The Traitors UK season 2: London contestants taking part in the new BBC series - how to watch

BBC audiences got their first look at The Traitors UK season 2 line-up yesterday evening (January 3) as the new series premiered. Here are all the Londoners taking part in the second edition of the show.

Wednesday's season opener saw Traitors host Claudia Winkleman once again welcome 22 strangers to a remote Scottish Highlands castle as they embarked on a new game of trust and betrayal.

This year's cast features people from all different walks of life from around the country, including three who call the capital home.

Which contestants from The Traitors UK season 2 are from London?

Jasmine

26-year-old Jasmine works as a sales executive in the city.

Talking ahead of the show, Jasmine shared she is most excited for the missions as she noted she’s "sporty" and an "adrenaline junkie".

As well as helping her fellow contestants out filling the prize pot on missions, Jasmine has hinted her personality may take her far. 

She said: “I’m very personable, and people tend to want to befriend me a lot which is how you get people on side. It’s a game of making allies, isn't it? You don’t want people to vote you out.”

Zack 

Parliamentary affairs advisor Zack, 27, thinks himself "very good at reading people". He said: “My game plan, regardless of which team I'm in, is to strike up close friendships.”

On the topic of game plans he said he admired the gameplay in the first Traitors season or fellow Londoner Wilfred, who just missed out on winning the prize money. 

He added: “I think he was great and the standout for the series. I actually rewatched it and I was watching him in the first episode. He was so 'on it' from the start. It was so Machiavellian - he was a schemer.”

Ash

Ash is a 45-year-old events coordinator who hails from Walthamstow and the Londoner said day job has helped prepare her. 

She said: “I think I'll be really good at keeping my composure. Even in my day job, I’ve worked in some very stressful situations. We quite often get called ‘The Swans’ because on the outside, we look calm but underneath the water is another story.”
