Following the thrilling conclusion of the hit RTE series of The Traitors Ireland fans won’t have to wait long, as BBC's The Celebrity Traitors will begin airing in the UK from October 8, and here is where Irish fans of the show will be able to watch.
The BBC has announced that the new celebrity franchise of the massively popular series will premiere on Wednesday October 8 with a star-studded cast.
They have confirmed that The Celebrity Traitors is coming to iPlayer and BBC One from Wednesday October 8.
Irish fans of the franchise will be able to watch the new series of The Celebrity Traitors, the same time as it airs in the UK, on the BBC One channel at 9 pm.
However, series will not be available to stream on the RTE Player.
Though it is not yet confirmed, it may become available to stream on the player at a future date similar to previous seasons of The Traitors UK that became available once the series had completed airing on the BBC channels.
The celebrity series will premiere with an extra-long first episode, as fans will be treated to 70 minutes of treachery.
The series will then air two episodes a week, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 9pm.
Speaking on the cast for the celebrity instalment, host Claudia Winkleman said: “We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them, and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie.”
The prize for The Celebrity Traitors differs from a typical The Traitors as instead of winning the money for themselves, the celebrities will compete for the chance of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
The highly anticipated release of The Celebrity Traitors is Wednesday October 8 and Irish fans will be able to watch the premiere on the BBC One channel at 9pm.
