  4. 'Is the game that easy?!' - Jake on clocking Lindapublished at 22:21 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Joint-winner Jake is telling Uncloaked host Ed Gamble about the moment he spotted traitor Linda turning her head towards Claudia right at the start of the Series, when Claudia said the word "traitors".

    "I just clocked her straight away. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought 'is the game that easy?"

    "I was expecting everyone to pick up on it but they were like 'Oh it's just Linda. I loved the whole cat and mouse thing I had with her."

  5. 'Can I have his number?': Claudia gets messages about Alexanderpublished at 22:18 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    The Traitors Host Claudia Winkleman makes a jokey apology for saying Alexander was single in an iconic moment of Series 3 where she broke the fourth wall.

    "I've had more messages about you... you are king. Friends of mine saying 'define single?' and 'What does he smell like?'

    "Divine", Claudia adds, before saying her favourite Alexander moment was him running quickly "like a wild pony".

    Frankie adds: "All my divorced friends have WhatsApped me asking 'can I have his number?'"

  6. Can an OG traitor ever win the show again?published at 22:13 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Live reporter, 100% traitor

    I've been spouting a theory to anyone who will listen that Harry’s victory in Series 2 has made it almost impossible for an ‘original’ Traitor to win.

    Harry’s under the radar ‘100% faithful’ masterclass means that anyone else playing the low-profile strategy will eventually arouse suspicion for the very fact they are NOT arousing suspicion… still with me?

    Minah had played a blinder in Series 3 up until around episode nine, but was so far off people’s radar, with not a shred of real evidence presented at any roundtables, that ‘the curse of Harry’ made people look at who they were not looking at.

    A couple of Charlotte grenades finished her off before the final episodes.

  7. 'We didn't trust each other enough' - Frankie on final four faithfulspublished at 22:09 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    On Uncloaked, we see both Frankie and Alexander receive a list of the identities of the final five - four faithfuls and one traitor.

    "I guess we didn't trust each other enough," Frankie concludes, after getting teary as she reaches the end of the list.

    Alexander cackles and says: "That is absolutely brilliant. We were all bloody faithfuls."

  8. 'I thought there was no way you'd pick your best friend' - Claudiapublished at 22:08 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    The start of the episode saw Frankie, with a glass of champagne, await to find out Charlotte's true identity. Charlotte says: "It was actually awful for both of us. There was no game plan. I just had to let her read it"

    Uncloaked host Ed Gamble: "If the game plan was to pick up a flute of champagne like a total badass, you nailed it!"

    Claudia Winkleman: "I thought there was no way you [Frankie] were going to pick Charlotte, your best friend. I could hear my own heartbeat. You couldn't write it."

  9. 'She's so powerful': What is Claudia Winkleman like on the show?published at 22:02 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    "When I met Claudia, I was so nervous because she's so powerful," says series two winner, and traitor, Harry Clark.

    "I wanted to be a traitor so badly and I thought she'd take no notice of us but actually, she knew everything about everyone.

    "She gets really involved and makes you feel really comfortable."

    How much does Claudia Winkleman know about the challenges?

    "Very little," according to Harry.

    "There's a team that create the missions and everyone else is in the dark about them. I would try off-camera to get them to tell me about it or I'd give them ideas but they wouldn't listen."

    Claudia recently said her biggest fear is accidentally giving away the traitors' identities while filming the roundtables.

    "I am absolutely paranoid about ever looking at the traitors, so I sort of look just above everybody's head," she explained.

  10. 'I had to scratch that itch'published at 22:01 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    On being picked to reveal her identity by Frankie, the Seer, Charlotte says: "It was horrendous. I had to beam."

    Frankie, on why she chose Charlotte, says: "I really wanted her to be a faithful and be affirmed. I had to scratch that itch."

  12. 'It got me on the show' - Charlotte on her fake Welsh accentpublished at 21:58 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    When asked by Ed Gamble on Uncloaked why she had settled on a fake Welsh accent, Charlotte says:

    "I literally did it on my audition video!

    "It got me on the show... and it got me to the end. It gave me the biggest headache ever. Especially when I met Elen in the kitchen.

    "But when Elen got banished, the actual Welsh person had gone and I tapered it back a bit.

    "I thought 'no-one is going to really question how you speak'."

  13. 'Babes, eyes down': Claudia sums up the seriespublished at 21:55 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    "The people who make the show are geniuses," Claudia tells The Traitors: Uncloaked host Ed Gamble.

    "I could hear my own heartbeat when Frankie was choosing who should reveal their identity. What are the chances she chooses her best friend," Claudia recounts.

    "Charlotte was so strong and faithful to the game," she says, saying that anyone else would've given up at the point she had to reveal herself to Frankie.

    Ed asks Claudia if she saw Linda's head turn when she said traitors, in episode one. "Yes. And I want to say, babes, eyes down."

    "And then, when I said you'll find your identities later, she nodded. And I'm like, what are you doing!"

    The camera pans to an embarrassed-looking Linda. "Linda, you are a gift," Claudia tells her.

    As the murdered and banished contestants exit the game, they were told - via a scroll - that Charlotte is in fact not Welsh, but born and bred in London.

    "Why?" and "what" were the most common reactions.

  15. What a final line from Claudiapublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    "I can't wait for you to find out where Charlotte's from," Claudia says in her parting line for the episode, and the series. Incredible.

    But, now, The Traitors: Uncloaked is starting - press watch live above.

  16. 'Back yourself, be yourself, and be able to defend yourself when it comes to it'published at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Those are the winning words of Jake, a co-champion of The Traitors 2025.

    Jake and Leanne will take home £47,300 each.

  17. 'Are you going back to the salon?'published at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Leanne: "I'm never going back to the salon."

    Jake: "Eh"

    Leanne: "I've never touched a set of nails in my whole life. For the past 12 years I've served as a soldier in the British Army."

    Jake: "Are you joking?! You're the strongest person here"

    The final secret is revealed, Leanne shares that she is not, in fact, a nail technician. She's managed to keep it under wraps the whole time.
