I’ve in all probability two large highlights of The Traitors expertise.

How aesthetically stunning the citadel is and Scotland as an entire, completely stunning. If I used to be going to resume my vows, I would in all probability go there [to Ardross castle]!

While you see it on TV and you are like, ‘Oh there’s the billiards room. There’s the kitchen.’ It’s simply wonderful simply to be round there — seeing all the images on the wall and the spherical desk and to have the ability to sit on the spherical desk, as disturbing because it was typically. While you sit again and assume, ‘I am unable to consider I am right here.’

And the second was how stunning Claudia smells. Completely wonderful. She smells radiant. She smells like a summer time breeze.

Seeing Claudia coming into breakfast along with her outfits, I used to be at all times trying ahead to what she was gonna have on. The whole lot to do with Claudia was wonderful however the important thing reality is that she smells wonderful. So be sure that everybody is aware of that.

The Traitors was an expertise of a lifetime however it’s not for the faint hearted.

You go in there and typically it’d get a bit onerous when it comes to whether or not that be individuals turning on you or that feeling of if somebody does not belief you. It is not a really good feeling, particularly whenever you’re making an attempt to be as sincere as attainable.

This journey is one thing that you will by no means remorse, so if anybody’s pondering, ‘Can they do it?’ Simply do it, man, since you by no means know what life will convey.

It is such an incredible expertise and I am so glad that I’ve acquired this to look again on. Even simply trying again at my journal and enthusiastic about how I felt at sure factors, it is completely wonderful. I’ve not acquired one dangerous phrase about it. No regrets.

Even being concerned within the loss of life match, the quantity of individuals asking me: ‘Am I alive? Did I make it?’ It was so loopy!

To return by way of that, right down to the ultimate spherical and I picked the cardboard that I picked. The successful card that was based mostly solely on what my son would choose. My son’s autistic and he is very literal, so if I mentioned choose a quantity between one and 10 — he’d choose one. So on the time I used to be going through what can be primary and I simply thought it is acquired to be that one. The enjoyment I felt! You possibly can in all probability see it how I jumped up.

Leon emerged from the coffin, like Alexander on The Traitors. (Studio Lambert)

However then to get gifted with the enjoyment of being in a coffin. What sort of reward is that? It simply felt like I used to be in there endlessly.

It was robust being away from residence. My missus, she in all probability loved the break from me!

Constructing these relationships within the citadel was nearly like a house from residence since you had somebody to form of open up to about issues, about your emotions, about lacking residence, and in addition in regards to the sport and who you assume is a Traitor. It was positively onerous however it was rewarding once I got here again to see my household’s faces. They had been pleased with me for even simply attaining being on the present. That’s large to me!

Tyler turned an in depth good friend of Leon’s on The Traitors. (Studio Lambert)

I simply wanna say that each single member of the forged can have a spot in my coronary heart endlessly.

We have shared one thing particular and even like watching it, it warms my coronary heart when it comes to clearly what I am watching as a result of so many individuals mentioned to me, ‘This has been one of the best one but’. (I am biased as a result of I am in it.)

However whenever you’re in there and also you get to know these individuals, you realise what they’re there for and what it will imply for them to win otherwise you like the identical music or somebody likes sport.

You develop these relationships and so they imply the world to you whilst you’re in there. Particularly whenever you’re on this sport of suspicion and also you’re making an attempt to construct belief with individuals and also you need individuals to be on the identical aspect and we’re all making an attempt to goal for a similar objective: getting the Traitors.

Leon was near Livi and Leanne. (Studio Lambert)

This is the reason I really feel I rapidly grew shut with Leanne, Livi and Tyler — clearly the notorious clique scenario. It wasn’t a clique!

We had been having amusing collectively and it simply so occurred that we would be on the journey to the missions collectively and stuff like that. I really like all of them and I am so pleased with Leanne clearly to make it as far.

I really feel sorry for Tyler as a result of I actually love Tyler. I really like Livi. Wonderful individuals and doubtless Livi was taken out of our fingers being murdered, however I do really feel sorry for Tyler as a result of clearly we (Leanne and I) had been part of him being banished. I’ve apologised since then!

The Traitors has had 10m Trustworthy viewers. (Studio Lambert)

Actually, The Traitors is one of the best sport on the planet.

I feel being a Traitor appears to be like like it will be extra enjoyable than being a Trustworthy however it appears to be like like it will be disturbing. Being a Trustworthy is disturbing sufficient!

It is in all probability the simplest function to play, trigger I suppose in case you take Minah who was simply being herself, and that is why I feel she’s performed an incredible job. As a Trustworthy, all I attempted to only be was myself. I am usually fairly an outgoing chatty individual. As a trustworthy, you might simply be true to your self.

I am so proud that my son acquired to see me play the function that he wished me to play however I feel as a Traitor, you might be a bit mischievous.
