"The Traitors ' producers asked her to get another CT scan prior to filming "just to be sure", which identified the seriousness of the condition. "It has got a lot worse in the last five years," Collier went on to say explaining there's a genetic factor involved. The former detective said medication, lifestyle changes, and regular NHS check-ups have put her "in a good place"."
"But she maintained, had it not been for The Traitors ' "due diligence" she "would never have noticed" any change. Still able to exercise, Collier also expressed her thanks to the show saying: "I'm very, very grateful." Collier works as an advocate for the British Heart Foundation (BHF), and wants to use her public profile to "tell people that heart disease doesn't have an age, young and old people can get heart disease"."
Amanda Collier received an initial diagnosis of slight heart damage in 2019 after her sister suffered a heart attack. A pre-filming CT scan for The Traitors revealed the condition had become significantly more serious, with a genetic factor contributing to deterioration over five years. Medication, lifestyle changes, and regular NHS check-ups have stabilized her health and allowed continued exercise. The diagnosis prompted gratitude toward the show's medical screening. Collier advocates for the British Heart Foundation and uses her profile to warn that heart disease can affect people of any age and does not have to stop them doing what they love.
