Who is Linda? Meet The Traitors season 3 contestant and retired opera singer
Will Linda manage to remain undetected by the Faithfuls?
Linda has proven to be an icon on The Traitors season 3, whether it be from immediately looking at host Claudia Winkleman when she addressed the Traitors, bursting into tears at Livi's departure or telling Anna she doesn't have to be a sailor to know how to tie a rope – the moments are endless.
While Linda has raised a few eyebrows of suspicion among the Faithful, she has so far managed to avoid being banished from the roundtable. And while her dramatic performances haven't earned her any brownie points with her co-workers, they certainly have with members of the public.
Linda was recently spotted on a billboard in Leicester Square as she scooped an award for the performance of a lifetime. We can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve.
As Linda continues her journey in The Traitors game, attempting to remain undetected, read on for everything you need to know about her – including why of all shows she decided to apply for The Traitors!
Who is Linda from The Traitors?
Age: 70
Job: Retired opera singer
Location: Hertfordshire
Status: Traitor
Linda is a 70-year-old retired opera singer from Hertfordshire who Claudia chose to be a Traitor alongside Armani and Minah.
Linda is hoping that with her age, she will bring a lot more experience to the game, along with being "quite good at convincing people of things that aren't true".
"I think I've got quite a funny personality, so I'll bring a bit of fun," she said in a new interview. "Sometimes I can be a bit of an airhead too, so I might try and use that to my advantage."
Why did Linda apply for The Traitors?
After watching season 1 and 2, the latter of which saw Harry Clark take home a whopping cash prize, Linda thought to herself that she could do the game.
She explained: "It was in a mad moment that I looked it up on the internet and saw there was a form to apply, and I thought, 'I'm just going to apply, let's just see', never knowing that it would go this far.
"So yes, I love the show. I'm absolutely into it. I love the psychological game. I like the whole idea of fooling people."
