Body language expert Inbaal Honigman has broken down the dead giveaways that Traitors should avoid exhibiting so that they can fly under the radar.
A good Traitor has to lie for a living and their stress levels will heighten as the series continues, so here's a checklist of everything they need to keep under wraps to keep themselves in check. With the new celebrity series about to kick off in just days, there are a few signs that some might do better than others.
Darting and avoidant eyes
Feeling vulnerable means they'll want to keep an eye on everyone and everything all the time, but this can give the game away, so they'll need to keep their physical movements small and discreet. They must be careful not to turn their head sharply in every direction as rapid, darting eye movements in group situations could signal that nerves have taken over.
The Traitors have to know everything but give away nothing. They might stare at the others and flick their eyes away when caught staring. This swift action could help smoke out the Traitors in a 1:1 situation.
Mouth and sweat signs
Lip licking and a darting tongue are caused by the dry mouth associated with stress. Compressed lips are the mark of someone who holds secrets and a hoarse throat is a sure fire sign of a liar as their throat becomes parched with anxiety.
Tension makes a Traitor feel hot. A sweaty brow, reddish cheeks and wet patches under the arms could help the Faithfuls spot the Traitor in their midst.
Trips and falls
As the Traitor has friendships, challenges and gameplay on their mind, so a stressed betrayer may bite their lip during breakfast, miss the armchair when sitting down or stumble down the stairs.
