The Traitors star Wilf Webster addresses return rumours

The Traitors star Wilf Webster has revealed whether or not he'd be open to returning to the show in the future.

The reality TV star was the last standing Traitor in season one of the BBC series, just missing out on the prize fund after Faithfuls Aaron, Hannah and Meryl correctly identified him as the Traitor.

Ahead of the upcoming second series, Wilf sat down for an exclusive interview with Digital Spy where he shared his change of heart at a possible show return.

"At first, when I came out and watched it, everyone kept asking would you go in again and I was like 'No, never,'" he tells us. "But the more I've had time to digest it and enjoy it and rewatch it, I'm like, 'Do you know what, it was a really great experience and really fun.'

"I'd love to have a chance to actually win this time, so you never know, maybe one day."

Whilst Wilf acknowledges he always wanted "to be a Traitor from the beginning", he's up for a role change if he were to enter the show again.

"I think if I was to go and do it again, I'd want to be a Faithful to try it," he says. "When you think about it, when we got tapped on the shoulder, we had to go a whole day not knowing who the other Traitors were, so I felt like a Faithful at that time, trying to figure out who the other Traitors could be.

"I wasn't very good at it," he jokes. "I didn't expect Amanda or Alyssa at all.

"I think as a Faithful, I would have done okay but they have to deal with a lot more anxiety than us. We have to deal with guilt, they have to deal with more anxiety – that's where I feel it balances it out."

Whilst a show return remains to be confirmed, Wilf was adamant that he'll be watching the new series – and he doesn't have to wait long, with The Traitors UK season two arriving on screens in the New Year.

The Traitors season 1 and the US version are available to stream on BBC iPlayer now. Season 2 of the UK version will air on January 3, 2024.
