The Traitors kicked off on Sunday night, and a brand new batch of players descended on Slane Castle.
While we’ve only just met the contestants, fans have already picked their favourites.
Fionula Linehan certainly made an impression on Sunday night.
She, along with Carla and Páraic K, were picked as the first trio of Traitors.

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that they recognised Fionula from her stint on TV before heading on the reality show.
She revealed to the audience that she was an actor, although she has hidden that part of her life from her fellow contestants, saying she’s simply a drama teacher.
However, The Young Offenders fans may recognise her as she appeared in The Young Offenders, the movie and the TV show.
Pizza and a drink and you will keep Fionula onside, just ask Billy Murphy.#TraitorsIRL pic.twitter.com/5pLOSNHyTs

She was credited as DIY Cashier in the 2016 movie. She then went on to appear in two episodes across the show as Woman on Bus and Neighbour #1.
Now clips of the show have been going viral on social media as fans recall seeing her in the Cork staple.
Do you think her fellow contestants recognise her from the show?
