An English teacher from Southampton has been working hard to find out who is hiding their true identity in the BBC series Traitors.

Presented by Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman, the reality show is back for its third season at Ardross Castle in Scotland.

The first two episodes of the show have now aired and viewers have got a chance to learn a little more about 37-year-old Southampton teacher – Joe.

In his one to one interview with Claudia, Joe described himself as ‘100 percent faithful’ but added he had ‘already met a few contestants he would have no problem killing.’

The episode also sees Joe become embroiled in an important conversation with 28-year-old project manager Jake who has suspicions about Linda.

With the group spending their first night at Ardross Castle, each member coming down to breakfast slowly begins to reveal who the traitors have decided to send home.

Here Joe becomes wary of other contestants who seem shaken up by the experience.

In his interview he added: “They all looked nervous. Why are you nervous? I’m getting breakfast and I’m still alive!”

In the aftermath of the reveal Joe tells others that he had suspicions Yin was a traitor, which of course she wasn’t.

At the start of episode two, faithful Nathan is given the boot by the group – with Southampton’s Joe also stating he felt Nathan was a traitor.

The second episode saw Joe get much less screen time but this is sure to change as the cohort of contestants grows smaller
