Derry Girls star and TV presenter Siobhán McSweeney has been unveiled as the host of The Traitors Ireland
Following in the footsteps of its award-winning adaptations in the UK, US, and the Netherlands, the Irish version of the gripping reality series will feature contestants from across the country, filmed on location in Ireland. A nationwide casting call earlier this year brought together a diverse group of players for the ultimate test of trust and betrayal.
Sharing her excitement about the role, McSweeney said: "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."
Produced by Kite Entertainment, the psychological reality competition challenges 22 strangers to navigate a castle-based game of strategy, trust, and betrayal. With €50,000 at stake, contestants face daily Missions to grow the prize pot, all while rooting out the covert Traitors intent on eliminating them one by one.
Survivors who make it to the finale will have the chance to claim the prize, but if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll walk away with the money.
