Is Clare Balding still on Celebrity Traitors?
One of the faithfuls in the Traitors Castle, Clare Balding has avoided catching the attention of The Traitors just yet. She has also not come under suspicion at the roundtable.
What has Clare said about being on the show?
Clare declared: “I just don't think I'd be a very good Traitor!” She added: “I love the show. Yes, I really find it fascinating; the way group thinking can be influenced. I don't know whether I can resist that or whether I can influence that and I'm kind of interested in it from a psychological perspective.
“Also, I really want to see the castle, I want to see the grounds and I want to meet the peacocks. Genuinely, I think it's a fascinating programme and it’s like nothing else.”
She said: “I think if I have a strategy, I’d be looking at the people like Harry and like Leanne, who'd been very successful and Charlotte, who could have won the whole thing. My strategy would be to try and keep myself under the radar. Do not be the loudest person in any situation.”
