Spoiler warning: This article contains details of the new series of The Traitors.

The first contestant to be banished from the fourth series of The Traitors has said she didn’t mind leaving – because her daughter remains in the castle.

Judy Wilson, 60, from Doncaster, took part in the game alongside her daughter Roxy.

She applied for the programme because she thought she “could do it” and told BBC Radio Sheffield she had enjoyed the experience.

“I was absolutely fine because my daughter is still in there and I am so proud of her,” she said.

Judy, who works in children’s services as a liaison officer, said she was used to being a nice person but found herself changing during The Traitors as she navigated the game.

“I feel like I did what I needed to do. Somebody’s got to go first.”

The remaining contestants have not discovered that Judy and Roxy are related. Roxy, 32, now lives in Amsterdam and works in recruitment. She was adopted as a young child.

Judy added: “I just wanted Roxy to shine and she is shining.

“She can hold her own, she’s a very strong lady and I’m just so proud of her.”

Judy, who lives in Bawtry, said she was happy to be cast as a Faithful because she was used to being nice in her work with children, but that the game “just gets you”.

“I’d have liked to have been a Traitor, yeah. But I think must people would.”

She was “just herself” in the castle and soon forgot about being constantly filmed.

“I was having fun and a really good time, enjoying every bit of the game,” she said.

“I’m sure that shows – obviously with me laughing half the time!

“But you do forget the cameras and just be yourself.

“Well, I was, but that’s just me!”

She said she hoped Roxy would make it to the end, but as her “second choice” she would like to see Rachel win.

She said the show was “put together incredibly” and after contestants leave, everything was very much still a secret and “locked down”.

“That’s the mystery of it,” she said.

“It’s such a good game.”
