It seems like every time The Traitors introduces us to a brand new iconic hun every time it returns to our screens. There was Amanda Lovett on series one, Diane Carson and her fizzy rosé on series two and series three has bestowed upon us the absolute legend that is Linda Rands.
We’re just going to say it: Linda is not a good Traitor, like at all, but – frankly – that’s what makes her so entertaining.
Although she has all the subtlety of a lead balloon and has faced suspicion from the Faithfuls multiple times (not that she’s seemed to notice), Linda is still going strong, for now, at least, and her over-the-top reactions and legendary one-liners have earned her a place in the Traitors hall of fame.
Here’s everything you need to know about her…
Who is Linda from The Traitors?
Linda Rands rose to fame at the start of 2025 as one of the Traitors on, well, The Traitors. Alongside Minah Shannon and Armani Gouveia, she was tasked with deceiving the other contestants and making it to the end while killing off the Faithfuls.

What is Linda from The Traitors' job?
Linda is a retired opera singer. A video that appears to show her singing in a 1982 production of the opera Rigoletto in London recently resurfaced online.
Why did Linda apply for The Traitors?
Linda previously revealed she applied for the show in a 'mad moment.' She explained, 'I watched the two series, and I thought, do you know what? I think I could do that. And 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.'
How would Linda spend the prize money if she won The Traitors?
According to Linda, she'd pay off her sister's mortgage and throw a huge party if she won the prize money. Both of those sound like pretty good options.
Linda said, 'I’d like to do something similar to how I celebrated my 70th birthday – I took my family to a mansion house for a weekend and we had a private chef and it was really fabulous. So, I’d like to do something else like that and then after that I’d take all my friends on a really great holiday.'
