With millions poised to watch the second Celebrity Traitors final tonight former star Joe Scott looks back on how the series has played out so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The series three Faithful and Southampton teacher spoke to BBC Radio Solent’s Katie Martin about his highlights and how it compared to last year’s season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He also shared his views on who the winner could be, as well as little things that could give away a contestant’s position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“What a series it’s been,” he said. “I can’t see how the Faithfuls can win, but you never know with this game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He said a series highlights was the first banishment of a Traitor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“Obviously Richard [E Grant] helped them with that massive slip up,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“I thought Maya [Jama] and James [Acaster] are just going to keep recruiting people to throw under the bus and that was going to be the gameplan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“But they decided not to do that, and I thought ‘interesting’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Scott said he found Jama to have been “the best Traitor” so far in the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“I do think she’s the most at risk,” he said. “I think they all know she’s a very switched on person so I think people might, as it gets to the very end, start questioning her over the other two.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The teacher also pointed out the contrast in her demeanour with previous season winner and Traitor Alan Carr. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“He was amazing. It’s just Alan being Alan, so I think they sort of believed it,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“I think they think when people are more nervous, ironically, they think it’s not because they’re a traitor. They’re just nervous in the game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“But I think Faithfuls get so nervous and stressed, whereas the Traitors are the ones that are a bit more cool, calm and collected.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Scott said that due to the growing popularity of the show, people “tripped up on the silliest things” as fans gained more insight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He said: “They said that to Leigh-Anne [Pinnock], she was like touching up her lip gloss and they were like ‘Why would she be doing that if she was going home?’, so it’s little things like that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He also said “shock” moments in the finale were “always fun” to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“That is the joy of the show – when people just genuinely have no idea, there’s always the ones they think are the Traitors,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

When it came to who would be the last one standing, Scott said he “really can’t call it”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“A betting person would have to say there’s three Traitors left, surely it’s going to go in their favour, but it’s difficult – the game can change at any moment,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“I’m team Traitor. I never used to be but I’ve just gone to the dark side and I’ve enjoyed the Traitors this year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Celebrity Traitors airs at 20:00 GMT on BBC One.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
