First and foremost, all of my friends and family said, \u2018You need to watch this show, you need to go on this show.\u2019 That was before I had seen it, and I still don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a compliment or not! When I watched it, it was about people that are really good at lying, what were they saying?!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, there was that, but then I watched it and just fell in love with it straight away, as it\u2019s properly up my street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the activity side of things, especially the mission where they were walking across the drawbridge blindfolded, I really loved that. Then the round table with people\u2019s emotions running high, I thought this is definitely something I could get involved in and, you know what, I might be able to succeed in.\u201d<\/p> <p><strong>If you are a Traitor, how do you think you\u2019ll feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, if Claudia touches my shoulder, I\u2019m never washing that top again. I hope that happens, because the more I think about what the show is, it is about the real Traitors, right? To participate in the show fully is to be a Traitor, I think.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great to be a Faithful and find the Traitors, but I want to be the one that people are trying to find. I would just try to be calm, normal and just like me. If it happens, I\u2019d be buzzing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say you\u2019ve got a good poker face?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. People think that with a poker face you always have to be stern, be stoic and not show emotion \u2013 I disagree with that. I think, if you can show happiness when you\u2019re really sad or sadness when you\u2019re really happy, those are better qualities.<\/p>\n<p>Reading people is another strength that I think I will bring when I go in, because I think I can see it in people\u2019s face when something has changed. I fancy myself here, a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m in the corporate world, and that type of environment happens quite often; where you\u2019re sat in a room and you\u2019re being grilled and you\u2019re defending yourself. I\u2019ve been in that situation quite a few times before. So, I think this is perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Traitors airs on BBC One on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 9pm.
