The Traitors series three saw 22 new contestants arrive at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands in a bid to bag a potentially huge prize fund.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the reality TV show usually runs for four weeks and airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Friday nights on BBC One.
If the contestants are able to avoid murders and eliminations they could find themselves in the final and therefore in the running to win the cash prize – or at least some of it.
Here's how much The Traitors win, how the contestants add to the cash prize and what happens at the end of the show.

How much do The Traitors win?
The solo winner or group of winners can bag up to £120,000 by the end of the game.
It is up to the contestants taking part to build up the cash prize over the course of the show by completing gruelling tasks.
Each challenge will have a maximum potential cash prize which, when added together, equals a total amount of £120,000.
How do they win The Traitors cash prize?
After weeks of eliminations and murders, the game will be left with its finalists after they decide there are no more Traitors among them.
All the final contestants will then be up to win the cash prize, hoping they have eliminated all the Traitors in the game.
If all members of the finalists are Faithfuls, they will split the cash equally among themselves. However, if there is a Traitor still amongst them during the final, the Traitor will win the entire cash prize.
The finalists decide whether they believe there is a Traitor still among them using ceremonial pouches which light up green or red when thrown in the fire. If they light up red, it means that contestant believes there is still a Traitor in the group, which means they go to a vote to eliminate someone.
When all players vote green with the ceremonial pouches, the game ends and the Traitors (if there are any) and Faithfuls are revealed, along with the fate of the prize money.
