Warning: This article contains spoilers for series three of The Traitors.

The latest contestant to be eliminated from BBC One's The Traitors has spoken about their feud with a fellow Faithful.

The tense game show sees contestants attempt to identify who among them are "Faithfuls" and which are "Traitors", with the Traitors plotting to murder the Faithfuls, and the Faithfuls trying to identify and banish the Traitors.

If a Traitor survives until the very end, unidentified, they take home the full prize pot of up to £120,000, while any remaining Faithfuls leave with nothing.

Livi Deane, a 26-year-old beautician and model from Horsham, spoke to BBC Radio Sussex about her experience on the show.

Asked about her onscreen feud with Freddie Fraser, Livi said she "felt awful" after finding out her co-star was not a Traitor and hoped he "would catch a break now".

"The whole time we were in the castle there was obviously a lot more suspicion than what we saw on television. It was difficult and I'm glad I'm out now," she said.

The two have made up and "hugged it out" since filming ended, she added.

Livi said living in the castle was intense and the game can really get to your head

Livi said watching herself on TV was quite hard because she is usually a very positive person, but that in "almost every scene I saw I was crying".

"A lot of the time in the castle it seems like I was crying all the time but I can promise you we had such fun in there most days. You develop strong relationships and that's so great."

At the age of 12, Livi was diagnosed with a type of cancer called retinoblastoma and lost her right eye.

While on the show she opened up about her disability and prosthetic eye.

"It's really important for me to get the awareness out and help other children going through this traumatic time," she said.

"I just want to support them and show that it's okay to be different and that's why sometimes I wear my conformer instead of my prosthetic eye."

She revealed she wanted to help others because, at first, "it just knocked my confidence massively".
