The Traitors star used ghosthunting skills in TV castle

The Traitors star Adam Waughman has a theory about why he lasted as long as he did in the TV castle and it involves his ability to speak to spirits

Adam Waughman reckons being a ghosthunter helped him on The Traitors. The builder, who was murdered in tonight’s episode, said: “You have to get people to trust you in the game and that’s the same with spirits.

“A spirit has to trust you before it opens up, so some of the skills did help. When I go out and hunt, you have to understand the environment and have patience. A lot of it was being street smart like being able to read people and understand what they’re thinking before they’re thinking it.”

Adam is also convinced his demeanour helped him last as long as he did. The contestant thinks he is difficult to read.

He said: “Loads of mediums in the past have tried to read me and they can’t read me.

“I’ve got one of those personalities where you don’t know whether I’m joking, so I knew that was going to help.

“I obviously didn’t want people to know and suss me out, so I sort of flew under the radar.”

Despite losing out on the chance to win the prize money, Adam insists he is happy to be off the show.

He said: “I feel like I was done at that particular time. I didn’t get any heat, really, but it was so exhausting trying to understand and read people and every little movement.

“To be honest, I was in my own little world most of the time and people maybe thought I wasn’t getting very much but it was all going in.”

He added: “It was a great experience, and I actually loved every minute of it. It was a fantastic time.”
