At the start of the grand final, just five contestants remained in the competition, Faithfuls Evie, Mollie and Jaz — alongside Traitors Harry and Andrew that had been hiding in plain sight - but which of them would come out triumphant? The final night before the banishment kicked off, the group sat down together one final time to enjoy a last meal together, where they each opened up about what they would spend the prize money on, should they win.

It's the series on everyone's lips at the moment - The Traitors' has been dominating the second halves of our weeks recently. After a month-long run, all the backstabbing and deceiving comes to an end tonight (Friday January 26).

As the grand finale of The Traitors creeps ever closer to its dramatic conclusion, host Claudia Winkleman has revealed the one moment on set that left her and the crew “physically shaking.” The 52 year old host, who swapped the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom for the presenting gig on the whodunnit-inspired gameshow for the second year running, opened up about her time on set on Thursday evening’s edition of The One Show, 25 January. While chatting to hosts Lauren Laverne and Alex Jones, Claudia admitted there wasn’t too much she could say about the show while it was still airing, as she didn’t want to ruin the magic for viewers at home so close to the final - or to give the game away to viewers who may not even have started watching the show yet at all.

Since The Traitors kicked off earlier this month, we've been getting to know the contestants hoping to walk away with the huge cash prize. Jasmine Boatswain is one of the Faithfuls hoping to weed out the last of the remaining Traitors ahead of the final on Friday, 26 January. Away from the show, hosed by Claudia Winkleman, it looks as though Jasmine goes by a different name.

Fans of The Traitors appear to have already picked their winner, and are hoping he'll win "solo", after Wednesday's edition of the thrilling BBC show saw fan-favourite Diane 'murdered' and Traitor Miles uncloaked and banished. The unexpected development came after his fellow Traitor Paul orchestrated the discovery of his poisoning, something which lead to Miles being voted out of the Scottish castle. As the players thanked Paul for revealing Miles as a Traitor, Paul broke down in tears and put on an Oscar- worthy show - however, fellow Traitor Harry wasn't impressed.

If there's a stand-out star from series two of The Traitors, it's Diane Carson - the 63-year-old retired teacher who's charmed fans with her no-nonsense attitude on the show, her secret family relation to fellow contestant Ross and her abrupt copper bob. Viewers of the BBC One show watched last night as Diane became the latest of the Faithful contestants to be 'killed' by the Traitors in the game, being 'murdered' in plain sight by Miles in a fittingly camp fashion - with a glass of fizzy rosé. While the fan-favourite loved filming the show over several weeks, she revealed in an exclusive chat with OK! that her friends grew concerned during her time away - as she'd left her husband to respond to her texts.

The Traitors viewers have been left pondering whether there is another secret relationship within the Scottish castle following the latest fiery banishment. It had been an intense day for the traitors and faithful following a "slow march to certain death" for fan-favourite Diane.

Fans of The Traitors have said 'how cruel' as they didn't know whether to laugh or cry over one particular detail in Diane's 'funeral' scenes. It was a long wait for fans of the BBC One show to find out if the retired headteacher had in fact drunk the fizzy wine which would see her "poisoned and killed".
