The Traitors has well and truly taken the world by storm. We’ve already had three series of the UK edition – there are also international series everywhere from Canada to the Czech Republic and the Netherlands to Norway, FYI – and each one had us GRIPPED.
In fact, the series has been so popular that the BBC has announced that a Celebrity Traitors has been announced for later this year and some huge celeb names have been tipped to take part.
Everyone from Stephen Fry and Alan Carr to Coleen Rooney and Courteney Cox have been linked to the show, but according to Traitors legend Jaz Singh, there’s another unlikely famous face who could appear alongside them.
We recently caught up with Jaz – aka Jazatha Christie – for a chinwag about all things Traitors and he let slip that he’s unexpectedly become good pals with a Hollywood A-lister who, just like us, loves the show.
Get this, Jaz is only besties with actual Spiderman. Or Andrew Garfield, as he’s usually known.
Recalling the moment he met Spidey, sorry, we mean Andrew, Jaz explained, ‘I was shooting a VT for This Morning, I was just about to jump on the train at Paddington to go to Torquay, where Agatha Christie was from, and I bumped into Andrew Garfield, Spider Man. He was wearing a hat. He'd got a beard. He looks up and he shouts my name in the middle of the station.
‘I'm just like, “Oh, hey, I’ll shake his hand, not knowing who he is,” and, lo and behold, he's a massive fan of the show. We were speaking for about half an hour. I won't give you the detail of what was actually discussed, even though I'd love to, but I'll probably take too much of your time. But anyway, to cut a long story short, he took my number. I’ve been messaging him about the new series which is wild.’
Jaz even went as far to tip Andrew to appear on the Celebrity Traitors, adding, ‘I could see him on Celebrity Traitors, you know. If he has gone on it and he's not told me, I'll be really upset.
‘He was, he was like, “Jaz, I wanted you to win. I really, I needed you to win,” and he goes, “It’s so weird that you're here now because I'm texting my boys about you.” It was just the wildest moment. He's actually, yeah, really humble, a really amazing guy.’
