But amidst all the twists and turns fans are convinced a new celebrity will be entering the castle – and they think they know who it is.
With the heavy emphasis on the screaming banshees being female – viewers reckon it’s a hint.
One wrote: “New celeb replacing one of the murderees?
“Would only happen early on in the series and would be a woman because CW specified that banshees are female (thought it was odd she mentioned that)”
Another added: “I love this idea.”
And this fan thinks they know who it is after appearing to spot a clue.
They added: “I noticed one of the lockets said ‘Phoebe’. Please bring in Phoebe Waller Bridge halfway through!”
It comes as The Celebrity Traitors has overtaken Strictly Come Dancing as Britain’s most-watched TV series, with a staggering 7.1m tuning in this week.
The spin-off show launched last Wednesday on BBC One with a respectable 6.1m viewers, but the buzz around the star-studded contest has seen its ratings soar by a further million.
Last week’s Strictly, which is also hosted by Claudia Winkleman, had 6.9m watching on Saturday night, while some episodes of the dance contest have been as low as 5.6m this series.
Taking seven days of catch up via BBC iPlayer into consideration, the first episode of The Celebrity Traitors has been watched by over 11.7m viewers in the first seven days alone – and the figure is likely to have now topped 12m. Of those at least 2.2m people aged 16-34 have viewed it.
More people watched the show in that week than watched any other Traitors series over in 28 days.
That sees the show break its own record for most viewed episode of the programme and The Celebrity Traitors the biggest unscripted episode in British TV since 2022.
