If you\u2019re struggling to pass the time in between the last season of The Traitors<\/a> and the hotly anticipated Celebrity version later this year<\/a>, the BBC<\/a> has something to tide you over.<\/p>\n

The latest season of the show saw Leanne Quigley<\/a> and Jake Brown<\/a> take home the coveted cash prize, after a high-stakes finale that was filled to the brim with banishments.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Beeb has released the star-studded cast list <\/a>for the upcoming Celebrity Traitors<\/a>, which includes Stephen Fry<\/a>, Charlotte Church<\/a> and Tom Daley<\/a> among the recruits.<\/p>\n

That show will arrive on screens this autumn, but if that feels too far away then the spin-off series The Traitors NZ<\/a> has just dropped on iPlayer, with all 12 episodes now available to stream while the show airs on BBC Three<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second season of the show sees 22 normie New Zealanders descend on Claremont Manor, which sits at the foot of Mount Horrible \u2013 real name \u2013 in Timaru.<\/p>\n

The group of Kiwis battle it out at the roundtable in the hopes of winning up to $100,000 (equivalent to over \u00a344,000).<\/p>\n
