QUOTES:

"I definitely milk the 'James Bond baddie' vibe in The Traitors. It's so good because I am playing this character - it's clearly not me, I do this funny accent - and it is such a huge character, and it is so hilarious to think that I am acting my socks off on a competition reality show." - Alan Cumming

"'I just farted, Claudia. It's the nerves but I always own up!" - Celia Imrie

FACTS:

The show was originally going to take place on a ship, based on the real-life mutiny on the 17th-century Dutch ship the Batavia. However, the massive cost of staging a show on a ship meant they pivoted to a castle instead!
