I have a working theory that whenever an actor signs up for a crime drama (as of last year) on BBC iPlayer, they automatically get offered a spot on The Celebrity Traitors.

Think of the fact that every series of Strictly Come Dancing has one contestant from EastEnders and Gladiators alike — almost like TV channel conscription. Now that The Traitors has been renewed until 2030, maybe it will even be added to people's contracts.

If I dare to dream even further, there will be crossover episodes. If a Traitors contestant goes down well enough with fans, their shiny new media career takes off. So what's to say an acting role or two won't come their way?

One show I think they'd be right at home in is Beyond Paradise, and luckily for me, even the cast agrees.

'Nobody's asked us to be on, but I'm absolutely obsessed with it'

"They haven't asked us to do it, but have a word with them... I'd love to," star Zahra Ahmadi tells me.

"I'm absolutely obsessed with The Traitors. When we got nominated for best new drama at the National Television Awards after the first season of Traitors had not long been on, we were walking down the red carpet, got to the end, and saw Wilf. I seem to get really star-struck by reality stars more than anyone else, and freaked out to our producer.

"If I could have anyone on as a guest star, maybe Stephen and Rachel. Or Harriet. She'd be amazing. Oh God, I'd be terrified of her!"
