This departure from the usual green worn by traitors has viewers speculating about its significance. In an interview, Winkleman describes the series as 'truly extraordinary' with moments that left her gasping. The twist will be unveiled on New Year's Day, adding to the anticipation. The red cloak's meaning and wearer remain a mystery, with Winkleman hinting at a 'twisty' new series. She praises the producers' creativity, saying they have 'the greatest minds on earth.' The show's success is evident, with the celebrity spin-off attracting over 15 million viewers.

Winkleman also discusses the show's format, emphasizing the contrast between celebrity and civilian behavior. She highlights the 'hardcore' confrontations and 'juicy' roundtables, creating a tense and engaging atmosphere.

This series introduces a new twist, with contestants reaching Ardross Castle without a surprise mission, adding to the intrigue. The host's love for the Scottish Highlands and her assistant owl, Sage, provide a charming contrast to the game's intensity. The Traitors is set to captivate audiences with its innovative twists and engaging format.
