The Traitors star Reece Ward has spoken out about his stint on the BBC show – on his first interview, the lad admitted he didn’t play the game well enough
Reece Ward has admitted he had no strategy on The Traitors. The sweet shop assistant was wrongly accused multiple times before he was finally murdered in last night’s show.
He said: “It actually dawned on me on the first night that, ‘I’m here but I don’t have a plan, and I don’t know what I’m doing’. I was thrown in the deep end and didn’t know how to swim. I think that probably is down to the fact that I wanted to be myself. I didn’t want to go in there and have this extravagant plan of lying or exaggerating or hiding. I just wanted to be me and see how far that got me.”
Reece struggled with the pressure in the TV castle. He added: “I didn’t anticipate the pressure on your shoulders of being a Faithful.
“I thought to myself, ‘Well, I don’t have to lie’. But I didn’t think about being accused and having no way around it because my only defence as a Faithful was to say, ‘I’ve not done that’.”
Reece admits he didn’t do a good enough job as fighting for survival at the round table.
He said: “I can be very defensive, so when people pointed a finger at me, if it’s something that I haven’t done, I’ve always said; ‘I don’t need to prove it to you, because I’ve just not done it!’.
“I’m not over proving anything and I’m never going to bend my back for something that’s not worth it if I know I’m innocent.
“So, when people were almost pushing the dagger in and asking and asking, I probably rolled over a little too quickly.”
The Traitors continues on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
