The Traitors winners Meryl, Aaron and Hannah have shared their advice for fans looking to compete in the second season.
Scottish winner Meryl has recently opened up about her dream to move into TV presenting and journalism work after quitting her day job at a call centre. The Traitors took social media by storm this year as viewers were hooked by the backstabbing and secret tactics used by contestants.
The reality show, which was hosted by Claudia Winkleman, saw the three remaining Faithful competitors suss out the final two Traitors at the last second. Wilfred Webster and Kieran Tompsett were the only contestants in the final sent home without a share of the £101,050 prize fund.
The winning trio spoke to RadioTimes.com and have now revealed their advice for fans hoping to make it onto the show next season.
"Definitely do it," Edinburgh local Meryl encouraged those thinking of applying. "And just be yourself. That's what I was. I went through the whole interview stage myself.
"Just be yourself and if you want to do it, do it! Never let anyone say no, that's what I basically say. If someone says no, you're asking the wrong person. So just always just keep on trying – and definitely just be yourself and that should be enough."
"Just don't have a game plan because it changes every day," Hannah advised. "And always be open to your best mate being a Traitor."
"What advice would I give? Probably just to be yourself," Arron said. "Because if you're gonna start trying to act like someone else, that's gonna be really hard to carry the whole way through."
In terms of tactics, Aaron continued: "Obviously it's called 'The Traitors', it's not called 'The Faithfuls', so they are the ones that manage the game – and it's really difficult to suss them out.
"But try and befriend everyone you possibly can, and hope that one of them is going to be the Traitor and they can kind of carry you the whole way to the end.
"Just don't have a game plan because it changes every day," Hannah advised. "And always be open to your best mate being a Traitor."
It's been recently reported that the reality TV game show will return next year for a second series, and Claudia is expected to return as the host.
A TV insider has told Daily Star: "The Traitors has become a big hit after just a few weeks. It was a no-brainer to commission another series. Everyone is hoping it will be even more popular by next year and become one of the biggest shows on TV."
