Who is Francesca? Meet The Traitors season 3 contestant and interior designer
How will the Seer react?
**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 3**
Francesca's role in The Traitors season 3 has changed dramatically, as she was chosen to become the Seer after banking the most money in the latest mission.
As the Seer, Francesca had the power to invite one player to a private face-to-face meeting, and the chosen player had no choice but to reveal their status in the game.
Francesca chose Charlotte, in a bid to solidify that she was a Faithful, but she couldn't have been more wrong. With the fallout expected to air on tonight's episode, will Francesca leave the game unscathed?
As audiences wait to see how Francesca's journey plays out in the rest of the game, read on to find out more about Francesca as she plays a key role in the finale.
Who is Francesca from The Traitors?
Age: 44
Job: Interior designer
Location: East Sussex
Status: Faithful
Francesca is a 44-year-old interior designer from East Sussex who over the years has become a "very good judge of character" after training as an actress before setting up her own interior design business without training.
"I've developed these skills through times of being a single mum, as well as having to work with large groups of people and deal with clients across the commercial, private and residential sector who vary quite a lot," Francesca explained.
She added: "I think sometimes people think I'm a ditzy blonde, and that I just make things look pretty. But what I do involves a lot of engineering and architecture. Sometimes people assume I’m one thing but actually there are different layers, and I like to surprise people."
Why did Francesca apply for The Traitors?
Francesca applied for The Traitors after she watched season 2 and thought she could do it and be good.
She continued: "I've got four sons, and I think they just see me as mum, and that I do interior design - I don't think they even realise what that involves. I believe they literally think I just plump cushions and hang some curtains.
"I also entered the competition on a personal level, which was [that] I really wanted to challenge myself. I suppose part of me wants to show my sons that anything's possible."
