Pondering just why The Traitors grips so many people, Winkleman said: “the people who make it are extraordinary… and the game is compelling. And I also think it taps into – I don’t know about you, but I’ve been told all my life, trust your gut. When you meet somebody or we fall in love, or think you’ve fallen in love, or you get asked to do a job… trust! This throws that out of the bucket and into the water – that’s not English – but it turns out you can’t. Your gut will tell you absolutely nothing, and you have no idea what you’re doing.”
