Edinburgh contestants needed for new BBC series by the makers of Gogglebox

The makers of Gogglebox are on the hunt for Edinburgh cast members for their brand new show.

Studio Lambert, the team behind the popular Channel 4 show, as well as Race Across the World and The Circle, are scouring the nation to find new and exciting members of the public to feature in their new show, The Traitors.

The team are looking for a "diverse range of people from all backgrounds" for their exciting new reality competition for BBC One.

Studio Lambert have provided a description of their new creation, saying: "The Traitors is a competition series built on strategy and suspicion, filmed in the Scottish Highlands. A team of players will compete in a series of missions, the more missions they win, the bigger the prize pot.

"However, amongst the players lie the ‘Traitors’. The Traitors will meet in secret and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players known as the ‘Faithfuls’. The aim of the programme is to stay undetected until the end of the game.

"Whilst trying to avoid being eliminated, the Faithfuls must figure out who is a Traitor and vote them out so they can take the prize money for themselves. If a Traitor makes it to the end, they are in with a chance of taking home the cash prize. Throughout the series, there will be twists, turns, and surprises for the players."

The team will be hoping their new show will reach the heights of Gogglebox, which is consistently viewed by millions of Brits each season.
