The Traitors star Amanda Lovett has quit the day job.

“It’s taken me in a totally different direction. I’m not an estate agent any more.”
The loveable Welsh star quickly became a fan-favourite on the show, when she was picked as one of the three original Traitors.
She was eventually backstabbed by fellow Traitor Wilfred Webster, though his plan backfired and he was exposed in the finale.

But speaking to Daily Star, Amanda admitted she’d been “glad” to have been eliminated, as she “couldn’t have done it” if she’d managed to deceive her new friends.
She told us: “I enjoyed the game, the facade, but when you start getting emotionally tied – people are really hurting in there – it’s difficult then.
“Everybody’s our 100%, everyone was my 100% because I knew they were Faithful. So for a Traitor to go all the way and take the money, well, I couldn’t have done it, my mother would have shot me from up in heaven, like, ‘I haven’t brought you. up to be like that!'”

Amanda’s scheming and one-liners made her a firm favourite among fans, especially the LGBT community.
She laughed: “I’m a gay icon!
“I’ve got two members of the gay community who work with me and I asked them, ‘Boys, what is the ‘gay icon’? Is it good?’
“They said, ‘Of course it’s good, you’re a queen, you’re a strong woman!’
“I said, ‘Oh I’m taking that, I’m embracing that! Get me a crown!’
“I love that people are loving me and I love that we’ve made good TV for people to enjoy.”
