Celebrity Traitors star Nick Mohammed reveals how to 'trick' a Traitor to actually win the game

Nick loved his time on the show

Celebrity Traitors star Nick Mohammed has reflected on his “overwhelming” experience on the hit show – and shared his secret to making it all the way to the final.

Fans were gripped for weeks as the celebrity spin-off kept everyone guessing over who would outsmart who. In the end, it was Alan Carr who pulled off the ultimate bluff, convincing almost everyone he was a Faithful and walking away with the win.

Now that the dust has settled, finalist Nick has opened up about the intense experience during an appearance on This Morning. While he described the show as unforgettable, he also admitted he wouldn’t sign up again – even though the series has officially been renewed for another season.

Nick Mohammed on ‘game plan’ to get to the final

Speaking to hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, Nick revealed he had a wonderful time on the show. But that there is a way to make it easier for a Faithful to get to the final.

When asked if he had a game plan going in, Nick explained that it is difficult because you have to be ready to “adapt” immediately.

He explained: “You can try to have a game plan. The only thing I did swear by was one, that you can’t win on your own as a Faithful. So, you have to be prepared to be sacrificed – either yourself or other Faithfuls. That is just the name of the game.

“But also, you don’t need to get Traitors out until the end. Because you don’t win at that point. You only win at the end. So, actually, to ally yourself with a Traitor, if you really believe that’s what they are. If you make them believe you think they are a Faithful. I think that was quite a useful thing to do.”

As for whether or not that’s what he done in the show, he admitted he did do it – twice.

Nick added: “I did do that with Jonathan [Ross]. And with Cat [Burns], to a degree. But obviously I got it wrong with Joe [Marler].”

In the show, Nick shockingly turned against Joe Marler, who he had struck somewhat of a bromance with, as he ultimately believed that Alan was telling the truth.

But now that the show is over, Nick has admitted he wouldn’t go back and do it again for one specific reason.

Would Nick do Celebrity Traitors again?

Despite having an amazing time on the show, Nick has admitted he wouldn’t sign up for it again – but not for any bad reason.

He explained that the experience was so special, he wouldn’t want to risk spoiling those memories by doing it a second time. Nick also confessed that he’s never really been a huge fan of reality TV in general, making his one-off adventure all the more meaningful.

He told Ben and Cat: “I wouldn’t do it again. But not because I didn’t enjoy it. Only because I had such a pure experience. And I think because I obviously made it through to the end, I don’t think I could top it.

“I adored it. And I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the show to do it. But no, I’m done. I never wanted to do reality TV anyway, but I always loved that show so much, I couldn’t say no.”
