Who is Francesca? Meet The Traitors season 3 contestant and interior designer
Will Francesca's fellow players underestimate her?
We may only be four episodes into The Traitors, but already so much has gone down! Whether it be between the Traitors in the turret, or around the roundtable, or even during the missions, there has been laughter, tears and plenty of lies.
One of the contestants who has certainly shed a few tears is Francesca, whose emotions took hold in last night's (8th January) roundtable when she voted to banish Freddie.
Thankfully for Freddie, he was saved as the majority voted for Kas, but some viewers couldn't help but wonder why the pair had such an emotional reaction...
As audiences theorise whether a mother and son could be in the Traitors castle once again, read on to find out more about Francesca as she avoids murder for another night.
Who is Francesca from The Traitors?
Age: 44
Job: Interior designer
Location: East Sussex
Status: Faithful
Francesca is a 44-year-old interior designer from East Sussex who over the years has become a "very good judge of character" after training as an actress before setting up her own interior design business without training.
"I've developed these skills through times of being a single mum, as well as having to work with large groups of people and deal with clients across the commercial, private and residential sector who vary quite a lot," Francesca explained.
She added: "I think sometimes people think I'm a ditzy blonde, and that I just make things look pretty. But what I do involves a lot of engineering and architecture. Sometimes people assume I’m one thing but actually there are different layers, and I like to surprise people."
Why did Francesca apply for The Traitors?
Francesca applied for The Traitors after she watched season 2 and thought she could do it and be good.
She continued: "I've got four sons, and I think they just see me as mum, and that I do interior design - I don't think they even realise what that involves. I believe they literally think I just plump cushions and hang some curtains.
"I also entered the competition on a personal level, which was [that] I really wanted to challenge myself. I suppose part of me wants to show my sons that anything's possible."
