Speaking about the show to The Independent, Hannah gave some advice on how she had observed how to win the show. She said: “I can’t say anything else, but that is the smart way to enter the castle. [To think], ‘I don’t want to be a traitor; I’m just going to glide along here and not bother anyone. If I see someone I suspect, I’ll just get closer to them.’

“I think if you’re a Traitor, you feel you’re in control of the game – but I also feel you’re putting yourself on a ledge, so I think maybe I’d want to be a useful Faithful.”
