finalist Wilfred Webster believes the recent show changes have made it “a lot harder” for contestants to win the show.
The latest series, hosted by the beloved presenter , has been equally gripping and entertaining as the preceding seasons.
Some of the highlights have included the hilarious antics from fan-favourite Linda Rans and the brilliantly bizarre tactics from Charlotte Berman who has had quite the journey on the TV show.
At the start of the series the brunette beauty, 33, began as a Faithful, but has since been recruited as a Traitor and has successfully gone under the radar amongst her peers.
With just one episode left of the nail-biting reality show, former Traitor Wilf has shared his thoughts on the latest changes to the programme since he competed on the show in 2022.

Last week, Claudia revealed a new twist on the reality show which allows one contestant to become The Seer. The new twist is a based on a character which has been pulled from the Werewolf – a cult card game that the show is loosely based on.
In the game, The Seer is able to guess the Werewolf’s true identity in secret, and can then go on to help the rest of the team to discover the villain’s identity. However, Wilf believes that the new twist has made the game “a lot harder” for the Traitors to win without being detected.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, in collaboration with Mecca Bingo, the 28-year-old confessed: “The new murder in plain sight tasks seem a lot harder and having the option to sabotage missions is added pressure.”
Despite the changes, the star couldn’t help but shower the show with praise as he reflected on his time in Ardross Castle. He gushed: “I love it, complete freedom to do what we wanted and just do our thing.

“To be honest what you see on screen is exactly how the day runs, the only things you don’t really see how much fun we had at times”. It comes after Minah Shannon was banished on Wednesday’s (January 22) dramatic round table just two days before the final.
The call centre manager, 29, had survived 10 days in the castle after she was picked to be a Traitor by Claudia in the very first episode. But in a major twist, Charlotte threw her teammate under the bus after she recruited her earlier in the series.
After the dramatic scenes hit the airwaves, Minah broke her silence on Charlotte’s savage betrayal on the show’s spin off podcast Uncloaked, admitting she should have thought twice about her choice of teammate.
She told listeners: “Charlotte, I had accused her on the second round table and she had proven her faithfulness so in my head I thought she is the only female who has proven to everybody that she is one hundred percent faithful, therefore, surely she will think that I want to win with her.
“But looking back on it now, because I accused her, she didn’t trust me one bit.” Minah went on to say though she wouldn’t change a thing about how she played the game.
“I want to say I’d pick different but if I’m being honest with you, I wouldn’t do anything different, I didn’t win but I went out how I wanted to go out with integrity. I was clear in my mission who was a sisterhood. I tried where possible to protect Londa, I never made rumours about Charlotte.”
The final of The Traitors airs on Friday (January 24) on One from 9pm or catch up on iPlayer.
