The Traitors star Paul Gorton became a huge part of series two when he was chosen by Claudia Winkleman to play the game as a traitor.

The 36-year-old has teamed up with Harry and Miles as they attempt to remain undetected by the faithfuls in the group, having earlier turned on his own by banishing Ash at the roundtable.

At the moment, Paul is succeeding as a traitor, not yet being questioned by his fellow contestants as they all play to win up to £120,000 - but with Jaz sharing his suspicions of him, how long can it last?

How old is Paul on The Traitors and what is his job?

Paul from The Traitors is 36-years-old and from Manchester.

The TV star works as a business manager and applied to be on the show after watching the first series and becoming addicted.

He previously said: "We were latecomers so everyone was already talking about how good The Traitors was and we got hooked straight away and started bingeing it, a couple of episodes every night type of thing.

"We’ve started to watch the US and Australian series too, but I also don’t want my thought process to be altered by stuff before I go in!"

Is Paul from The Traitors married and does he have children?

Paul Gorton lives in Manchester with his partner, Kate, their dog Buddy and their son Charlie.

Kate, who The Traitors star refers to as his "partner", is a model and content creator. The pair have been together for years and welcomed their first child together in 2022.

Paul has revealed that if he was to win the cash prize on the show, he would put the money towards a house for his family.

"It'll have to be a house," he explained: "For myself, my partner, our little boy and our dog - I need to get us all a house! We’re renting at the moment and mortgage rates are just chaos, so if I can win the show or be part of a group of people that win the show then that is life changing for us."

Paul added: "The family, the house, nothing glamorous really, there's no cars, parties or holidays, it’s: we need a roof over our heads and then that will set us up for the rest of our lives. Or a Ferrari..."
