Liv, 26, beautician and model from Horsham

She claims she wants to be ‘a faithful’ and wouldn’t be a ringleader but that may all change as the game of The Traitors Series 3 heats up and numbers deplete.

Olivia, also known as Liv says, “I find it really easy to get on with people, I’m always an easy talker, I have a lot of laughs, and I think I can adjust myself to different personalities. I won’t be getting involved in any dramas, I definitely won’t be a ringleader. If I suspect anybody, I will not be throwing their names out there because there’s obviously a risk of being murdered and that’s exactly what I don’t want to happen.”

To avoid getting killed it’s all about classic manipulation and establishing trust, but is Liv up to the job? “You never really know until you’re there,” she says. “When you meet the other players they might be completely different to the series we’ve watched, and you’ll bond differently with different people. It’s about who you can trust.”

And she’s no dumb blonde, she’s even going to use that (false) stereotype to her advantage. “If I suspect a Traitor, I’d be sneaky and make friends with them and get on their good side, they’ll think that I’m naive and want to take me to the end, then when I get right to the end, I can let loose!”
As the game sets off, Liv is determined to be herself and believes she’ll succeed in finding out who the traitors are. “I’m really good at sussing people out so I could then focus on who I think is a Traitor. I’d have my own little game plan in my head, I wouldn’t be giving off too much information to anyone.”

Francesca, 44, interior designer from East Sussex

Going in with a game plan is a clever move, and Francesca’s reveals The Traitors Series 3 it’s all about making friends with everyone. She says, “If I suspected someone as being a Traitor, I might befriend them a little bit to get to know them. If I thought they were lying, I’d call them out.”

But calling them out may just spell disaster for her if she gets in wrong. Although Francesca already has a solution, “I will observe quite a lot. In a previous series the ones that were quiet got quite far. The ones who were asking a lot of questions got murdered quickly.

“I think you’ve got to read the room a bit and distinguish between the strong characters and the quieter people and find out where you fit into that.”While The Traitors may be all about who can deceive who, this faithful believes in speaking up, but is going to do so in the right way.

“I’m very straight talking. I’m not a natural liar…I think if you’re being massively duplicitous you should do that in a somewhat authentic and sensitive way.”

We’ll have to see if their game plans pay off.

The Traitors Series 3 continues on 8, 9, 10 Jan and 15, 16, 17 Jan. Each episode will be on iPlayer once its aired.
