BBC drops brand new season of The Traitors and you can binge all 12 episodes
The latest season of the show saw Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown take home the coveted cash prize, after a high-stakes finale that was filled to the brim with banishments.
Since then, the Beeb has released the star-studded cast list for the upcoming Celebrity Traitors, which includes Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church and Tom Daley among the recruits.
That show will arrive on screens this autumn, but if that feels too far away then the spin-off series The Traitors NZ has just dropped on iPlayer, with all 12 episodes now available to stream while the show airs on BBC Three.
The second season of the show sees 22 normie New Zealanders descend on Claremont Manor, which sits at the foot of Mount Horrible – real name – in Timaru.
The group of Kiwis battle it out at the roundtable in the hopes of winning up to $100,000 (equivalent to over £44,000).
The spin-off sees Claudia Winkleman's hosting shoes filled by New Zealand TV presenter Paul Henry, who also hosts the New Zealand version of The Chase, so he's the local equivalent of Bradley Walsh.

The brand new season of the murder mystery is filled with the show's classic mind games, kicking off with a wacky challenge that asks the contestants to scour the ground for body parts (albeit of a doll).
The first season of The Traitors NZ relied on offbeat casting decisions, with many contestants known to each other before entering the Manor, to make the show stand out from its British, American and Australian counterparts.
Anyone unsure whether or not to dive in, it's hard to make a dismal season of The Traitors when the format is fairly bulletproof.
After the group of Traitors are selected by Henry in the first episode, the new season quickly gets to the murdering and manipulation. More Trending
Elsewhere in The Traitors universe, the US spin-off is set to return soon with a new cast of celebrities waiting to enter the Scottish castle.
Hosted by the always brilliant Alan Cummming, the season four cast has been confirmed and includes names such as Love Island icon Maura Higgins and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna.

The Traitors NZ is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, with episodes airing on BBC Three from 8pm on July 16.

Gladiators thrown into chaos as four stars injured while filming new series
Filming for the new series of Gladiators has been thrown into chaos after a number of its stars got injured during filming for the new series, as the programme prepares to return to our screens Filming for the new series of Gladiators has been thrown into chaos after a handful of stars were injured on the set. The latest batch of episodes for the BBC programme, which was revived in 2024 with father-and-son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh at the helm, is currently in production but things have not gone entirely to plan. Legend, Bionic, Diamond and Athena are the four stars of the series that have been landed with injuries. Legend, whose real name is Matt Morsia, tore a bicep, whilst Matty Campbell, who is better known to fans as Bionic, has dislocated his shoulder. Livi Sheldon, whose Gladiators alter-ego is Diamond, ruptured the ACL and MCL in her knee. As well as all that, Athena, whose real name is Karenjeet Kaur Bains, smashed her knee. Speaking about the incidents, a source told The Sun: "Gladiators is the ultimate test of speed, strength and endurance - and four of its champions have paid the price. It just goes to show that these games are tough and even our professionals can suffer injuries!" It comes as ITV axes Noel Edmonds' big TV comeback after just one series. READ MORE: Final Strictly Come Dancing star announced as fans fume over 'underwhelming' line-up According to the outlet, all of the injuries were sustained at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield whilst cameras were rolling for the next series of the programme. But despite the individual ordeals, it has been claimed that all the stars will feature when the show goes to air later this year, and they will also all be taking part in the live tour when that hits the road this autumn. But this is not the first time that the stars have suffered such injuries, as fans will remember that Comet, real name Ella-Mae Rayner, broke her ankle and had to undergo an operation to rebuild her foot. What's more, Sheli McCoy, better known as Sabre, tore her hamstring during production, and at the time noted to Metro that the 'competitive' nature of her job meant that nothing on set 'came without risk.' However, a spokesperson for the BBC previously insised that health and safety is taken seriously on the set as they said: "The health and well-being of all Gladiators, contenders and crew is of paramount importance. Gladiators is one of the toughest and most physically demanding programmes on TV and due to the high-impact nature of the show it is not unusual for those competing to suffer injuries. "In each instance, as soon as it became apparent that a potential injury had occurred, the correct protocol was immediately followed. "The injured Gladiators are currently following medical advice and working on their recoveries.' This is the second time Gladiators has been revived on television since starting life in the 1990s, and, Athena, Bionic, Comet, Cyclone, Diamond, Dynamite, Electro, Fire, Fury, Giant, Hammer, Legend, Nitro, Phantom, Sabre, Steel, and Viper will be back on screen in 2026. The BBC's version of the hit became the most watched Saturday night series on BBC iPlayer and the third most watched Entertainment series overall. The show averaged 5.3m viewers, with nearly two fifths streaming on demand. The revival of the show has also capture younger viewers with 1.3 million tuning in for each episode, accounting for nearly a quarter of the show's overall audience. Speaking on the news, Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC says: 'Audiences have loved getting together to watch our mighty Gladiators take on contenders from all across the UK with younger fans especially excited to cheer on their Saturday night superheroes. "With this brand-new series and another Celebrity Special confirmed there will be even more epic battles, more high-octane action and of course even more foam fingers than ever before for everyone to look forward to!" Before the next series hits screens, fans will be able to catch Nitro competing in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, and he will be putting his footwork to the test for judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke. Also known as Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, he appeared in last year's Christmas edition of the programme. Upon his casting for the main competition, he said: "After the Christmas Special, it was so nice I just had to do it twice! I'm so excited to be part of the Strictly family this series and I'm ready to give it all I've got. I'll be bringing tons of energy to light up the dance floor. Let's hope I'm as quick picking up the routines as I am on the track!"

The news of their split in August 2024, just more than a year after their engagement, sparked shock and speculation he had been unfaithful. Tommy, the half-brother of boxer Tyson, denies the rumours in his new doc, saying he started drinking heavily after injuring his hand. He said: "The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol." He added: "I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone. "My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand. "I had lost my entire identity, lost my life." In the first episode of the show, Tommy''s father John says he urged Molly to leave his son, saying: "I knew from dealing with Tyson, when the drinking started to come into play I thought 'Not again'. Watch awkward moment Tommy Fury is quizzed over his engagement to Molly Mae after booze battle and cheat claims "I did say to Molly, because she came to me, what you're best off doing with him, Molly, is walking away, because if he's not going to change himself, he doesn't think that much of you." Revealing how much he was drinking at the time, Tommy said: "I hold my hands up, drink got hold of me - 20 shots a night, 20 beers. "Every day I would have a drink and I would drink to get blackout drunk, and that is what led to me not being the right partner to Molly." He admitted he was drunk when she eventually walked out, taking their daughter with her. 6 6 He said: "I've never even said this before, but when they'd actually left the house, I was actually drunk at that point, so I don't actually remember it that well, which was even more upsetting. "I woke up. I was like shit, and I was listening to probably the silence of the house for like an hour. I was like, f***. And that was the last time they've been here. "I'm not going to lie and say I knew the feeling of what it was like when they walked out - I didn't because I was intoxicated." The couple have since rekindled their relationship, with Molly saying she believes their relationship is "worth saving". Part one of Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury is available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three, with part two scheduled for later in the year.

The accompanying interview with the magazine saw her open up about fiance Callum, who she got engaged to last year, after a whirlwind romance. Discussing their relationship, Dua said: "I love love. It is a beautiful thing. "It's a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible. That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it. "I've spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart, and so I'm letting go of that feeling and just being like, 'Okay, if I'm supposed to get hurt, then this is what's going to happen.' I have to just allow love." The singer added: "I'm happier than ever, so it feels like I'm doing a disservice by not talking about it.' "When you're a public person, anything that's very personal is very vulnerable. It's not like I don't want to share it."

"How it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. "I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children." You can read Dua's full interview in Harper's Bazaar October issue out September 4 6
