The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the latest series of The Traitors UK.

After four gripping weeks of double-crossings, fake accents, endlessly quotable faux pas moments and no end of absolute serves from Claudia Winkleman, The Traitors is, regrettably, over for another year.

This year’s finale was the first in which no Traitors made it to the last showdown round the firepit – but that didn’t stop the group from turning on one another, with four Faithfuls being whittled down to two as paranoia continued to set in for the finalists.

Despite the treacherous team falling at the last hurdle, the latest season gave us a team of Traitors of varying levels of success, from the jaw-dropping ruthlessness of Charlotte to the iconic stylings of Linda.

This led us to thinking about who the best ever Traitors from the UK series have been – so here’s our definitive ranking of the 15 contestants who’ve paid a visit to the turret in the last three seasons…

Freddie (season 3)

Freddie's stint as a traitor was short-lived, to say the least

Oh, Freddie. You were not cut out for the life of a Traitor and we all knew it.

Freddie, of course, was recruited as a sacrificial lamb for Charlotte in one of her final acts as a Traitor, before royally stitching him up and leading to his banishment.

Even so, his inability to think on his feet and penchant for only talking his way into a bigger mess has put him at the bottom of our ranking, even if he did make for some brilliant moments this past series.

Ross (season 2)

Ross may not have lasted long as a traitor, but we commend him for managing to keep a secret from the rest of the cast

Like Freddie, Ross was chosen as a last-minute appointment because he was already under suspicion from the group, and lasted just one day as a Traitor before the group wound up showing him the door.

He was spared from the bottom of our list because he, at least, managed to keep one secret during his time in the show – the fact his mum is the legend, icon and diva that is Diane Carson.

Ash (season 2)

Ash was the first of last year's Traitors to be caught out

The first of the 2024 Traitors to be caught, Ash lasted five days of killing before the heat on her became too much for the group to ignore, and she was shown the door.

Awkwardly, a day earlier both of her Traitor cohorts had turned on her at the round table, leading to a rather uncomfortable confrontation in the turret later that night.

Armani (season 3)

Armani was the first of this year's........
