And just like that, the Traitors final is almost upon us. Yes, another year of gothic castle shenanigans, giant cosy knits, turret plotting, emerald cloaks and breakfast table accusations is coming to an end. But before we all start mourning the loss, we can look forward to what is sure to be another epic Traitors final.

The BBC has announced that the much-anticipated final is fast-approaching, but before we get into all of the nitty-gritty details, a reminder of the journey so far. And what a wild ride it has been. At the beginning, Rachel, Stephen and Hugo were selected as Traitors, with an impeccably dressed Claudia also selected a Secret Traitor in a twist to end all twists.

For a week or two, we all enjoyed playing Faithfuls from home until it was revealed that the gleeful Welsh Fiona had been below the red cloak pulling the strings behind the scenes. Meanwhile, secret barrister Harriet took the other barrister Hugo to court and he was banished.

After Fiona came for Rachel, the Faithfuls turned on Fiona and she was also banished. This left Rachel and Stephen in the turret – and somehow, against all logical reason, there they remain. Even after Harriet came for Rachel in one of the most exciting breakfasts ever seen in the castle.

With only eight contestants remaining, we are now getting down to the wire. Who will make it to the final? Only time will tell – and luckily, we don't have to wait too long to find out. And with that, here's everything we know about the season 4 Traitors final.
