Only a few days into the new season of The Traitors and we’re already gripped by the endless web of deceit and backstabbing.
Just last Wednesday in the series opener, Alexander, Fozia, and Jack volunteered to give up their spots on the show for the greater good – but it turns out their Traitors journey wasn’t over just yet.
The three contestants who made the ultimate sacrifice are reportedly set to make a stunning comeback, vying once again for the grand prize.
Wales Online reports how a show insider spilled to The Sun: “It took months of careful and stringent casting to scour the nation for the best characters, with producers sifting through over 300,000 applications.
“So Beeb bosses weren’t going to let these three brilliant personalities go without any proper airtime.”
“It was all left to chance in the first few scenes as to who would get kicked off the show, as the contestants decided among themselves.
“So producers had planned all along to save the trio and reinstate them further down the line as the game hots up.
“A ruthless new challenge will be introduced to maximise the drama and see contestants vying for survival. It’s going to be nail-biting viewing.”
The return of some familiar faces was hinted at in Friday’s cliffhanger, which saw three masked figures arriving in a horse-drawn carriage marked “rail replacement” – a nod to their initial arrival on the train.
This sparked speculation among fans that the previously eliminated contestants could be making a comeback.
One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their theory: “#TraitorsUK The ones who got off the train will be back for sure! Can’t wait it will change the game!!”.
Another viewer echoed this sentiment, writing: “Rail Replacement – I knew it #TheTraitorsUK.”
The Traitors airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
