Appear on The Traitors: How to apply to take part in the hit BBC show and what questions you're asked

If you've been watching season two of The Traitors and thought "I reckon I'd do well", here's your chance to prove it.

Applications are now open for season three of The Traitors, presented by Claudia Winkleman.

The Traitors is back - and once again 22 strangers have been locked in a spooky castle, split into Traitors and Faithfuls, then encouraged to lie their way to a £120,000 top prize.

The second series of the BBC hit show may only be approaching its halfway point but producers are already hunting for the next cast to feature in season three.

Here's how you could become a Faithful...or a Traitor, and a little information on the application process.

Where can I apply to take part on The Traitors?

Applications are now open for season three of The Traitors and can be submitted here.

Who are they looking for?

The request for applications reads as follows: "The Traitors is back, and we are looking for fun, smart and strategic players to take part in the ultimate game of trust and treachery! 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 complete successfully , the bigger the prize pot. However, hidden amongst the players are the ‘Traitors’. The Traitors meet in secret each night and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players known as the ‘Faithfuls’. The aim for the Traitors is to stay undetected until the end, the aim for the Faithful is to banish all of the Traitors before the game ends. Throughout the series, there will be twists, turns, shocks and surprises for the players. Expect trickery, betrayal and backstabbing. Do you have what it takes to play?"

Are there restrictions on who can take part?
