Would YOU be a Traitor or a Faithful? Poll reveals which political party's voters are more likely to want to be Traitors - and there's a reason why

The decision whether to be a Faithful or a Traitor is a difficult one - and it could all come down to your political beliefs. 

Hit BBC show The Traitors is currently soaring through its third season, with players either being branded 'Faithful' or secret 'Traitors', who attempt to steal the prize money for themselves. 

In the show, the chosen Traitors meet each evening to decide which Faithful to 'murder' and therefore remove from the game. However, if the Traitors are too obvious, they risk being caught and banished themselves. 

At the start of each series, host Claudia Winkleman and the BBC team pick three chosen Traitors from the cast - but only from the people who have expressed a desire to be one.

However, new polling from More In Common has shown that your political opinions could, in fact, sway whether you are more likely to want to be part of the bigger team as a Faithful or take your own path as a Traitor. 

The poll reveals that Conservative Party voters would more likely want to be Traitors while Labour voters would rather be a Faithful. 

In addition, Reform voters were also more likely to pick to be a Traitor, with Liberal Democrats and members of the Green Party would also want to be Faithful. 

According to the poll, 39 per cent of 'Faithful' viewers would vote Labour and 24 per cent Conservative in a general election

On The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, Richard Osman said: 'If the general election were tomorrow, and the only people who were allowed to vote were those who would want to be a Faithful, we would have a Labour landslide.

'However, if it only included people who would rather be a Traitor, we would have a Tory landslide.

'That is an absolutely huge, statistically significant swing between people who’d rather be Faithful and a Traitor. But I would always rather be a Traitor.'

However his co-host Marina Hyde insisted that potential Labour voters didn't understand that the 'strongest' position in the game was to be a Traitor.  

Writing for the i Paper, Ed Hodgson, director of polling at More In Common, revealed why different political leanings could have a different impact on voting patterns. 

He said the results could be down to Traitors having a 'higher threat perception', which could reflect on their concerns about perceived 'threats' to the country, such as immigration. 

Famous Traitors that have been on the show include Harry Clark in season two, who ended up scooping the prize all on his own after faithful Mollie Pearce believed him to be one of her own. 

However, this year's fan-favourite Traitor Linda was banished last night after the Faithfuls grew suspicious.

Minah, 29, and Linda, 70, were the only two Traitors left in the competition after Armani was banished from the castle. 

But Linda received the most votes at the latest banishment, with the contestants going wild when she revealed herself as a Traitor. 

Reacting to her exit, one devastated fan wrote on social media platform X: 'Nooo what will we do without Linda'.

Other users posted 'mourning our queen Linda' and 'gutted that Linda has gone'.

She become a huge hit with viewers as she attempts to hoodwink the Faithfuls, but has slipped up one too many times.

After host Claudia Winkleman secretly chose her first three Traitors, Linda visibly reacted to the presenter when she said the title out loud.

It was a move noticed by several Faithfuls, and was soon brought up at the round table, leading others to question her loyalties.
