The scale this year is beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One contestant taking part in these epic missions is 45-year-old Andrew, who believes he would be good as a Faithful or a Traitor. As the episodes begin to air, read on for everything you need to know about The Traitors season 2 contestant Andrew.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Andrew?<\/strong><\/h2> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6344167447112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Age:\u00a0<\/strong>45<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Insurance broker<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Talbot Green<\/p>\n<p>Andrew loved everything about The Traitors season 1, including its format, gameplay and ability to immerse the audience in the game \u2013 and so he decided to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Admitting that he hasn\u2019t taken any risks or challenges in his life, Andrew chose to take part in The Traitors in order to step out of his comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>While on the show, Andrew hopes to inspire those who have had a traumatic experience or suffered with their mental health and \u201cto tell them that if you keep fighting and believing, you will get to your dreams\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>If you are a Traitor, how far are you prepared to go to win the game?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ll do whatever it takes, within reason. I don\u2019t mind throwing people under the bus; it\u2019s me or them, at the end of the day. I\u2019ll just think of my family, my son \u2013 I want to make them proud and I want a better life for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m a nice person deep down, and when my family are watching on the TV, they will know the real me. They know me, they know my morals and that I\u2019m a nice person. On The Traitors<em>, <\/em>you\u2019re just playing a game, a game that you have to get totally immersed in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>If <\/strong><strong>you\u2019re a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ll just get close. I\u2019m very good at getting people to open up to me. For many, many years I\u2019ve had lots of people tell me things, secrets that they haven\u2019t told their family, friends or parents. People say that I make them feel comfortable, so they open up to me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn every job I\u2019ve ever had, in the bank, in the insurance world, I\u2019m like the agony aunt. I always give everybody exactly the same respect, I treat everybody exactly the same way, whether they\u2019ve got a million pounds or nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I\u2019ll get close to people and I think I\u2019ll form relationships, get talking to people, ask lots of probing, open questions. I\u2019ll be very good at watching and reading people, just looking for little mistakes that they might make and finding out who the Traitors are.\u201d<\/p> <p><strong>The Traitors season 2 starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday 3rd January 2024. <\/strong><strong>The Traitors season 1 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something else to watch?
