The Traitors star Aisha Birley has lifted the lid on a life-changing experience on the Claudia Winkleman’s BBC game show that has the nation hooked. The reality series, set in a castle in the Scottish Highlands, captured imaginations as 22 strangers competed in a series of missions for a chance to win a prize fund of up to £120,000.
Amongst the players were a select group of 'Traitors', chosen by host Claudia, who met in secret to decide who to eliminate from their fellow contestants, known as 'Faithfuls'. The goal, as they took their place at the round table each evening, was to identify and eliminate the Traitors through a 'banishment.'
If any Traitors made it to the end of the series, they could steal the money, and, each night after dark, the Traitors met in secret to decide which Faithful to 'murder.' At breakfast it was revealed who had gone home without any goodbyes and their portrait was brutally removed from the wall.
