Why did you apply for the show?
"I just thought it was a great opportunity. It's a life-changing experience and not many people get to say that they've been on TV! It will be such a great experience. Don't get me wrong though, the money at the end would also be life-changing."
What will you bring to the game?
"Laughter, I think. Happiness and being myself. I can approach anyone, talk for ages and chat someone's ear off. My Mum says it, I'm the clumsiest but smartest guy she's ever met. When it comes to work, I know exactly what's going on, but when it comes to actual life and the real world, I find something new out every day. Every day is a learning curve for me to be honest. I think I'll bring a chilled out energy to the group, the one who can escape it all and remember that it's just a game. Morale, too. That's something I do with my job now, I'm a big morale person. Even though it's Monday, it's a step closer to Friday, do you know what I mean? I'm one of those people."
How would you feel to be chosen as a Traitor?
"Happy. 100%. I want to be a Traitor so bad! I know everyone says it, but I've always said I feel like I've got a Jekyll and Hyde in me where Monday to Friday I'm a Corporal and as soon as it hits Friday, I'm just Harry and I don't want to think about work for the weekend. I also have five brothers and sisters so I can tell little white lies and I make myself believe them first and then it just becomes the truth."
What would you spend the prize money on?
"I've been thinking about it, but I don't have it all worked out or a cool answer to give. I'm still only 22. I think that my happiness really comes from making everyone around me happy, so I would want to use some of the money to treat my family and my girlfriend. The other thing is I would like to replace my car. On top of that, I'd also like to use it to start my new chapter in life."
The Traitors series two begins Wednesday, January 3 at 9pm on BBC One.
