James Handy Cause of Death: What we know about the fatal stabbing of the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ actor

Paul Henry is out and Madeleine Sami is in as the new host of murder-mystery reality series The Traitors NZ – and she couldn’t be more excited!

“I’ve watched many of the international and local seasons of The Traitors, and find myself hooked every single time,” says the star, 46.

“It’s such an honour to be part of this new season. I love that it’s a game of strategy and deception. I love that people go in with a desire to win, then betray each other. I love that it starts as a fun game, then everyone gets emotionally invested and that’s when things escalate.”

Asked if she’d rather be a Faithful or a Traitor, Madeleine replies, “I’m a moderately successful – and occasionally award-winning – actress. And I wouldn’t want to use my skills for evil. In saying that, who wouldn’t want to be a Traitor?!”

The Traitors NZ returns 31 May on Three and ThreeNow.

Read on to learn more about the 21 Kiwi contestants set to engage in treachery and deceit in South Canterbury’s Castle Claremont in order to win an epic cash prize…
