A previous contestant on The Traitors has shared the crucial tactic stars must use if they want to ensure victory on the upcoming celebrity edition of the show.
The BBC reality game show, which first aired in 2022, sees around 20 contestants retreat to a castle in the Scottish Highlands to compete for a cash prize, with some made Traitors, who try to secretly eliminate so-called Faithfuls.
Hosted by the universally beloved Claudia Winkleman, it quickly became the most talked-about programme on our screens - and a celebrity version is now set for release on BBC One later this year.
Huge stars like Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry are some of the 19 contestants in the highly-anticipated, star-studded version of the murder mystery game.
The cast were spotted by MailOnline touching down at Inverness Airport towards the end of last month for their stint at Ardross Castle, again presented by Claudia.
So, with filming seemingly underway, Diane Carson from the show's second series has shared her wisdom for would-be victors.

The former teacher famously took part alongside her son Ross - and in a cunning move, the two famously concealed being related from their fellow contestants.
She told the Sun her advice to the new celeb participants: 'They should park their career and just get on with playing the game. It's important to have fun.'
The 63-year-old, from Bangor, Co Down, has also hinted to the Mirror about a potential return to the beloved show - which she has said she would do differently this time round.
Diane said: 'I would play the game very differently the next time around. I'd be ready to get more involved.'
The incredible full line-up for the special Celebrity Traitors series was revealed last month by the Sun.
The stars who will transform into Traitors and Faithfuls include a variety of actors: Stephen Fry, Ruth Codd, Celia Imrie, Tameka Empson and Mark Bonnar.
Comedians Alan Carr, Nick Mohammed, Joe Wilkinson and Lucy Beaumont will also take part, joining singers Paloma Faith, Cat Burns and Charlotte Church.
Also confirmed for the show are presenters Jonathan Ross, Clare Balding and Kate Garraway, Olympic diver Tom Daley, rugby player Joe Marler, historian and writer David Olusoga and YouTuber Niko Omilana.

Missing from the confirmed line-up was actress and comedian Jennifer Saunders, who was heavily rumoured to be taking part.
Comedian Lucy became the last star to sign up for the show, following her shock split from fellow comedian Jon Richardson.
The award-winning funny woman, 40, is said to be keen to 'make more of a name for herself' with audiences.
A source told the Sun: 'Lucy is a massive fan of the show and is so excited about getting stuck in at Ardross Castle.
'After her split from Jon, she has been working really hard to make more of a name for herself and Celebrity Traitors is the ideal opportunity.'
The stern rules the first ever Celebrity Traitors cast are adhering to were revealed shortly after the line-up was announced - and the stars are not getting any special treatment.
Ahead of filming, the contestants were kept apart in a hotel ahead of filming - and had their phones taken away as a precaution.
A source told the Sun: 'The BBC aren't taking any chances with the contestants - even though they're household names.

'They are all holed up in a hotel together but they are being kept apart with a security guard on their floor at all times to make sure they're not swapping tactics or talking.'
They added: 'Some of them moaned about not having their phones but the BBC need to be sure they're not messaging or communicating on social media - so it's a total ban.'
Allegedly there is a production phone the cast can use to make a phone call home, while accompanied by a chaperone.
The BBC reportedly want this series to be the most 'explosive' ever, hence why they are being so strict and not taking any chances.
MailOnline previously contacted Lucy Beaumont's reps and the BBC for comment.
The Traitors airs on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
