We had been waiting eagerly to find out who would be hosting The Traitors Ireland.
Rumours had swirled as to who would step into the role that has been made famous by Claudia Winkleman in the UK.
Now we know who will be leading the Irish version and we won’t be disappointed.
RTÉ has announced the actor and presenter, Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney as the host of The Traitors Ireland.
The Traitors Ireland will be shot on location in Ireland and will feature contestants from all around the country, following a national casting call for applications earlier this year.
Siobhán commented: “Like everyone, I am a huge Traitors fan so when I was asked to host the Irish version I jumped at the chance. I’m looking forward to meeting our loyal Faithful and delicious Traitors.
“The Irish have a charm and ability to deceive while smiling which will make this version rather special, I think. And I’m the luckiest person in the world to watch them close up.”
The synopsis for the series reads: “The nail-biting psychological reality competition sees 22 strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust… all in the hope of winning up to €50,000. But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It’s up to the others, the Faithfuls, to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim.
“Each day, the group embark on Missions as they work together to add more money to the prize pot. For the lucky ones who survive to the end, they have the chance of winning that life-changing cash, but if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll steal all the money.”
The Traitors Ireland will air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player in 2025.
