From secret family trees to explosive game plans and “fatal” errors, The Traitors series 4 has been more wildly dramatic than we could have ever anticipated. What we really weren’t expecting, though, is the drama that's happening outside the castle. More specifically, on The Traitors spin-off show The Traitors: Uncloaked, which is apparently revealing major spoilers that give away who will be banished next.
How? Well, viewers have complained that the guests on The Traitors: Uncloaked are “themed” around who will be banished or murdered next. As the spin-off’s line-up is released in advance, that means fans can technically work out who’s leaving ahead of The Traitors’ episode airing. So, we’ve dug into the theory to see if there’s any truth to it - here's why it's giving the whole the game away.
What are fans saying about the spin-off show The Traitors: Uncloaked?
Fans have claimed that The Traitors: Uncloaked is accidentally giving away spoilers for the main series. That’s because, as one social media user explained, the guests on the spin-off series have a link to the player who’s been banished or murdered. As the guest line-up is released ahead of time, and often presenter Ed Gamble concludes an episode by announcing who’s on the next, it’s been accused of accidentally revealing who’s left the castle.
Has The Traitors: Uncloaked given the game away?
Yes, it seems The Traitors: Uncloaked has given the game away to some degree if we look at the evidence. Fans pointed out that when Faithful Amanda got banished by chance, the guest was Mark Bonnar, who met the same fate on Celebrity Traitors. Similarly, viewers had worked out Maz had been murdered face-to-face, because the guest on The Traitors: Uncloaked, Fozia, was murdered in the same way on series 3. Finally, some had predicted Fiona’s banishment as fellow Welsh women, Celebrity Traitors’ Charlotte Church and series 1 Traitor Amanda, joined host Ed. Hmm! There is, of course, always the chance that this has purely happened by coincidence.
Who are the guests on the next episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked?
On the seventh episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked, Ed will be joined by Clare Balding, who was the third Faithful banished on Celebrity Traitors, plus The Traitors series 1 Faithful, Maddy Smedley.
What could the upcoming guests on The Traitors: Uncloaked mean?
Sadly, for Jessie, this means she could be the next Faithful to be banished as she has similarities to upcoming The Traitors: Uncloaked guest, Maddy. If you recall in series 1, Maddy was pretty much the only Faithful to correctly accuse Wilf of being a Traitor early on, while Jessie is the only player who’s constantly suspected Traitor Stephen. However, this is just one theory - we can't confirm this for sure.
What to read next
Has The Traitors: Uncloaked responded to the theory?
As it stands, the BBC hasn't responded to the theory. Interestingly, we did notice on the BBC’s website that the descriptions for The Traitors: Uncloaked’s future episodes, beyond the upcoming seventh, do not name any guests. Perhaps the BBC has realised its mistake and rectified it!
When is The Traitors: Uncloaked on next?
The next episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked will air on BBC One at 9.05pm on Wednesday 14th January.
