Winkleman told media outlets, including The Independent: “I can’t say anything else, but that is the smart way to enter the castle., “I don’t want to be a traitor; I’m just going to glide along here and not bother anyone and if I see someone I suspect, I’ll just get closer to them.” However, she said to be a successful Traitor, you also need “charm”. When asked if she would rather be a Traitor or a Faithful, Winkleman continued: “I think if you’re a Traitor, you feel you’re in control of the game – but I also feel you’re putting yourself on a ledge, so I think maybe I’d want to be a useful Faithful.” Claudia Winkleman, host of ‘The Traitors’ The presenter said she would be “terrible” playing the game, but would like to see her friend Victoria Coren Mitchell, fellow TV host Stephen Fry, EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt, and actor and noted Traitors fan Andrew Garfield, participate in a celebrity version. Winkleman, who described the roundtable section of the show as the most nerve-wracking thing she’s ever done, teased a nasty series two twist, stating: “It gets really dark. We all had to have a little group cuddle, going: ‘Are we doing this?’” The host also said she “became so obsessed” by one of the new contestants that their exit left her “inconsolable”.
