Brian

Age: 33

Job title: Photographer

Location: Glasgow

Brian expressed that he would love to be a Traitor because it would give him more control over his fate. He said, “The physical team challenges, like last year’s barrel challenge, I’d be really good at. I’m not necessarily a leader or a follower, I’m kind of in-between.”

Charlie

Age: 34

Job title: Mental Health Area Manager

Location: Bristol

Charlie joined The Traitors UK Series 2 because she likes analyzing things and, she thinks that the game was simply made for her.

Charlotte

Age: 32

Job title: Recruitment Manager

Location: Warwickshire

Charlotte will be bringing her wit and strategy to the game board. She said: “I think I’m really good at pretending I don’t know what’s going on, when actually, I have a very good idea. I play the ditzy one and I make self-deprecating jokes constantly, and I don’t get embarrassed easily either – which I think is good.”

Diane

Age: 63

Job title: Retired Teacher

Location: Lancashire

Diane joined The Traitors simply because her students told her she couldn’t. She revealed her game plan and said: “I couldn’t believe that Wilfred managed to stab all his mates in the back, I don’t know if I could do that! But I think the bottom line is you can’t get too close to anyone as you’re going to have to turn on them.”

Evie

Age: 29

Job title: Veterinary Nurse

Location: Inverness

Evie joined The Traitors while running away from the existential crisis that reaching your 30s brings. She mentioned that her favorite contestant Wilfred. She said, “I thought Wilfred was great! I know he got a lot of hate for backstabbing his fellow Traitors but I thought he was just brilliant.”

Harry

Age: 22

Job title: British Army Engineer

Location: Slough

Similar to Evie, Harry wanted an entirely new experience as he was going through a quarter-life crisis, and being on the game show gave him that. He said: “Every day is a learning curve for me to be honest. I think I’ll bring a chilled-out energy to the group, the one who can escape it all and remember that it’s just a game.”

Jasmine

Age: 26

Job title: Sales Executive

Location: London

Bringing her vibrant and bubbly personality to the show would be Jasmine and she expressed that, if given the chance, she would be an amazing Traitor. She said: ” I work in sales so I’m a professional truth embezzler which is kind of my tagline, and why I wanted to go on to The Traitors. I also think that ultimately, I have the personality to do well.”

Jaz

Age: 30

Job title: National Account Manager

Location: Manchester

Jaz plans to play with psychology regardless of what team he gets to be on. He explained to the producers and said, “I think if you go in with a game plan then you won’t last. If I’m a Traitor, I feel as though I’m going to go in with the mindset of a Faithful so people can see my body language, they can see my eye contact, they can see everything about me and go “This guy is a Faithful. So, there’s no point even questioning him.” And that’s it, just take them out one by one.”

Jonny

Age: 31

Job title: Ex-Military

Location: Bedfordshire

Jonny described himself as the quiet observer in the crowd, she will be bringing his Sherlock Holmes skills with him on this season of The Traitors. He said, “I’m an observer. I like to sit back and take it all in. I’m very good at reading situations so I have sort of accumulated a few different approaches of what people did in other series.”

Kyra

Age: 21

Job title: Apprentice Economist

Location: Kent

The athletic 21-year-old is joining the game show to give her family a really special gift. She said, “The main motivation behind it is that my sister is getting married soon, we come from a lower-class background, and I’d love to win something to help towards her wedding – and hopefully honeymoon.” 

Meg

Age: 22

Job title: Illustrator

Location: Herefordshire

Meg watched the last season and thought that she could easily win it. She joined The Traitors fully prepared for anything that gets thrown her way. She said, “I feel like nothing can prepare you for what they’re going to throw at you, to be honest. They might be like ‘Meg, you’ve got to jump out of a plane now.’ And I’d say ‘Oh my God, ok! Bring it.'”

Miles

Age: 36

Job title: Veterinary Nurse

Location: Birmingham

Miles will be following in the footsteps of last year’s contestant, Amanda because he admired her game plan. He said, “Just because she was genuine, she was very genuine about what she was doing but did everything she needed to do. That’s exactly what my motto would be if I was in her position.” 

Mollie

Age: 21

Job title: Disability Model

Location: Bristol

During her interview with the producers, Mollie expressed that she would bring more excitement to the show. She said, “I’m super excitable anyway and looking forward to the missions and stuff. I love an adventure, so I feel like I can really throw myself into those.”

Paul

Age: 36

Job title: Business Manager

Location: Manchester

This business manager also does comedy on the side and he will bring that along with him on the show. He said, “I think humor is a big one for me. I love comedy, if I could be a comedian that would be my dream job.” 

Ross

Age: 28

Job title: Video Director

Location: Lancashire

The video director had spent a lifetime behind the camera and wanted to feel what being in the spotlight was like. He thinks he would be good at this game because he is good at the Among Us. He said, “I’m also really looking forward to having a break from social media, my phone, work, and the rest of it. It’s a good excuse to tell my business partner that I just can’t work for three weeks, it’s a nice excuse to do that.”

Sonja

Age: 66

Job title: Volunteer Business Mentor

Location: Lancashire

Sonja also joined The Traitors to challenge herself with a new experience at the age of 66.

The sweet lady is a knitting enthusiast and viewers can expect to see her knit on-screen. She said, “My game plan is to knit my way to the finals. I’m an avid knitter. What I hope to do genuinely is knit while I’m thinking. Also, you can knit recycled fishing nets and recycled plastic bottles, so it’s great for the environment. I actually want to teach some of the other tortured souls how to do a bit of knitting while we’re there too.”

Tracey

Age: 58

Job title: Sonographer and Clairvoyant

Location: Inverness

Tracey, being a clairvoyant, attracted plenty of fan attention. She described herself as unique and individualistic. She said, “I think I’ll be quite eccentric, some of my views and the things that I’ve done in life are quite eccentric. I’m very spiritual as well as working for the health service. So, I’m a bit of a weird combination.”

Zack

Age: 27

Job title: Parliamentary Affairs Advisor

Location: London

Lastly, we have Zack, who wishes he wouldn’t be assigned the traitor role because he simply can’t keep a secret. He said, “If I am a Faithful I’ll bring my perception, I’ll bring an understanding of what people are thinking and lies they might be weaving without them really realizing it because of my career.”
