Claudia teases ‘extraordinary’ Traitors twist as fans speculate about new red cloak

Claudia Winkleman has teased some “truly extraordinary” twists in the forthcoming series of The Traitors, after a recent trailer hinted at a major change to the show’s format.

Viewers have been sharing their theories on social media after a teaser released on Christmas Day showed a figure wearing a red cloak, in a departure from the usual green worn by the traitors.

“All I will say is there’s something new, and what happens in this series is truly extraordinary with moments that made me gasp,” Winkleman said ahead of the series launch.

Details of the new twist will not be revealed until the show’s fourth regular series begins at 20:00 GMT on New Year’s Day.
