James has already won the competition for best side burns this season.
**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4**
Suspicions are at an all time high in The Traitors castle, especially around James, who couldn't be more Faithful if he tried.
The penultimate roundtable ended in a deadlock between Rachel and James, and despite pleas from both players, the votes remained tied and viewers were left on a cliffhanger.
Will James make it to the final five?
As we wait to find out, read on for everything you need to know about season 4 contestant James.
Who is James from The Traitors?
Age: 38
Job: Gardener
Location: Weymouth
James is a 28-year-old gardener from Weymouth who describes himself as a "bouncy Duracell bunny" thanks to his ADHD.
Outside of gardening, James is also a musician, releasing instrumental guitar pieces and has played live to crowds, experience he thinks will set him up well for working his fellow casemates and keeping the energy up in the castle.
Why did James apply for The Traitors?
James has experience playing poker where he earned himself the nickname "The Librarian" thanks to his innate ability to read people.
"I love the show, but I didn't start watching The Traitors until the second series because people nagged me. I used to play a lot of poker, and it has similarities, especially the Round Table," he explained.
"I have a desire to play the game well. Not in an arrogant way, but in a confident way, I think I could do this. So, I’m here with a passion for the game and sort of geeky vibes, I think that’s what drew me to it. It’s like a beautiful lovechild of Midsomer Murders and poker."
