Diane is hoping to bring humour and motivation to the game, noting that motivating and energising people are some of her best qualities.<\/p>\n<p>But does Diane think she has what it takes to get to the final or even be a Traitor? Read on for everything you need to know about Diane.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Diane?<\/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>63<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Retired teacher<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Lancashire<\/p>\n<p>Diane applied for The Traitors after watching just an episode and a half with her children. Of course, she has watched the full series and \u201cloved it\u201d and, luckily, she wants to take a stab at things even more.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the show, Diane does not have a game plan. She explained that after watching season 1, she noted that the players used anything they could find against each other, using Maddy mentioning she was an actress as an example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that was a rubbish reason to get rid of her because it was so obvious that she was a Faithful,\u201d she said.<\/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 think if you take it on, you must be prepared to go the whole way, I\u2019d like to think I could do it. Although there were people last series, like Andrea, that I would have struggled to get rid of. I totally admired her, she\u2019d lost her partner, she was having a go and doing her best. I think I\u2019d really struggle if it was someone I admired like that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou have to be very careful about who you get friendly with. I might find it hard, but I\u2019d still like to say I\u2019d be able to go the whole way. You\u2019re put into this and you\u2019ve nothing else in your life other than this game for potentially three weeks, it\u2019ll be so easy to let it take over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>If you\u2019re a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cJust to be me. As a teacher at a PRU I\u2019ve had to use tactics to get control of a classroom. I\u2019d use humour a lot, and you had to know when to pick your battles. I know from last series that Wilfred was saying he was going to bring people on side and try and cause ripples, but I won\u2019t do anything like that.\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?
