Who is James? Meet The Traitors season 4 contestant and gardener
James has already won the competition for best side burns this season.
A new season of The Traitors is back to help us get through the last of the colder months, with 22 fresh faced players entering the Scottish castle once again for the ultimate game of trust and betrayal.
Among them is James, who describes himself as being extremely competitive and was absolutely desperate to be a Traitor.
"I would absolutely adore being a Traitor. The show's called The Traitors, not The Faithfuls!," he declared.
Unfortunately he was not picked as Traitor in last night's first episode but James is not deterred as he has a game plane to entice the Traitors into letting him join their ranks.
As The Traitors gets underway, 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."
