Paloma Faith shared her experiences filming for the upcoming BBC game show, Celebrity Traitors, where she often consulted with a psychologist. The singer, aged 44, noted the unexpected psychological effects the competition had on her, emphasizing how it influenced her mindset throughout the process.
Celebrity Traitors Premise and Participants
Celebrity Traitors features various celebrities competing in a Scottish castle for a chance to win up to £100,000 for charity. Notable participants include:
- Stephen Fry, 68
- Tom Daley, 31
- Alan Carr, 49
The format of the show requires contestants to work together to identify the “traitors,” thereby securing a shared prize for the remaining “faithful” members. However, the unmasked traitor stands to claim the entire prize if identified during the final.
Paloma’s Insights on the Show’s Impact
In an interview prior to the series launch, Paloma explained her reliance on welfare support during filming. She stated, “I saw the therapist all the time. I learned things about myself that I thought I had moved on from.” The isolation and competitive nature of the show contributed to her emotional experience.
Emotional Challenges
As contestants become enmeshed in the strategy of the game, Paloma admitted she experienced unexpected emotional challenges. “Everybody on the show is worried about how they will be portrayed,” she remarked. This fear stems from the editing process, which could depict participants in vastly different lights.
Post-Show Connections and Family Reaction
Following her time on the show, Paloma has remained close with fellow contestants, particularly YouTuber Niko Omilana, 27, and actress Ruth Codd, 29. She described them as her favorites and significant friends she made during the competition.
In her personal life, Paloma revealed that her children are excited to watch her on Celebrity Traitors. She mentioned, “The four-year-old won’t know what is going on, but the eight-year-old loves it.”
Fashion Highlights
Paloma also praised host Claudia Winkleman for her stylish outfits throughout the series, noting that her wardrobe has elevated the show’s aesthetic significantly.
Celebrity Traitors is set to premiere on Wednesday, promising to deliver an engaging competition filled with psychological intrigue and entertainment.
