What's your Faithful game plan? "I’d be the grey man, watching, listening, I've got quite a good memory. So, trying to remember what people have done and what they've said. I'm quite good at picking up on people who overact. I've noticed in previous series, like Will, and also, Paul, that, as they were Traitors, they had a tendency to ham it up a bit more, over-act slightly. And I'm quite good at picking up people who are drama queens."

What do you think you'll bring to the game? "I think I'm a very happy, positive, bubbly person. And I get along with most people that I meet. I feel like I'd be able to really make some good connections and good friends with everyone. I also say everything that is on my mind."

What are you like playing games with friends and family? "I'd say 90% competitive, 10% fun. You can't lose the fun entirely, but if you're in a game situation, it's all about the competition."

Faithful or Traitor: N/A

Age: 38

Job: Former British Diplomat

Hometown: London

Are you competitive? "Yes, I’ve always been quite competitive. In my education and career I’ve found myself in environments that encouraged me to push myself. Although I'm pretty competitive I do try and pretend not to be, because it can make you seem like a horrible human being!'

Job: Bank Risk Manager

Hometown: Liverpool

Social media account: @djzb100

Why did you apply to be on The Traitors? "I've always loved strategy games; I've always loved the opportunity to see how people manipulate and deceive in different types of games. And I just really wanted an opportunity to do something that you don't do in your everyday life; throw myself into a game like this and see how I do. The first two seasons were really engaging, and I wanted to be a part of the next part of the story."

What did you think of the previous series? "I have different thoughts about both series. I thought everybody loved Mollie last year. She was lovely. There were a lot of arguments in the first series. I fear it's going to be the same in this series. So, I'm preparing myself for that."

Age: 50

Job: Community Development Manager

Hometown: Birmingham

Do you have a game plan? "I'll go in and make friends, and make sure that I can be trusted, I'd be myself, talk about stuff outside of work, show some level of compassion, you know, I want them to see the real me. But at the same time, I want to be strategic about it because you can't trust anyone. I am going to be careful about what I share and don't share. And normally I can smell a rat."

Job: Politics Student

Hometown: Peterborough

Was there anyone’s game plan you admired? "Harry, just because we're quite a similar age and obviously he won. I liked the way he played into the idea that you would never think it was him because he’s just a nice boy, who’s young, so people underestimated him. I also liked the Australian series two with Sam, the way he just got away with it, time after time is crazy, he was such a character."

Why did you apply to be on The Traitors? "My mum told me to apply, funnily enough. I was obsessed with the show, started watching it with my parents, and she just thought I would be a dead ringer to be on it. Also, the money isn't such a terrible incentive, there's more reasons than I can shake a stick at really, as to what I’d do with £120 grand! So, mother and money!"

Do you have a game plan? "When I've been watching at home, I’m always thinking I’ll be really strategic, and I’ll say this and I won’t say that and I’ll play it this way. But then, because of the luck element, I just think you’re best off going in and being yourself, you can’t fake yourself."

What did you think of the previous series? "I loved them both. Watched the first one and it was good, it was different but I wondered how are they going to do it again in a second series? However, I actually enjoyed the second one more. They upped it with the challenges and they started doing the immunity that made it more exciting, because they had something more to play for."

Do you have a game plan? "I've got rough ideas of little things that I'd like to try if I can. It all depends on whether I'm a Faithful or a Traitor, and what the other people are like. I think that's the key thing. Finding the right people around you and see who can and can't be pulled in whatever direction, depending on what my aims are."

Do you have a game plan? "The game plan is to stay behind, don't go out too bold and just be very wary. You also need to get to know everybody, that's the most important part but don’t trust anyone! You need friends, but you never know who will end up an enemy, so you need to keep that little distance and just remember all the time that it's only a game."

Why did you apply to take part in The Traitors? "It just looked like so much fun. I remember watching series one when I was pregnant with my partner, Sophie, and she said to me, oh, you'd be so good at this, because I tend to get away with a lot. I tend to tell a few white lies to my boss for a couple of days off work, and I somehow always seem to get away with it. And she said you'd be so good at getting people wrapped around your finger. Sounds awful, doesn't it?! And I applied in January."

What did you think of the previous series? "I loved it. I kept hearing about it and one of my colleagues at work kept talking about the Australian version and the American version, so one day me and my wife just said let’s see what it’s like. We started to watch episode one of the second series, and then just fell in love with it and went back to watch from series one!"

Job: Retired opera singer

Hometown: Hertfordshire

Why did you apply to be on The Traitors? "I watched the two series, and I thought, do you know what? I think I could do that. And it was in a mad moment that I looked it up on the internet and saw there was a form to apply, and I thought, I'm just going to apply, let's just see, never knowing that it would go this far. So yes, I love the show. I'm absolutely into it. I love the psychological game. I like the whole idea of fooling people."

Do you think you’ll do well in the missions? "I’m very athletic, I do a lot of running, I'm quite a sporty person and I've always been naturally good at sports stuff, apart from tennis - I can't seem to crack tennis. I'm not strong enough to hit the ball. I think my fitness levels will help in the Missions, and I'll be really good."
