Claudia Winkleman has revealed how The Traitors are chosen on the very first show. In the first episode of the BBC programme, the host, 52, anonymously picks a number of contestants be the Traitors, who will secretly fake-murder the rest of the Faithfuls throughout the game in a bid to get their hands on the prize money.
This year's series saw Minah, Linda and recently-departed Armani picked to be the murderers, however while it may appeared to have been a random selection, there is in fact a careful selection process made ahead of the show. Speaking to The Radio Times ahead of the grand finale later this month, Claudia told how there's a team of people who make the decision, while players' wishes are also taken into consideration.
She explained: 'It’s not down to me. There’s a group of us, including the brilliant producers and casting team. We go into a room and don’t leave until they’re chosen. If someone asks not to be a Traitor, they wouldn’t be picked.'. Meanwhile, Claudia opened up about the epic banishment twist that is set to rock the final players.
