Traitors boss halts filming to allow for Highland mum's funeral
The family of the late woman have thanked The Traitors bosses for halting production.
Makers of The Traitors have agreed to halt filming to allow a grieving family to hold a funeral service at a Highland church.
The church is near Ardross Castle where the US version of the show – hosted by Alan Cumming – is currently being shot.
The dead woman's son took to social media after being told the earliest they could have access to Ardross Ark – a regular feature in the BBC show – would be July 1 which is 'far too long to wait to say our final farewell to Mam'.
He added: 'My mother has lived in Ardross for 72 years. For my mother to be denied the right to have her final farewell to Ardross in her local church is nothing less than a disgrace.'
But now the volunteer-run church has agreed a compromise after the unnamed local man contacted the Traitors production boss.
He said: 'I would like to thank them for their understanding and allowing us to use the church.'
The trustees of the church said: 'The situation has now been resolved. The funeral service will take place on June 27.'
