Lisa, 62. Anglican priest from Lizard, Cornwall

Murder mysteries are an obsession

“My main driving force is that I am completely obsessed with murder mysteries. I’ve watched every episode of Poirot, every Agatha Christie more than once, Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse, Grantchester, Father Brown, Sister Boniface”.

She’s an observer of people

“I like to think that I’m a pretty good judge of character. I’ll be looking at people from outside the box. I’m quite an observer”.

She admired Jaz’s game plan (from series 2)

“I’d like to be a bit like Jaz. You know, say things but not too much, which is going to be difficult for me, because I can talk quite a bit. So, be the person who’s there but doesn’t get noticed much.”

But won’t be admitting her occupation!

“I think going in if I say I’m a priest, I think I’m going to have a target on my back straight away”.

She’s very competitive

“We have been made very aware of what the rules are, what the game is that we’re letting ourselves in for. So, you’re not doing it to unsuspecting people. You know that when they go in there, they know what the role is, and they know what the game is.”

She’s strong

“I’m quite strong for a woman of my age, because I’ve got horses. So, I do a lot of mucking out, a lot of wheeling poo around fields and handling 500 kilo animals at a time who can be quite strong. I have quite a lot of upper body strength”.

If she wins, the money is going to her church

“My own parish church, we have an old vestry, that we want to convert into a community place so that we can have lunches for people who have been widowed, who are bereaved and want to come together. I’d like to open a Lego club for kids to come and be able to be creative.”

The Traitors Series 3 continues on 8, 9, 10 Jan and 15, 16, 17 Jan. Each episode will be on iPlayer once aired.
