The casting stage for the fourth season of the UK version of The Traitors has now begun – find out how to apply below.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the reality series features a group of contestants holed up in a Scottish castle, with a small selection of ‘Traitors’ trying to eliminate the remaining ‘Faithful’ contestants, while also trying to evade capture.
The third season is currently airing on BBC One in the UK, with the final three episodes set to air from January 22 to 24. The victorious contestants will win their share of the grand prize, worth up to £120,000, although if any Traitors remain at the end, they will take the total prize themselves.
Back in August, the BBC announced that they had renewed the show for a fourth season, and also confirmed there would be a celebrity version of the show, with both new series set to be recorded in 2025.
The application process for the next regular season is now open, with production company Studio Lambert stating that they are looking for “smart, funny and strategic people to take part in the ultimate game of trust and treachery”.
“Do you have what it takes to catch a Traitor?” it continues. “Or would you betray everyone and do whatever it takes to win? Get them before they get you!”
Members of the public must be 18 years of age or older and have the right to reside in the UK. You have until February 9 to submit their applications – you can do so here.

“I got on the train, they sat opposite me because I’m sitting on the seats with tables, and so far they’ve said that I need a stepladder to get on the train, I’m a midget, they’ve watched dwarf throwing, they’ve taken videos of me, they’ve taken photos of me, they said I’ve got sausage fingers, and they’ve laughed at me.”
Sharing that she felt “really fucking shit” after the incident, she finished with a plea to fans: “If you ever see someone that’s different or with a disability, just please be kinder to them.
