Get to know the cast of The Traitors series 2, including who are the traitors and who are the faithfuls.
The Traitors series 2 saw a brand new cast of faithfuls and traitors hoping to win the £120k prize for themselves, by competing in a series of challenges without being banished or ‘killed’ by the traitors.
From an insurance broker and a retired teacher to a chess coach and a veterinary nurse, The Traitors series two contestants were raring to go when they were welcomed to Ardross Castle by host Claudia Winkleman and it didn't take long for viewers to spot their favourites; Harry, Diane, Ross and Myles.
Viewers are about to get to know the cast, some of who have a game plan and have been on TV before and some of who are there just to be themselves and see how far they get.
Get to know The Traitors contestants below.

If Andrew wins the prize fund he plans to help others after experiencing a life-changing incident.
He said: "I believe I have an inspiring story; I was pronounced dead on the side of the road 23 years ago and I was in a coma for nearly five weeks. My parents were told I’d never walk ever again, I had brain damage and that there's a chance of me not waking up from my coma.
"My parents were told that if I did wake up, I’d never walk, talk or use my arms again and I may not recognise them. They were told to prepare for the worst. There's lots of things that happened to me, and the doctors call me a miracle patient."
He said of his plans for the prize fund: "I'd like to do something like personal training but also help people with their mental health."

Age: 31

Jonny said he'll bring his enthusiasm to the game, adding: "I’m a character, basically. Everyone my entire life has said 'Jonny, your life is like a film mate. The things you end up in.' I like to light up a room. I’ve had a lot of darkness around me a lot of my life and I think I’ve learnt to use humour to combat it."
He said of his plans to spend the prize fund: "I've thought about getting a top-of-the-range camper van to go out and about in. Sounds like a typical midlife crisis. Single, divorced bloke... but I’ve genuinely always been like that. The other thing that is important to me is to be able to make a difference to my kids' lives. I’d love to do as much as I possibly can for them and of course, money helps with that. That, for me, is my ultimate drive."

Her game plans involve playing on the fact everyone sees her as 'the innocent one.' She said: "In my workplace and my household, I'm always the little star, the little sister, a little baby, the innocent one that everyone always wants to look after. So, I'm going to try use that to my advantage at key moments, hopefully."

Ross described his game plan as: "I think I’ll bring a little bit of liveliness. I’m definitely not going in it to take it too seriously. Obviously, it is a game, and I am in it to play but, I’m not really there to play a game to be honest with you. I’m just in it to have a little bit of fun and hopefully, provide a little bit of energy to the camp."
Asked about his prize fund Ross said: "If I won, I don’t actually know. Maybe a mini holiday and then save up for a house? A bit boring, well the holiday isn’t, but you know, all the adult stuff."

Sonja applied for The Traitors because she wanted something that "would challenge me and test all of my abilities."

Tracey's heading onto the show without a game plan but used to be in the Air Force so is looking forward to the challenges and missions.

Zack said his game plan is to: "Try and get two, three, four people from different age groups and backgrounds and have their backs but kind of be secretly puppeteering from the background so they do the things I want them to do."
He said of how he'd spend the prize fund: "It's going to be a boring answer, but a deposit on a flat. The real answer, that my girlfriend doesn’t know, is I want to spend it on a Mazda MX-5, because I love cars and racing."
