The BBC aired a version of The Traitors 20 years ago with Tony Livesey as the host - but axed it after one series because no one tuned in


Although the Claudia Winkleman-led hit is widely thought to come from the Dutch 'De Verraders' series, a version of the show was on British television in 2004.

The low ratings will come as a blow to ITV who were no doubt hoping to continue the success of the launch night show, which pulled in the most viewers since summer 2022. The series peaked an average 5.5million and a 33.5 per cent share - making in the most watched programme in the last week - as Harry Clark emerged victorious. The 23-year-old British Army Corporal fought off competition from 20 other contestants all vying to win up to £100,000 in the famous castle as part of the intense psychological game.
