The Traitors US landed on BBC iPlayer today - and host Alan Cumming shared some behind-the-scenes clips from the stateside spin-off series to celebrate it airing in the UK.
The X-Men actor posted a series of photos to Instagram, enjoying the remote scenery of Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, where the show is filmed. Cumming, 57, was photographed sitting on an outdoor chair draped in blue tartan, as he looked out of binoculars while someone held an umbrella over his head.
Cumming wrote: "The Traitors drops today in the US and the UK and so here are some moments from behind the scenes. Becoming a psychological reality competition show host was not on my radar but I am so glad I was asked to do this."
He added: "Thanks to my faithful assistant @judithglue and everyone at @studiolambert and @peacocktv for making it the best time!"
The UK series, which aired last year and was hosted by Claudia Winkleman, became an overnight sensation, with Scot Meryl Williams taking home the jackpot alongside Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski. The Traitors proved a huge hit for BBC and has been streamed more than 28 million times.
Just like the UK series of the same name, the cast will take part in challenges allowing them to reach a prize pot worth up to $250,000 (£205,000), as well as trying to determine who is or is not a Faithful contestant.
The cast features a host of stars including Below Deck icon Kate Chastain, Real Housewives’ Brandi Glanville, Survivor stars Cirie Fields and Stephenie LaGrossa, and Big Brother’s Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly. Ordinary people from across the United States will also be thrown into the mix.
