**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Celebrity Traitors episodes 1-3**
As fans wait desperately for the next episode of The Celebrity Traitors, it has been confirmed exactly when the season finale will air – and it will be a longer wait than usual.
While episodes have thus far been airing on Wednesday and Thursday nights, the finale to the nine-part season will air on BBC One on Thursday 6th November at 9pm, skipping Wednesday 5th and arriving a full week after episode 8, which airs on Thursday 30th October.
Thankfully, the wait looks set to be worth it, as the episode will be an extra long instalment, lasting for 70 minutes.
The finale will be followed directly by an extended episode of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked on on BBC Two and Sounds, hosted as usual by Ed Gamble, who will be joined by the all-star cast, the finalists and Claudia Winkleman.
