The Traitors is drawing to a close, and BBC viewers are eagerly awaiting the revelation of whether Minah and Charlotte have managed to stay under the radar as traitors.
However, it seems that the players suspicions are shifting towards other characters, with Alexander and Frankie’s names cropping up in recent episodes.
Alexander joined the show later on, after selflessly giving up his spot in a shocking twist in the first episode. Since being saved during a mission with Fozia, he has quickly won over the hearts of BBC viewers.
As the finale looms, we delve into Alexander’s life, exploring everything from a tragic loss, his love life, and his intriguing profession.
Love life
Since his arrival at the castle, the 38-year-old has been a hit with BBC viewers. However, his relationship status remained a mystery until recently, reports Lancs Live.
During a humorous trial, host Claudia Winkleman revealed that the contestant was single. The challenge involved one team searching for dolls in a dollhouse and reciting nursery rhymes backwards, while those in the castle had to decipher the song.
Finding the situation amusing, Claudia turned to the camera and announced: “Can I just say to anybody who is watching, Alexander is single.”
Job role
Before joining the game in the castle, the 38-year-old former British diplomat felt his background would be an advantage. Ahead of his entry, the BBC personality remarked: “I’ve lived around the world, working with everyone from victims of attacks or natural disasters, local tribes, schoolchildren, politicians and briefly royalty.
“I’m meant to build relationships for a living, so I’d like to think I have a good radar for who I can trust! Either way, I’m looking forward to meeting some people with interesting backgrounds in the castle.”
While Alexander’s current profession remains a mystery, his Instagram chronicles his jet-setting lifestyle, featuring stops in glamourous destinations such as Mexico, New Orleans, Vancouver and Paris.
His fivfive-yeare year tenure as a carer at The Royal Mencap Society charity is also notable, a place that provided respite for his family and where his brother used to attend.
Heartbreaking loss
The BBC star recently shared a personal story of bereavement on a poignant episode, discussing his brother’s death. This intimate moment came as Alexander disclosed his charitable intentions if he were victorious.
After Leon’s departure, at a dinner gathering, Alexander emotionally declared: “I would like to give some money to a charity that I really care about.
“My brother had special needs and used to go to a summer camp. I’d love to put some money their way to keep it going because it gives parents a break.”
The Traitors star opened up about his brother, who had a global developmental delay, during a BBC interview. Alexander explained: “It just meant that he was younger than his age and autism. He was 17 when he died, I was 24. He looked up to me and thought I was great, I miss that a lot.”
Alexander commended his parents for their exceptional care of his brother. The BBC actor further stated: “For them to get a break, for even a week.
“A year, looking after someone with special needs, can be a challenging job. I thought it was just a brilliant thing for my brother and a brilliant thing for my family. I’d love to keep that kind of thing going.”
The Traitors is available to watch Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One from 9pm.
