THE Traitors spin-off, Uncloaked, has had a huge shake up in the BBC ahead of the new series.
The fourth civilian series of the popular gameshow is set to return on New Year’s Day.
And with a new set of faithful and traitor players comes the show’s spin-off, Uncloaked, which usually airs on BBC2 after the main show, which is on BBC One.
Following the show’s launch episode, Uncloaked will air on BBC2, but in the week following will be a big shake up to TV schedules as the show moves to BBC One for the first time.
On the show, host Ed Gamble is joined by celebrities and players from previous series to analyse and react to the show.
He also gets to reveal to axed players who the Traitors really were.

With Claudia Winkleman returning to the helm of The Traitors, 22 people from around the UK will once again be competing for the chance to win a whopping £120,000.
They will battle it out at the imposing castle in the Scottish Highlands that has hosted the series since its inception.
The new series comes off the back of the success of the inaugural Celebrity Traitors season which saw comedian Alan Carr reign supreme as a duplicitous Traitor.
An average of 11.1 million people tuned in to watch TV host Alan Carr – a traitor from the very first episode – win the Celebrity Traitor series and with it £87,500 for his chosen charity.
In anticipation of the big day, the BBC released a teaser trailer for the new season.
It showed a shadowy figure in the iconic Traitors cloak carrying a lantern while walking outside at night.
A creepy cover of Blondie’s hit Heart of Glass played over the trailer as a graphic appeared towards the end.
“Coming 2026,” it read.
The Scottish castle has seemingly been fully booked, as the US series will also return in January.
It will feature Love Island star Maura Higgins as one of the contestants, and Alan Cumming as the presenter.
