LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 12: Gary Lineker leaves his home with his dog on March 12, 2023 in London, England. Match of the Day anchor Gary Lineker was asked by the BBC to step back from presenting their flagship football highlights program, Match of the Day this weekend, until they agree on a social media policy. Lineker, a former England international football player and previous winner of the prestigious Golden Boot award, tweeted his own views on the government's Stop Small Boats policy provoking a row over the impartiality of freelance BBC TV presenters. Several pundit colleagues of Lineker's have also refused to appear on the show in solidarity. This week's show aired as a highlights package only with no punditry and many other BBC sports radio and TV shows were cancelled. (Photo by Hollie Adams/Getty Images)

The Traitors,Claudia Winkleman,The Traitors is a new reality competition series built on strategy and suspicion, filmed in the Scottish Highlands. A team of players will compete in a series of missions. The more missions they win, the bigger the prize pot. However, amongst the players lie the ‘Traitors’. The Traitors will meet in secret and decide who to eliminate of their fellow players known as the ‘Faithfuls’. The aim of the Traitors is to stay undetected until the end of the game. Whilst trying to avoid being eliminated, the Faithfuls must figure out who is a Traitor and vote them out so they can share the money between the remaining Faithfuls. However, if any Traitors make it to the end, they will steal the prize money for themselves. Throughout the season, there will be twists, turns and surprises for the players. A game of trust and treachery… do you have what it takes to play? The Traitors is produced for the BBC by Studio Lambert Associates.,Studio Lambert Associates,Mark Mainz
