The Traitors season three start date has been revealed, but fans hoping for another installment by the end of the year will be left disappointed.

The show garnered huge popularity with its first series in December 2022, with its fanbase growing even more when it returned in January.

But despite hopes of a third season debuting by the end of the year, sources have said it will air in January 2025.

A source told The Sun on Tuesday that talk of The Traitors had gone quiet, which was a 'sure sign' the production team were meticulously guarding information amid filming the show.

But they said that with the third season wrapped, talks behind the scenes had turned to air date.

The source said: 'Things have all gone a tad quiet on The Traitors front recently and that's a sure sign that the Beeb and production company Studio Lambert have been clamping down on any information getting out while they’ve been making the show.

'Now it's in the bag, talk has inevitably turned to when we devotees can see the finished product.

'From now on they will stick to the pattern of filming every spring with the completed series dropping at the start of the following year.'

The reveal comes after series two star Charlotteshocked fans by claiming Conor Maynard is the father of her unborn baby and had been trying to 'silence' her.

The reality star explained the pair had met at the wrap party for The Traitors, as Conor's sister Anna is the girlfriend of the show's winner Harry Clark.

The party was thrown in honour of the British Army Lance Corporal and 'Traitor', 23, after he shocked the nation when he snatched the £95,150 prize fund from the Faithfuls in a nail-biting finale.

Charlotte has now claimed that it was Harry who had 'pressured' her into attending the show wrap party in January because Conor had learnt she was newly-single and wanted to meet her.

In an Instagram video, she revealed that she had fallen pregnant with her 'miracle' daughter, after enduring several failed IVF rounds with her estranged wife Laura, and that Conor was the dad.

She said: 'I've really toyed with whether this is the right thing to do or not... I've sort of hidden a lot of things in the protection of somebody else through this process.

'I decided that the best thing is to always be open and honest. Essentially I have not named the father in protection of him.'

Charlotte claimed she was warned by a PR that she could be hated if she revealed the news but said the baby means more to her and said keeping a secret had a detrimental impact on her mental health.

She said: 'I'm prepared to do this alone, but I'm not prepared to have my daughter have to grow up and not be able to say who her father is, or should I say, birth father, or hide it from her.

'She deserves to know where she comes from. I'm not a secret, she's not a dirty secret. I won't be silenced.'

'I am standing up for myself regardless of if it comes back to me. I just can't do this be quiet, and shut up anymore.

'I feel like I just don't matter, and I just don't want that for my daughter so even though this makes me feel sick to do because everyone's told me not to, in terms of his PR and stuff.'

She concluded: 'My friends and family are behind me. The cast are behind me that I need to put Penelope first.

'When I say the cast, I mean the majority of the cast. But I'm speaking out, I won't be silenced anymore and now you all know.'
