As the series gets under way, read on for everything you need to know about Freddie.

Who is Freddie Fraser from The Traitors?

Age: 20

Job: Politics student

Location: Peterborough

Status: Faithful

Freddie is a 20-year-old politics student from Peterborough whose competitive and driven mindset might help him in the castle.

Having studied politics for A-Level and now at university level, Freddie believes he is "quite good" at articulating his points, bringing evidence and being able to hold himself in arguments, which should prove beneficial in the castle.

Reflecting on past seasons, Freddie revealed he admired Harry's game plan from season 2.

"Just because we're quite a similar age and obviously he won," Freddie explained. "I liked the way he played into the idea that you would never think it was him because he's just a nice boy, who's young, so people underestimated him.

"I also liked the Australian series 2 with Sam, the way he just got away with it, time after time is crazy, he was such a character."

Are Freddie and Francesca from The Traitors related? Fan theories explained

During a roundtable moment, Francesca voted for Freddie, believing he was a Traitor, and immediately burst into tears as she did so, which prompted Freddie to also begin crying.

As Freddie was saved, he and Francesca shared a hug in the castle and he reflected that Francesca has been like a mum to him in the castle. Francesca also shared in an interview with the BBC that she has four sons... could Freddie be one of them?

Fans on social media have been sharing their suspicions that they believe another mother and son duo are in the castle and this time, they think it is Freddie and Francesca.

Well, no one could know for sure unless the pair address it. However, based on Francesca living in East Sussex and Freddie in Peterborough, they may not be related.

Why did Freddie apply for The Traitors?

Freddie was already a big fan of The Traitors, and after watching the two UK seasons and one of the Australian version, he decided to apply.

He explained further: "I just think it's such an interesting concept for a game, it's very strategic and psychological, and it’s all about using your brain.

"I think I’ve got a skill set that makes me suited to being quite good at the game and I thought why not just give it a go and apply, and here we are."
