Cloaks at the ready - The Traitors is back!
After a seemingly-interminable wait, Claudia Winkleman has returned to her Scottish castle to welcome a new group of 22 strangers to play the ultimate game of deception. Who will become The Traitors and who are The Faithfuls?

Why did you apply for the show?
"I watched the first series and I just loved how different it was. It's exciting and there's missions too. Although there's teamwork involved, there's also the sneakiness behind it all. I don't feel like I've ever watched something as unique as this show. It had you gripped the whole time, so I just loved it. I thought it was such a great idea."
What is your game plan?
"I want to make as many friends as possible. The more friends you have in there, the better. As I also work as a Healthcare Assistant, you do get close to people because you're there for them and looking after them, but you have to be careful not to get too emotionally attached. I'm quite good at building that relationship but also separating myself in a way which I feel like will be really good in the game. You have to turn on people at some points, and that person could be your friend in there."
How would you feel to be chosen as a Traitor?
"I think it's going to change things for me as I have thought of myself as more of a Faithful. I think you've just got to get into the game, get into the mindset that you're still a Faithful until the evenings and when you meet up at night. I think your mindset, whether you get tapped on the shoulder or not, is to be a Faithful in the daytime. You've got to convince yourself that that is who you are, so that you can then convince other people."
What would you spend the prize money on?
"I'd love to go travelling in the future, so I'd definitely feel more relaxed about that if I won because at my age, you kind of have to choose between getting your own place, moving out, travelling but then having nothing to come back to. It would be so nice to have that and go and live my dream of travelling and come back and still be secure enough to put a deposit down on a house, that would be amazing."
The Traitors series two begins Wednesday, January 3 at 9pm on BBC One.
