Calling all future Lindas, Minahs and Alexanders (our DMs are open if you're a future Alexander, btw), if you've been contemplating applying for series 4 of The Traitors (and why wouldn't you after the absolute slay that series 3 was), it's time to make your decision.
Like, now.
Seriously, why are you still here?
The application deadline for series 4 is fast approaching and you're wasting time. YOU could be our next obsession, but you must act fast because Studio Lambert are closing applications on Sunday 9 February 2025 and the online form is somewhat hefty.
If this news to you, don't panic; we've not only collated all the relevant info to get you applying ASAP (because every human who has watched The Traitors is lying if they say they haven't envisioned themselves sitting around the Round Table) but we dropped series two legend Diane Carson a message and she's shared her advice for anyone who actually gets that all important call from the BBC.
Applications to apply for season four of The Traitors actually opened in August 2024, with new members of the public encouraged to apply and play the ultimate ‘game of trust and treachery’.
Anyone keen to find out if they’d make a good Faithful (or Traitor) can apply via the BBC website.
You must be over 18 and have the legal right to reside in the UK, to apply, and you have until 9 February 2024 to get your form in – although the website says that applications could end early, so we’d recommend sooner rather than later.
On the application form for the upcoming series, it says that season four is ‘currently anticipating’ filming this spring/summer for four weeks.
Onto our Diane...
You know Diane; that series 2 icon with the sharp bob and an even sharper eye for catching Traitors (until a glass of fizzy rosè finished her off and she was 'buried alive' on TV) has fast become a national treasure.
The fizzy rosè queen exclusively told heatworld (to tell you), 'Have this phrase on repeat: It is only a game! Your game strategy - note EVERYTHING that is said or done. Lastly, enjoy and have fun!'
We definitely overuse the word icon at heatworld, but yeah, ICON.
We'll see some of you on our telly screens in 2026.
FFS, why are you still here?
WATCH: would the heat team be Faithfuls or Traitors?
Ben Pulsford is a digital writer for Bauer Media, writing for both Closer online and heatworld. When he's not getting paid to gossip about Big Brother, Love Island, and The Real Housewives of Cheshire, he's storming the London LGBTQ+ scene as drag queen, Beary Poppins. Both Ben and Beary are awaiting an invite to join The Real Housewives of Cheshire for series 18. The budget's not there, but the drama is 💅.
