A former star of the BBC series The Traitors, Jaz Singh, has suggested that a Hollywood A-lister could be an ideal candidate for a potential celebrity special.
In an exclusive conversation, Jaz named an Oscar-nominated Marvel actor who might be interested in an All-Star edition following a chance encounter.
Jaz was a contestant on the second series of the popular reality game show and made it to the final. Despite losing the cash prize to Harry, the eventual winner and Traitor, he earned the nickname ‘Jazatha Christie’ for his knack for identifying potential Traitors.
Speaking on behalf of SlotsCalendar, Jaz explained that the way he exited the show means he would ‘one million per cent’ consider returning to the series in the future to set things right. He also suggested that Andrew Garfield would be an excellent participant in a star-studded version of the show after they met at a train station.
Jaz has confessed his eagerness to switch things up in the game, expressing: “I think Jazatha Christie needs to go back in that castle to avenge himself, if I’m honest, it is calling me. Maybe one day, we will see that. I think because of how much I wanted to be a Traitor.
“Last time when I was chosen, it was the stars aligned themselves for me to be a Faithful. I think being a Traitor would be the only way because I just like to be in control of the game. It’s such an easier role if I’m honest with you. You’re in control, you don’t even have to be lied to, which is the best part of it.”
When asked about his ideal celebrity opponent in the castle, Jaz didn’t hesitate to name a show enthusiast he’s befriended following an unexpected encounter. This came after he met Andrew Garfield, who recently appeared in the romantic comedy We Live In Time alongside Florence Pugh, reports Wales Online.
Recounting the memorable meeting, Jaz shared: “I was doing a VT for This Morning for the Agatha Christie piece on ITV. In that I had to go from Paddington to Torquay. So I’m at Paddington station and I bump into Andrew Garfield – Spider-Man!
“He literally looked at me, shouted my name there in the station. I shook his hand, not realising who he was at first until I looked at him properly and I was just blown away.”
“He knew who I was, he was a massive fan of the show and he said, you know, Jaz, I really wanted you to win and it’s so weird that we’re bumping into into each other like this because I’m texting my mates about you right now, and he showed me his messages. So, he took my number. We’ve been talking about the new show so it’s just one experience like that. I’d love to play with him.”
The Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
