Pick of the Day
The Traitors Ireland, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
I remember going to Slane for the then hush-hush press day for The Traitors Ireland back in March and saying that the Irish version of the show would be brilliant.
I was wrong – it's much, much better than that.
This promises to be just another run-of-the-mill day at Slane Castle – that is, a mad one - as accusations run rife, the shield divides the group, and an ancient curse wreaks havoc.
Is this the best and most Irish TV show ever?
Afterwards at 10.40pm, Kevin McGahern, along with celebrity guests and players from the show, assess the latest betrayals, mind games and manipulations in The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked.
If you fancy a refresher before tonight’s fun and games, last night’s The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked is on RTÉ2 at 9pm.
