BBC series The Traitors has boosted the profile of a number of contestants featured on its three series since the show launched in 2022 and sky-rocketed in popularity
A favourite from the popular BBC gameshow The Traitors has landed a huge new radio show in an amazing career turn.
The Traitor’s star Jaz Singh, who gained huge popularity with fans of the challenge programme after appearing in the second series, is set to host a brand new radio show on BBC Asian Network.
Former Faithful Jaz’s new show is set to air every Monday to Thursday from 3pm to 6pm. It’s a huge step for the TV turned radio star as the gig is his first full-time role as a radio presenter. It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement.

Jaz’s new radio show will see him feature a mix of music and entertainment and aims to reflect the interests and experiences of British Asian communities.
Speaking about the exciting new career turn, Jaz said: “As a finalist on BBC The Traitors to now hosting my own live radio show with BBC Asian Network, I’m beyond grateful to the people that are putting their trust and time into me because this is a dream!! Expect the biggest tunes, good vibes and be prepared to see a side of me you’ve never witnessed before!”
The new show, which is clearly an exciting opportunity for Jaz, will launch in less than a month’s time on Monday September 1.
Ahmed Hussain, Head of Asian Network, said: “We’re entering an exciting new chapter at Asian Network. Jaz Singh’s new afternoon show is a key part of our commitment to celebrating British Asian voices and music culture. His energy and charisma are infectious, and I’m confident he’ll quickly become a familiar and much-loved presence in our listeners’ daily routines.”
Jaz has made appearances on BBC Asian Network since leaving the Scottish castle, as he’s hosted Asian Network Motivation as a rotational presenter as well as covering shows across the network. Meanwhile, he’s also featured on BBC Radio 4, hosting a documentary for the radio channel.
Jaz was a fan-favourite as he appeared on the second series of the show and he made it all the way to the final roundtable, where he was sadly banished. Jaz was a clever detective for the Faithfuls and was even nicknamed Jazatha Christie during his time in the castle. He was one of the only Faithfuls in the castle who had suspicions about Harry Clark, but he sadly wasn’t able to convince the others and Harry got away with the prize money.
Fans of the hit BBC show won’t have to wait much longer for another taste of Traitors action as a celebrity version of the show has been filmed and is set for release in the autumn.
The star-studded line-up includes Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Clare Balding, Alan Carr, Bob Mortimer, Lucy Beaumont, Mark Bonnar, Cat Burns, Charlotte Church, Ruth Codd, Tameka Empson, Paloma Faith, Kate Garraway, Celia Imrie, Joe Marler and many more.
