Harriet Tyce Is Banished From The Traitors as Sobriety Story and Legal Past Draw Fresh Focus

The episode’s fallout has pushed attention toward her sobriety journey plus her earlier life in law.

Overview

  • Tyce was removed from the BBC reality series in Wednesday’s episode after a tense attempt to unmask a fellow contestant.
  • During the on‑screen exchange, she disclosed that she previously worked as a barrister, a detail she had kept from other players.
  • In a 2024 first‑person piece for The Observer, she reflected on alcohol’s toll on her legal career, writing that she had been “a terrible barrister.”
  • Coverage highlights her four‑stone weight loss and sustained recovery documented on Instagram, including a post marking 1,001 days sober, though reports differ on whether she quit in 2022 or 2024.
  • Secondary reporting cites The Bookseller in noting a sharp rise in her book sales since the TV appearance, with week‑on‑week gains approaching 95% on certain titles.
