The subterfuges and betrayals of another ratings-topping series of BBC's The Traitors are over. But which programme will now take its place in the hearts of the nation?

The closest match will surely be The Traitors Ireland, which aired on BBC One early yesterday morning, after being shown on RTÉ One in Ireland last summer.

The series was filmed at Slane Castle, an 18th-century pile in County Meath, where the usual 24 contestants competed for a €50,000 (£43,000) prize pot overseen by the Derry Girls actor Siobhán McSweeney. Or we could simply switch to watching the American celebrity version, which is broadcast on the US streaming service Peacock.
