The Traitors UK II: Meet contestant Charlie

Cloaks at the ready - The Traitors is back!

After a seemingly-interminable wait, Claudia Winkleman has returned to her Scottish castle to welcome a new group of 22 strangers to play the ultimate game of deception. Who will become The Traitors and who are The Faithfuls?

Read on for a profile of contestant Charlie....

Charlie

Age: 34

From: Bristol

Occupation: Mental Health Area Manager

Why did you apply for the show?
"I loved series one, I love the game and it's just a little bit of me, it literally is my personality. I like to analyse everything. Everywhere I go I'm constantly thinking, looking at people's body language, trying to work people out. To the point that sometimes I have to switch off my brain! Obviously, the prize is great! I love the adrenaline too even though I'll get nervous as you know anyone would. I loved the missions too, they were so cool. I loved the hay bale one... I hope they use the hay bales again!"

What is your game plan?
"I think I'm going to adapt to my surroundings and adapt to the people that are there. I'm going to really trust my instincts with people. I am going to play the game because that's what it is, a TV programme. The aim of the game really is to not look like you're a Traitor enough to be to be sent home. But then you don't want to be off the radar because you'll get murdered, you have to find that middle ground."

How would you feel to be chosen as a Traitor?
"Scared, I think! I mean, I've tried to prepare for it just in case it does happen. But I think I'd be a little bit worried."

What would you spend the prize money on?
"I'm going to get married. I've been with my boyfriend for 11 years and we've been engaged for nine, so I think it's about time that we actually got married! I also want do stuff to my house. I own my own house but would love to do some home improvements, and maybe even go on a holiday. I mean, why stop there? I could keep going!"
