Claudia Winkleman, Claudia Winkleman, and an all-new lineup of Traitors and Faithfuls are expected to appear on New Year’s Day.

The 22-person group’s unique makeup, according to insiders, will make the series the most competitive ever to begin tonight. According to one executive, “given some of the people chosen, it might make the job of being a traitor much harder. It’s still pretty much all they can play for because these traits could also make them the ideal traitor. ”

Amanda, a former police officer, acknowledges that having a unique edge in the workforce might be advantageous. The 57-year-old from Brighton claims to have learned a lot about being deceptive, devious, and cunning. She continues, “I was a detective, and I have spoken with both criminals and victims frequently. To uncover the truth and break the silence, you must piece together the pieces.

To avoid being identified, you must be good at lying, have a good poker face, and be a master deflection master. On the other hand, I’m a good person, and I joined the police to assist people. Even when a big storm is brewing nearby, you must remain calm and composed. Whichever role I get to play, I would incorporate all of these abilities. ”

Before I retired, Amanda claims to be the “Detective Chief Inspector.” She continued, “I had to do a lot of things very quickly, be decisive, and precise, but I’m now very relaxed. Ellie, a psychologist, claims she also has the necessary abilities to win on the BBC show. She adds, “I’m hoping I can bring that psychological perspective on the show because I think I might be the first psychologist.” I’m going to be looking at what other contestants are up to and figuring out why they behave in particular ways. ”

When asked what she plans to contribute to the game, she replies, “Hopefully I can use all of my psychological strategies to play the game as well as possible, whether I’m a Traitor or a Faithful, whether that means developing relationships with people, deceiving others, and concealing how I really feel.” ”

Harriet Tyce, a writer of crime books like Blood Orange and The Lies You Told, has also practiced law. She also thinks she has a leg up on the Traitor and Faithful contest.

The 52-year-old admits, “I’ve watched the show and I love it. It’s one of the few TV shows I believe I have a skill set that could be useful for.” Formerly a criminal barrister, I write about crime. On the page, I spend my life creating horrible ways for people to die and commit murder. The idea that I might actually plot to murder people or find a killer is the closest I could get to that realization in real life, you know, without actually seeing blood pour. What’s not to like, to be honest? ”

The mother-of-two thinks that having children and having a legal background will help her catch any lies. She says, “I’ve had experience with clients who I’ve been absolutely certain are telling me a little less than the truth because I’ve had kids and worked in criminal justice.” The thing about this game is that if you start out believing someone, you won’t be sucked in by someone who doesn’t seem like a good person. ”
