Having debuted on BBC One in 2022, The Traitors has been a runaway hit, with series 2 drawing 46 million views on BBC iPlayer and an average of over 8 million views per episode.

The Good Housekeeping team are no strangers to the show, having been the subject of many morning chats in the office earlier this year. So much so, that our very own Head of Content for the Good Housekeeping Institute, Alison Lynch, decided to dress like Claudia for a week, after the host's on-screen outfits became a sensation all of their own.
