The Traitors is back - and once again 22 strangers have been locked in a spooky castle, split into Traitors and Faithfuls, then encouraged to lie their way to a £120,000 top prize.

The fourth series of the BBC hit show started on New Year’s Day, and we now have just two episodes of duplicitous fun left.

The third episode saw the Faithfuls claim their first Traitor in the form of Barrister Hugo.

Then Fiona was revealed as the ‘secret Traitor’ before a spectacular falling out with fellow-Traitor Rachel saw her successfully banished by the Faithfuls.

Last week it was time for a Faithful to self-destruct, with Harriet’s clumsy and aggressive accusal of Rachel turning the spotlight onto herself and inevitable banishment.

And then Traitors Rachel and Stephen chose to murder than recruit, rejecting Matthew’s request to move to the dark side and ensuring he was banished at the next round table.

Yesterday’s penultimate episode ended on a real cliffhanger, with Traitor Rachel and Faithful James tying at the banishment vote at the Round Table - with their fate to be decided by the Chests of Chance.

Here’s everything you need to know before the last episode, with just six players remaining.

How often are episodes of The Traitors aired?

Episodes are broadcast on BBC One three times a week, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm.

Can I binge watch The Traitors?

Every episode of season one, two and three of The Traitors is available to binge watch on the BBC iPlayer right now - as are the American, Australian and New Zealand versions of the show (Season Two of the Australian Traitors is especially good).

For season four though, you'll have to be a little more patient. The episodes only arrive on the iPlayer after they are broadcast on BBC One - so if you want to binge you'll have to wait until the end and try to avoid spoilers (including the rest of this article.)

When is the last episode of The Traitors?

The final episode is on Friday, January 23, at 8.30pm - half an hour later than usual - and will last 75 minutes in an extra-long episode.

Who is left in the Traitors Castle?

Here’s who is still left standing - and whether they are Faithfuls or Traitors:

• Faraaz (Faithful)
• Jack (Faithful)
• Jade (Faithful)
• James (Faithful)
• Rachel (Traitor)
• Stephen (Traitor)

• Jack: 2/1
