Since then, fans have been desperate to know whether the BBC will be faithful to The Traitors or cancel the show.

Thankfully, the broadcaster has finally confirmed they're 100% no traitors to the show and it will be back for another round.

Claudia will also return as host to the British version of the series.

About the return, Claudia said: ";I can’t wait to go back to the castle to watch people play the greatest game on television. I’m knitting a high funnel sweater immediately."

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, added: "Last year’s ambitious and bingeable hit The Traitors with Claudia Winkleman is coming back with the brilliant team at Studio Lambert set to bring viewers another magnificent series full of drama and suspense.

"We can certainly expect even more deceit and psychological games for the Traitors and the Faithfuls."

Casting for season two is now officially underway, with Claudia donning the show's iconic Traitor cloaks in order to make a callout for those taking part.

She asks: "Can you spot a liar? Could you betray those around you? How would you fare at the round table?

"What I'm asking is: would you like to play?"

The Traitors is available for catch-up on BBC iPlayer.
