Overview

• Osman told ITV’s Good Morning Britain he was invited to the show but turned it down because he could not face playing a faithful and worrying about being “murdered.”
• He said he would have taken part only if guaranteed the role of a traitor, acknowledging the production cannot promise contestant roles.
• He joked that he could never appear now because viewers would assume he was a traitor, quipping, “Am I double bluffing?”
• Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the series tasks contestants with rooting out traitors while completing challenges to build the prize pot, with a traitor able to claim the money if undetected at the end.
• Osman also said he would “definitely not” do Strictly Come Dancing and was promoting his new Thursday Murder Club novel, The Impossible Fortune, released on September 25.
