**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4**

The BBC has revealed changes to the broadcast schedule for the final episode of The Traitors’ popular fourth season.

As a big fan of this series, I just wanted to let everyone know that the last episode is on BBC One tonight, January 23rd, but it’s starting a little later than usual. Normally it’s at 8pm, but tonight it doesn’t begin until 8:30pm. Don’t miss it!

The show will also be different in length, as the finale is planned to be longer than the usual 60-minute episodes.

I’m really excited for the finale! It’s going to be an hour and fifteen minutes long, wrapping up around 9:45pm, and will finally reveal who wins the amazing prize of up to £120,000. I can’t wait to see how it all ends!

The finale will pick up from Thursday night’s semi-final, which ended on a massive cliffhanger.

The atmosphere became incredibly strained when the news of Roxy’s death was revealed during breakfast.

Rachel quickly became the main suspect, and later, during a group discussion with the other players, she faced intense questioning.

Rachel wasn’t the only one facing tough questions; Faithful James was also under scrutiny.

Once the judges’ votes were split, host Claudia Winkleman explained that a random draw would decide who left the competition. The two contestants will select from the ‘Chests of Chance’ during Friday’s show to determine their fate.

After this latest challenge, whoever makes it through will be heading to the finale with Jade, Faraaz, Jack, and even Stephen – who we all know is playing a different game! I’m so excited to see who joins them.

Last week, it was revealed that the final episode will be shown in select cinemas throughout the UK. These include the Exhibit Cinema, Genesis Cinema, Picturehouse in Finsbury Park, and Clapham Grand in London.

As a huge movie fan, I’m thrilled to hear that the finale will be playing at several independent cinemas up north! Specifically, you can catch it at The Light in Stockport, Mockingbird Cinema in Birmingham, the Cultplex in Manchester, and the Showroom in Sheffield. It’s great these smaller venues are getting a chance to show it too!

Jake Brown, who won previously, had predicted that Rachel and Stephen from The Traitors would be the final two.

He added that their success comes from a combination of strong social skills, smart strategy, and a willingness to take chances, all of which have worked well together.

Whenever their names come up, people quickly change the subject. Because of this, I believe both of those players will make it to the final five.

You can continue watching season 4 of The Traitors on Friday, January 23rd at 8:30 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. If you’ve missed any previous seasons, seasons 1 through 3 are currently available to stream on iPlayer.
