Celebrity Traitors contestant Bella Ramsey has revealed they have been playing a version of the game for the past 12 years.
The Game of Thrones star, 22, is a huge fan of the hit BBC show, and says that their past experience was a big reason they signed up for its upcoming second series.
Bella said: "I've been playing a version of The Traitors since I was 10 years old when I joined The Television Workshop. I've had game evenings and hosted them at my house and been to other’s evenings so I'm familiar with the game.
"I love it so much, and that was really my reason why. I was working on a production at the time of the last Celebrity Traitors – It’s called Maya, which was filmed in Scotland, actually. We were all watching and so excited about it, and then we ended up playing a crew game."
They added: "I was playing a game as recently as two days ago. I was at my friend's birthday, and we played. And a few weeks before that, I'd been hosting a game evening, so I've been playing it pretty regularly!"
Bella revealed that they'd ideally like to be a Traitor on the show, but they are 'not good' at telling lies, so they also wouldn't mind being a Faithful.
They explained: "I would love to be a Traitor, I really would, but I'm also okay with being a Faithful. I think being a Traitor can make things a bit more stressful, but in a way that's exciting to me.
"I think that I will last longer in the game as a Traitor, you've only got one way to lose the game rather than two."

The actor went on to rate their lie-telling skills and said: "I’m definitely not good at telling them. I wouldn’t say I’m good at spotting them, but I am good at spotting changes in behaviour.
"No matter who I get selected to be, I'll be playing the character I’m given essentially. I'm not a good liar, I'm a terrible liar, so I can't do it that way. The best way for me would be treating this just like I’m playing a character, but myself within the character."
The BAFTA-nominated actor also believes that their acting talents may be able to help them succeed in the game. They added: "For me, anyway, because again, if I was telling a lie, people would spot me instantly.
"Playing a character, it's like that's what I do!"
