When Claudia Winkleman's mysterious gameshow The Traitors hit our screens in the direction of the top of 2022, it took the nation by storm.
We have been immediately obsessed with the high-stakes challenges and mind-games that saw contestants 'banished' or 'murdered' as Faithfuls or Traitors.

And now, another batch of hopefuls have been put to the check across the roundtables and pointing fingers at one another – and we're hooked yet again.
There's simply days to go, and after Traitors Paul, Ash, and Miles have been banished, the one unique that is still is Harry, although Andrew and Ross have joined him on the darkish aspect.
After Harry turned on his co-conspirators in a blistering betrayal, and left Ross avenging his mother Diane's 'death' with Andrew nonetheless not sure over the guilt of 'killing off' the opposite gamers, the ultimate episodes are set to be as tense as ever.

And whereas a lot of The Traitors nonetheless stays shrouded in thriller, season one contestant Rayan Rachedi has revealed what it was actually like being part of the first collection of the beloved present.
'I needed to discover out who the Traitors are on the group WhatsApp as a result of nobody would tell me'
Even after leaving the game, by way of being banished or murdered, the contestants weren't officially advised by producers who the Traitors actually have been.
So, they had to determine it out for themselves, with Rayan admitting he solely came upon on a gaggle chat after his exit.
He stated: 'As quickly as you come out, there's type of like decompression after which when you're on your means residence, you get back and you turn on your phone, and you get a number of days value of texts unexpectedly, after which the others who have already been out have added your Instagram and WhatsApp and stuff, and you then get into the group chat.
'It was an enormous shock for everyone as properly because like, I didn't inform anybody in the show that I was a lawyer so [they] messaged me [afterwards] like Rayan, you didn't tell us all of that.
'So that you get out and there's a gaggle chat and I checked the group chat logs just lately because i was curious and the primary few messages are like "oh my god guys", like they advised us within the group chats.
'I feel Alyssa in all probability advised everybody, however it was Aisha [Birley] who informed me particularly as a result of she was online on the time.'
He added: 'Manufacturing won't inform you something, as a result of they're so afraid of this leaking out. And let's be trustworthy, if I'd been advised by manufacturing on my approach out I'd have tried to drop a notice to somebody, so it's pretty good factor they did it truthfully.'
'The meals was probably the most surprising secret'
As the brand new collection has begun airing, some former contestants have revealed what life on the show was actually like, including the food.
Whereas it all seems pretty mouth-watering, and breakfasts appear to include pastries, eggs, toast, marmalade, and served up with some drama, it's not all because it appears.
Trustworthy Ivan Brett wrote on X: 'I'm sorry guys, it's time to return clean and leak one thing surprising about #TheTraitors.
'It pains me to inform you, but that breakfast is REALLY DRY AND NOT VERY NICE.'
'We didn't have any breaks from filming'
While we all know exhibits like Love Island have a day without work filming, Rayan shared that The Traitors had no breaks, not even throughout meal occasions, which is actually when some of the most dramatic moments happened.
Rayan stated: 'In my last episode, I've an entire chat [after the Traitors started accusing me] with Fay [Greaves], and it simply will get irritating.
'In case you look around, you in all probability see the plate as a result of I vividly keep in mind eating fried hen whereas having a conversation with Fay and Aaron.
'There's never really a break, and typically they only gained't be filming for whatever purpose, in the event that they don't actually need to, and typically they will be filming, there's no set rule.'
Rayan elsewhere stated that they weren't advised by producers that they weren't filming, including: 'You'll be able to simply assume by the fact that if there's no cameras in the room, you'll be able to type of guess.'
'There was a reasonably strict alcohol restrict – but we discovered a approach around it'
Like plenty of other reality programmes, The Traitors had rules about alcohol, which, in line with Rayan have been 'clear'.
He stated: 'You're allowed one glass of wine or like one drink. It's a glass of wine or a pint of beer on the finish of the day, after the roundtable, after any missions because you possibly can't do missions drunk, and that's the one factor you're allowed.'
Nevertheless, he did say 'negotiations' befell for an extra drink within the contestants' rooms, saying: 'In case you negotiate your method around this, you're allowed one additional glass when you're again to your lodgings, you possibly can have a cheeky additional glass but that's it so there's a reasonably strict alcohol restrict.
'And you may't steal anyone else's alcohol because we all need it.'
He elsewhere joked: 'I informed the producers after the present, I was like, guys, this may be so much funnier if everybody gets s**t-faced and says "Oh, I'm a Traitor", whereas drunk, but they have been afraid of individuals giving something away.'
'The challenges are just as onerous as they appear and the tiniest hint would send us spiralling'
With out revealing any particulars about what the challenges truly entailed, or any of the hints he discovered, Rayan confirmed that they're in reality, simply as arduous as they appear.
One saw the contestants rolling big barrels up and down hills, whereas one other concerned operating around sheep.
'The factor with challenges, is that you simply don't have a clue what's occurring,' Rayan began, including that the 'tiniest hints' would make him 'hyper conscious'.
'You just spiral over the tiniest trace. However you have no idea what you're stepping into.'

'It's very scary.'

Every morning, the contestants walked into the breakfast room to seek out out who had been murdered the night time before, and the only approach they did so can be to wait to see who didn't are available.
'It's not scripted,' Rayan confirmed.

'Claudia Winkleman was so supportive and has a genuine love for the game' – but was once given a warning by producers
Host Claudia Winkleman, who scored a Bafta for her epic position, was really as supportive and involved within the recreation as we see.
Rayan stated: 'I feel her position is absolutely what you see on TV, she's been sensible. She's only a help, such as you've acquired to be indifferent as a result of if she's too close, she may danger by accident giving one thing away. She's obtained to be super stoned face, but on the similar time she was sensible and she or he was really supportive.

'I simply heard in my ear, very quietly, "Watch your respiration." And I assumed, "This is one thing else. I don't know what is occurring, however that is something."'

'Contestants aren't allowed to maintain something from the sport, however I held on to a secret notice from Claudia'
