"The curveball new role has proved a gamechanging twist in BBC mega hit The Traitors. Swishing around Ardross Castle in a red cloak, as opposed to the Traitors' familiar green, the Secret Traitor's identity is unknown to contestants and viewers alike. It hasn't just stoked paranoia in the Traitors' turret but enabled the audience to play along at home, turning us all into armchair sleuths as we try to crack the case."
"Bookies' early favourite for the Secret Traitor role was retired police detective Amanda. It's easy to see why. She says she learned about being deceptive from the criminals she encountered during her career and was keen to be a Traitor: I've tracked down baddies all my life. Now it's time to be one. Who better to go undercover? Amanda has mentioned her training in covert techniques and intelligence policing, so she has the skill set."
The Traitors introduced a surprise Secret Traitor role who appears in a red cloak at Ardross Castle, with identity concealed from contestants and viewers. The new role intensified distrust among contestants and invited audience participation as amateur detectives. Hugo the teddy bear was banished early, likely hastening the unmasking. A recent episode ended with a cliffhanger as Traitors prepared to meet the mysterious figure, with the reveal scheduled for the following broadcast. Betting markets and observers favour Amanda, a retired police detective, because of her claimed experience in covert techniques, intelligence policing and a self-described 'Jekyll and Hyde' approach to deception.
