FANS hooked on the Highland-set reality TV hit The Traitors are being given the chance to be part of the next series.

The show fronted by Claudia Winkleman returns to the screen tonight (Wednesday) on a cliffhanger after the first three episodes dropped last week.

And now the production company behind the show, set at Ardross Castle in Easter Ross and featuring two contestants from the Highlands, has opened applications for a new series which looks set to be filmed in spring and summer this year.

What is The Traitors?

The Traitors is a competition series built on strategy and suspicion. 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, we are promised, "there will be twists, turns, shocks and surprises for the players".

There have already been a few in the first few episodes...

Producer Studio Lambert Scotland is now looking for contestants for the next series.

It asks: "A game of trust and treachery… do you have what it takes to play?"

The TV reality show set at Ardross Castle and featuring two contestants from the Highlands has already gripped the nation.

You will be asked to share some information about yourself and to say whether you would choose to be a faithful or a traitor and your strategy to win.

Are you more likely to make a decision based on your head or heart? Why?

What has been the most significant moment in your life so far and how has it shaped you as a person?

And you will be invited to upload a video of yourself saying why you want appear and some headshot photos.
