'Tis the season – and no, we’re not talking about Christmas. It’s time for The Traitors season three, which is currently going strong. If you've watched before, you'll know that means more deception, more angsty conversations and oh so much more backstabbing.

In a remote Scottish castle, 22 contestants will compete to win a £120,000 prize by catching and eliminating the secret ‘Traitors’ in their group. If they manage to do it by the final round, they'll each get a share of the prize. If they don't, then any remaining Traitors walk off with it all instead.

Naturally, this kick-started a global phenomenon as the contestants then proceeded to get their Machiavelli on – and as the drama hits its stride once more (fake Welsh accents and warring sisters, anybody?) we’ve rounded up some of the best moments from the truly bonkers seasons one and two, where it all began. Enjoy.

Host and fashionista Claudia Winkleman (seriously, who else is capable of pulling off a cape with such flair?) kicked things off with a bang at the start of season one, by asking the contestants to all stand in a line. The aim: to rank themselves based on who was most and least likely to win.

Amos and Kieran took their place at the end of the line – only to be brutally booted off the show by Claudia. They duly packed their bags and left (for the time being, anyway) leaving the contestants (and the nation) reeling. It came as a real shock when Will and Amanda turned on fellow Traitor Alyssa early in the show and sent her packing. Clearly fearing being knocked out during the elimination round (where contestants vote for who they think should leave, Weakest Link-style) Wilf wrote Alyssa’s name on his board.
