The celebrities haven’t done many interviews ahead of the series launch, but here are what a few of them said in their Q&As on the BBC website.
Discussing her reasons for taking part, presenter Claire Balding said: “I really find it fascinating, the way group thinking can be influenced. I don’t know whether I can resist that or whether I can influence that and I’m kind of interested in it from a psychological perspective.”
Asked if she’d be good at finding traitors, comedian Lucy Beaumont joked: “When I was a teenager, I was good at spotting 15-year-old boys that were lying but things have changed since then. I hope the skills might return in this game.”
Singer Cat Burns commented she has “always been really intrigued to see if I would, one, be able to work out who the Traitors are, and two, if I was a Traitor, if I would be able to keep up the mystery of it”.
Actor Mark Bonnar said he was hoping to be a faithful. “I think that the added pressure of being a Traitor, just keeping that facade up the whole time, would be incredibly exhausting and quite stressful,” he said.
Singer Charlotte Church, meanwhile, said she didn’t have a game plan. “I’m going to read the field, moment by moment and be present. If you’re able to stay present and be really open to your sensory portals – your ears, your eyes, even your spidey senses, then I think that you’re able to be much more present.”
