And right there in the middle of it all is Anna Duke from Wicklow - a contestant who's already admitted she's a big fan of the show, confessing that she's 'obsessed' with it.
Anna was chosen to be a Faithful by host Claudia Winkleman. Like all players, Anna is at constant risk of banishment but there is the added layer of being 'murdered' by the Traitors.
Here's everything you need to know about Anna as her time on The Traitors plays out.
Name: Anna Duke
Age: 28
Occupation: Swimming teacher
Where's Anna from? Wicklow
What will Anna bring to Traitors UK? Anna says she has the 'gift of the gab' but doesn't know if this will work in her favour or not.
She said: "I'm a big talker. Sometimes if someone asks me a question, I will go on such a tangent that I have forgotten what the question was, but so will they!
"I think I have the gift of the gab. I might talk myself into a situation, then hopefully out of a situation and then everyone's going to forget what the situation was in the first place!"
How did Anna discover The Traitors? By accident - she stumbled across it one evening while passing time waiting for dinner to cook, now she's on it.
Why go on The Traitors? Anna applied to be on the show on a whim. "It's the only TV show I've thought I’d be good at that! I've got a brain that can compartmentalise things and I can be quite personable.
"I think a lot of it does depend on your ability to control your emotions in that environment and your ability to get people on your side, which are two things that I think I have a bit of a skill for."
Is Anna a Traitor or Faithful? Anna is a Faithful. In fact, throughout the casting process she was adamant that she wanted to be a Faithful.
If she wins the prize, what will Anna do with the cash? Anna explains: 'I went to college twice, my first degree was media, but my second degree was pattern drafting to be a seamstress,' she said. '’m passionate about sustainable fashion and would love to set up a sustainable fashion line that's slightly more affordable for young women. I really admire some UK brands but they’re harder to get in Ireland, so I'd love to do an Irish line.'
