In a recent interview, the charming Claudia Winkleman finally revealed some intriguing secrets about the popular show, The Traitors. One burning question that fans have been asking is: where do the contestants sleep? As the host of the thrilling murder mystery game, Claudia has kept us all on the edge of our seats for two seasons now. With 22 contestants, made up of both traitors and faithful detectives, the show takes place at Ardoss Castle, located in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.
But what about the contestants' living arrangements? Well, according to Claudia, they don't actually sleep in the castle. Instead, they stay in different hotels to prevent any collaboration or cheating. In an interview on the Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, Claudia shared, "The amazing thing about that castle is if you leave the castle, it goes- there are so many tributaries. So everybody is man-marked, they have somebody who is looking after them, and when they leave the castle, they don't see each other until they arrive at breakfast." This strict rule ensures that the game remains fair and unpredictable.
Claudia also revealed that the contestants are not allowed to use their phones and stay up filming until late at night. The traitors, who have to plan their murders after the faithful have gone to sleep, stay up even later. Claudia explained, "There is no way they can bump into anyone. Everybody leaves, including the traitors, and then they're brought back about an hour later." It's clear that the show's producers have put a lot of thought into creating a truly immersive and intense experience for both the contestants and the viewers.
It's not just the contestants who have interesting living arrangements. The Traitors' US host, Alan Cumming, also shared some behind-the-scenes information. Despite some scenes being filmed in luxurious rooms, none of the stars actually stayed in the castle. "Spoiler alert: None of us stayed in the castle. None of us," he revealed in an interview with the Daily Beast. "They [the contestants] all stayed in the airport hotel in the Inverness airport. How glamorous—you come to Scotland, and you stay in the Inverness airport hotel." He added that he stayed in a house in Inverness and had a room in the castle where he would get ready for filming.
The mystery behind the contestants' living arrangements has finally been solved, following the success of The Traitors' second season. With applications now open for the third season, fans can't wait to see what twists and turns the show has in store. In the season two finale, contestant Harry Clark walked away with a staggering £95,150, after a season full of jaw-dropping betrayals and unforgettable moments. The finale drew in a whopping 6.9 million viewers, with an average of 5.5 million tuning in. You can catch up on all the action on BBC iPlayer.
