WALKING into The Traitors castle, you can't help but feel nervous of what's to come.

I'm with only fellow journalists and no one is actually being murdered or winning any money - but it still feels like we're in massive competition with each other.

So much so that one of them will soon be pointing the finger of accusation squarely at me.

Before the daggers are drawn, it's hard not to feel excited by the fact just days earlier the likes of Stephen Fry, Clare Balding, Jonathan Ross and Kate Garraway were eating, chatting and round-tabling where we are now with two peacocks watching every move they made.

On arrival we were ushered into the beautifully decorated breakfast hall, so familiar to viewers of The Traitors as the regular setting for the who-has-been-murdered moment.

The lives of executive producers Mike Cotton and Sarah Fay have been taken over by this huge show. So how was it making the psychologically intense game with stars?
