BBC One at 8pm every Wednesday.
