First look at the 24 players on The Traitors Ireland

Kenneth Fox

A total of 24 players have entered Slane Castle ready to outwit, outplay and outlast in the ultimate game of trust and deception.

The Traitors features a group of contestants participating in a social deduction game similar to Mafia or Werewolf, where an informed minority (known as the "Traitors") must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the "Faithfuls").

Here is a first look at the 24 contestants as they step inside Slane Castle to take part in the very first Irish series of the global phenomenon.

Each brings their own personality, background and game plan but who will survive the twists, turns and betrayals that lie ahead.
