The Traitors: Theo Mayne from Leeds discusses his time on the hit BBC show and his cheerleading, presenting and reality television dreams

The nation was gripped as Theo and 21 other strangers took to Ardross castle in the Scottish Highlands to take part in the series, which saw the 19 “faithfuls” try to wean out the three traitors in their midst who were sending their co-stars home – or “murdering” them – under cover of darkness each night.

Theo, who was a faithful throughout the series, was banished by his fellow brethren following one of the emotionally charged debates around the round table but left a lasting impact on his co-stars and the public for his bubbly personality and passion for representing people from minority and LGBTQ+ backgrounds.
