00:00Hello folks, it's me, Phil Mayne, and original cast member of that smash hit reality TV show which graced our screens two years ago.
00:07Yes, I'm talking about BBC The Traitors. I mean, it's iconic and if you've not watched it or you don't know what it is, then get from under the rug.
00:15It's literally everywhere, like everywhere. So I'm going to answer three quick questions and yeah, that's it.
00:24So first question is, what was your experience like on the show? So my experience on the show was literally eye-opening.
00:32I was a fateful on my season, so I didn't have to lie or anything and I wasn't going to lie in the first place.
00:37I didn't have a game plan. I was just going to go in there and be authentically myself.
00:40My mum said to me before I went into the castle, before I went off to Inverness, she literally said, be yourself and have a good time.
00:47So I kept that in words and resonated with them. I just was myself.
00:51I wore my heart on my sleeve. What you see is what you get with me.
00:54I'm very emotional. I was very emotional and I practically came out as gay again on national TV,
00:59which was beautiful and I did nine episodes out of 12.
01:02I was nearly to that final, but the universe struck and it wasn't my time.
01:08So let's move on to question two. What do you think of season three?
01:13I mean, season three, chaos.
01:18It's absolute chaos. They've definitely elevated the game.
01:23It's escalated to a different, it's evolved to a different place now.
01:27I mean, the people, the contestants that are in it are definitely more self-centred, more focused about themselves,
01:31whereas it's when we were on it, very much a team sport.
01:35I think it's an incredible show. I think it's grossed like nearly 10 million views already.
01:41It is on everybody's minds. It's a fantastic show. My favourites are Mina and Freddie.
01:47I want them to win. Unfortunately, Mina's gone, so she can't win anymore.
01:51But Freddie, he's still in there. Hopefully. Spoiler, sorry.
01:54Final question is, would I change anything?
01:56I wouldn't change anything because I know I was authentically myself in the castle.
02:01I'm grateful for the opportunity that it's given me outside.
02:05I've been able to follow my dreams and go for gold and do stuff that I love, which is very magical.
02:11And.
