Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey has been playing a version of The Traitors for 12 years, which is a huge reason why they signed up for The Celebrity Traitors.
Bella Ramsey has been playing a version of The Traitors for 12 years.
The Game of Thrones actress, 22, is a huge fan of the BBC show, and they have been playing a similar game for the last 10 years, which is a huge reason why they signed up as a contestant for the upcoming second series of The Celebrity Traitors.
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.
"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!"
The Last of Us star would love to be a Traitor in the upcoming series, but the star is "not good" at telling lies and they wouldn't mind being a Faithful.
Bella added: "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."
Asked if they think they are better at telling lies or spotting them, Bella 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.
Bella also thinks their acting skills might give them a "bit of an edge" in the programme.
The Sheep Detectives star 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!"
