It was the TV show which reeled people in with its original premise and gripping insight into the human psyche last winter, and now thankfully The Traitors is back for a second series.
The show returns on January 3rd at 9pm on BBC One with a whole new cohort of traitors and faithfuls, and, of course, Claudia Winkleman too. When the trailer for the second series dropped back in November, it's safe to say the internet was pretty excited by the news...
