Charlie, 34, said she is “quite clearly Bristolian so I’ll bring my Bristolian accent” to the new series.
She said: “I am quite bubbly all of the time. I’m quite considerate and I think I’d be a great team player.
“I do like to counsel people as well. I think I would like to make everyone feel okay, but at the same time, I do love analysing people.
“People misjudge me a lot of the time because I’m a bit nuts and constantly jumping around and being a lunatic.
“I don’t know whether people realise how insightful I actually am and how much I pick up on things.”

Charlie said she applied to be on The Traitors because she was such a big fan of series one.
She said: “I love the game and it’s just a little bit of me, it literally is my personality.
“I like to analyse everything. Everywhere I go I’m constantly thinking, looking at people’s body language, trying to work people out. To the point that sometimes I have to switch off my brain!
“Obviously, the prize is great! I love the adrenaline too even though I’ll get nervous as you know anyone would.
“I loved the missions too, they were so cool. I loved the hay bale one. I hope they use the hay bales again!”

Mollie, 21, said that her game plan is to make as many friends as possible.
She said: “The more friends you have in there, the better. As I also work as a healthcare assistant, you do get close to people because you’re there for them and looking after them, but you have to be careful not to get too emotionally attached.
“I’m quite good at building that relationship but also separating myself in a way which I feel like will be really good in the game.
“You have to turn on people at some points, and that person could be your friend in there…
“I definitely think that I’m going to enjoy the missions. I’d love to push myself as much as possible.
“I’ve always watched game shows and thought ‘I could do that’ but when you get there, could you actually do it?
“I think I’m going to be okay with it, but there are going to be fears that come up that I’ve never even thought of before.”
If Mollie is a traitor, how does she think she will feel?
“I think it’s going to change things for me as I have thought of myself as more of a Faithful.
“I think you’ve just got to get into the game, get into the mindset that you’re still a Faithful until the evenings and when you meet up at night.
“I think your mindset, whether you get tapped on the shoulder or not, is to be a Faithful in the daytime.
“You’ve got to convince yourself that that is who you are, so that you can then convince other people.”
