The Traitors' Linda breaks silence after being kicked off show and reveals one regret

The second Traitor to leave the BBC1 show tonight described the experience as the “pinnacle of my life” as she was finally banished from the series. The Faithful finally found another foe in Linda Rands, and the only question was - what took them so long? Having singled out retired opera singer Linda in the very first episode, Jake was tonight seen celebrating by repeatedly pointing out that he’d suspected her “from day one”. But it still took him until day 15 - or episode 7 - to actually get her evicted from the castle.
And tonight the purple-haired 70-year-old from Hertfordshire said she felt “proud” of how long she’d managed to stay in the game. Speaking after leaving the TV show, Linda admitted that she actually regretted saying she’d be a Traitor in the first place. “I have to say when Claudia was going around the table I started to panic, thinking 'no I don’t want to be one, don’t choose me’.
And in terms of a game-plan, she just didn’t have one. “I didn’t really have a strategy, I think it was just to not let people know I was a Traitor,” she explained. Linda also said she felt that being a ‘random air-head’ had played in her favour because it meant some people didn’t suspect her. “I played the jokey person, and that did work, and I am a bit of an air-head so that came over as well.”.
But in fact her randomness, she has since learned, might have been her undoing. “When I left, that was one of the things they mentioned. They said ‘you’re so random in what you do and that’s why we think you’re a Traitor’." To Linda though, it simply meant she’d been true to herself. “If you ask anyone in my family, they’d say that’s me, that’s who I am, I’m very random! So, it was really funny they picked up on that.”.
