Well, The Celebrity Traitors is off to a cracking start. The second series of the BBC spinoff immediately reeled viewers in once again, with the legendary Richard E. Grant accidentally joking that he was a Traitor when he was, in fact, a Traitor. It took three episodes to see what the outcome of that revelation / joke would be, but it came in the third installment as Richard was indeed the first to be banished from the Castle - making Traitors history in the process.

That episode also featured some surprises, as The Traitors recruited Hannah, the Faithfuls banished one of their own in Myha'la, and another murder in the Castle is looming. But who will the Traitors kill next and what else can we expect from the fourth episode of the series? Here's when you can expect it to find all of that out - and so much more!

The Celebrity Traitors season 2 episode 4 start time (and how long the episode is)

The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One tonight, October 9, at 8:00 p.m. BST, premiering immediately after The Chronicles of Foyle. It will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer simultaneously, meaning you can choose between the linear channel or the streaming service (although BBC One will likely be a few seconds ahead).

How long is The Celebrity Traitors on for? The episode will run for an 1 hour and 5 minutes (65 minutes), matching the length of the previous episodes of the season thus far (with the exception of the series premiere, which was 10 minutes longer). A new episode of companion series The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, in which host Ed Gamble will talk to the murdered and / or banished players.

What to expect from the next episode of The Celebrity Traitors

The third episode of The Celebrity Traitors was definitely the most important yet - and that's really saying considering after a tense opening for the season. We lost our first Traitor in a shock moment that made history for the series. After that, we had another unexpected banishment - which was a blow to the players as they ousted one of their own: A Faithful. And now, they must prepare themselves once more as the second murder of the series looms.

So the big question now is: Who will be murdered in The Celebrity Traitors season 2 episode 4? We have three options: James Blunt, Sebastian Croft (Bash), and Bella Ramsey. It's a difficult one because all three are serious contenders when it comes to figuring out who The Traitors are.

James Blunt has made his determination to figure out who a Traitor is his mission. Although he was originally wrong about Hannah, she has since been recruited by the Traitors, so he's technically right now. If he is still planning on doubling down on those suspicions, he becomes a threat to the trio in the Turret. And the same can be said about Bella, who has been very observant when it comes to deducing who the Traitors are. Although they did have their confidence rocked by the Myha'la banishment, the Traitors could still view them as a threat down the line.

Bash is an interesting one because he's been more of a silent watcher since the series began. Although he hasn't had as much screen time, he's been quietly observing the dynamics and has been right about at least one of the Traitors at one point in time. His conversation with Maya made her aware of how formidable a Faithful he is. Could the Traitors decide to take him out before he becomes a formidable threat to them in the final stages of the competition.

It's all still up for grabs in The Celebrity Traitors, but with Richard and Myha'la - the two that had drawn the most interest from the Faithfuls - both off the table, it's hard to tell who the Traitors think might be the biggest challenger at this point in time. It's also hard to tell who might get the most heat going forward since Ross diffused a potential situation for him, Hannah seemingly managed to successfully deflect suspicion elsewhere, and Jerry has become a new target for the Faithfuls.

The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One on Thursdays and Fridays.
