Yorkshire residents who think they can spot a liar – or keep a secret themselves – are being invited to apply for The Traitors.

Applications are open for a future series of the BBC competition, with people from across the region encouraged to put themselves forward.

Described by producers as a “game of trust and treachery”, the show sees contestants work together on missions to build a prize pot.

But hidden among them are the Traitors, who secretly choose which of their fellow players to eliminate.

The remaining contestants, known as the Faithfuls, must work out who is deceiving them and banish the Traitors before the game ends.

For the Traitors, the challenge is to avoid suspicion and remain undetected.

A spokesperson for the hit BBC show saidf

"Is it your turn to enter the castle? We're thrilled to announce that casting is now open for series six of The Traitors!

"Head to bbc.co.uk/takepart to apply and you could find yourself sitting at the Round Table."

Applicants must be over 18 and have the legal right to reside in the UK.

Anyone interested can find out more and apply through the BBC’s Take Part website.
