A Leeds cheerleading coach is set to take part in BBC's new reality show The Traitors with hopes to walk away with the cash prize.
The show will be hosted by Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman and will follow 22 strangers as they arrive at a castle in the Scottish Highlands to play the ultimate game of detection and backstabbing in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
However hidden amongst them are The Traitors whose job is to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught.

It’s up to the others to try and detect who the traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim.
For the lucky ones who survive to the end, they have the chance of winning that life-changing cash. But if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll take all the money.
Theo from Leeds, is hoping to walk away with the prize but It is unknown yet if he will be a Traitor or a Faithful in the show.
The 26-year-old revealed that he entered the competition because he wanted to get out of his “comfort zone.” and “try new things.”
Speaking about his game tactic he said: “My game plan is to be myself and let people fall in love with me. To get people to do their best and to help them believe in themselves.
“I'm used to helping and motivating people so going behind their backs would be hurtful, but at the end of the day, it’s for me as well. My poker face is quite strong, I do a lot of musical theatre so I'd like to say that I can act."
The cheerleading coach is hoping to make it all the way to the end as he admitted that once his competitive side comes out he’ll do everything he needs to do to win.
Theo revealed that if he won the money he would invest in his cheerleading business and open his own gym so he can host his own events such as LGBTQ family mornings.
He said: “I would invest it into a gym, because I'd like my own. Currently with my business, I rent from another gymnastics gym and I want to have my own unit to be able to provide sessions for all kinds of people, for example LGBTQ family mornings, and for cheerleading and do everything that I've always wanted to do.”
“For me, winning the money is an investment in my business that I will be able to touch more lives, reach more people and do good,” Theo added.
