Who is Andrew on The Traitors UK season 2?
THE TRAITORS is back for another series and 22 new faces have signed up for the challenge.
The BBC show, based on the Dutch series De Verraders, sees a group of contestants compete to build – and win – a cash prize while trying to oust the Traitors among them.
Who is Andrew on The Traitors?
Andrew is an insurance broker from Talbot Green in Wales.
He applied to be part of The Traitors as he wanted to “step out of [his] comfort zone.”
Before his debut on the BBC series, Andrew revealed what he has been through over the past few years that inspired him to take on the challenge.
He said: “Over the last couple of years I’ve been going through a personal growth journey where I’ve been trying to learn a lot about myself – I’ve grown a lot.
“I’ve been a Steady Eddy all my life, I suppose, never taking any risks or challenges.”
He continued: “You only have one life and I know that more than anyone because I suffered a serious accident many years ago.
“I’d like to inspire thousands of people out there who’ve maybe had a traumatic experience or suffered with their mental health.
“I want to inspire people and give them hope -to tell them that if you keep fighting and believing you will get to your dreams.”
Is Andrew a Traitor or Faithful?
Andrew was not chosen to be a Traitor during the first episode of the show’s second series on BBC, meaning he is playing as a Faithful.
The first three Traitors were chosen by host Claudia Winkleman, who interviewed each player to determine who would be a good fit for the role.
She was then seen tapping who she had chosen to be a Traitor on the shoulder at the round table, while all the contestants were blindfolded.
Describing his game plan if he were to play as a Faithful, Andrew said: “I’ll just get close. I’m very good at getting people to open up to me.
“For many, many years I’ve had lots of people tell me things, secrets that they haven’t told their family, friends or parents.
“People say that I make them feel comfortable, so they open up to me.”

Who are the Traitors in season 2?
The Traitors sees a small number of contestants secretly be chosen to be Traitors, while the rest of the cast remain as Faithfuls.
Throughout the episodes, the Traitors must work to sabotage the efforts of the Faithfuls while “murdering” them off one by one.
Meanwhile, the Faithfuls must try and uncover the Traitors among them and “banish” them from the castle.
Three Traitors were chosen in the first episode of The Traitors series two, with Winkleman tapping the shoulders of Ash, Paul and Harry.
During their first secret meeting, the Traitors found out that they had to choose a fourth Traitor from their remaining co-stars to help them go up against the Faithfuls.
After much deliberation, Ash, Harry and Paul chose veterinary nurse Miles to become a Traitor.
