Janette Manrara on 'Traitors' game
Janette Manrara has revealed the Strictly Come Dancing cast have embarked on their own all-star version of hit reality show The Traitors. The 40-year-old took to social media to share a behind the scenes glimpse of the game.
Since series two of the reality game show kicked off on the BBC this year, it has got the nation talking. Strictly host Claudia Winkleman presents the hit programme, which sees a group of players take part in physical and mental challenges in order win a prize pot of up to £120,000.
However, the lucky winner is amongst a group of elusive Traitors and Faithfuls. With the two groups colluding, the Faithfuls try to identify and vote off the Traitors in order to be crowned the winner.
It Takes Two host Janette posted a story to her 620,000 Instagram followers and could not contain her excitement. In her dressing room on the Strictly Live Tour, she said: “This is too exciting to not document.
“Neil Jones has decided to create a long term game of The Traitors on tour. And last night, the Traitors found out who they were. Today we have our first round table on the bus trip to Glasgow”.
Despite nobody getting kicked off, the professional dancer revealed “there was a shield discovered by somebody”.
“So he’s [Neil] leaving shields through riddles and stuff,” Janette explained.
“But I thought I’d keep you updated with how things are going over here, with the Faithfuls and Traitors".
The 2024 tour features the likes of Strictly's 2023 winner Ellie Leach, along with finalists Bobby Brazier and Layton Williams.
With the star-studded line up all taking part in the game, Janette said they have a plan to keep it going.
Janette divulged: “We’re gonna keep the game going throughout the whole tour!
“This is honestly the most excited I have been about a game, ever!"

Janette, who is hosting the Strictly tour, said the entire team were "not just having fun on stage dancing, but behind-the-scenes as well”.
Giving her fans exclusive access, she then filmed her co-stars, who were preparing for the show on Thursday evening.
She went up to a string of dancers and quizzed them about their roles in the game.
It comes after a source claimed to The Sun: “Bobby and Ellie are the talk of the tour. Their friendship has grown and grown.
“And they've been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances.
"They've been having their meals together, and flirting increasingly openly."
