Paloma Faith for The Celebrity Traitors / BBC
Paloma Faith has said she believes she is well-placed to sniff out Traitors on The Celebrity Traitors due to her “exceptional” people-reading skills.
The spinoff of the hugely-popular reality show gets underway next week, with singer-songwriter Paloma among 19 celebrities heading to the Highlands for the game of truth and lies.
Asked before the show if she can spot liars, Paloma responded: “That’s my worry. I’m exceptional at reading people, and I’m worried that I’ll get voted off or murdered, because they’ll see that in me. I need to keep it under the radar about how good at it I am.
“I’m at the point in my life where people don’t even want to introduce me to their new boyfriend because they’re worried I’ll say ‘I don’t get good vibes from him’.”
Paloma is also uncertain whether she will adopt a strategy or go with the flow in the game, adding: “I keep changing my mind, which is sort of what I’m like – adaptable! Sometimes I think my game plan is that I’m just going to be really honest, because there’s no way that I can do anything else than genuinely be myself.
“My main concern is that when I’ve watched the show, I feel that the people who tend to get through to the end are the ones who have maybe been a little bit under the radar.
“I’m in favour of having a voice of any kind, rather than sitting on the fence. I’d get rid of the boring ones!”
The Celebrity Traitors begins Wednesday, October 8 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
