BBC bosses 'hire top ITV star to host Traitors-style quiz show' after finale pulled in 7.4m viewers


The BBC has reportedly hired Amanda Holden to host a new Traitors-style quiz show after the finale of the popular reality series pulled in a whopping 7.4 million viewers.

The episode was watched live by an average audience of 7.4million people as project manager Jake Brown and Leanne Quigley triumphed as faithfuls, taking home a prize pot of £94,600. The show, filmed at Ardross Castle near Inverness, involves 'faithfuls' attempting to banish 'traitors' - fellow contestants who are scheming to eliminate the others without getting caught in order to take home as much as £120,000. But in a change from the format of the first two series' of the show, players no longer reveal whether they were faithfuls or traitors during the finale - adding extra tension throughout the nail-biting episode.
