A CONTESTANT on The Traitors has a shock link to a major TV star – and it could be a total game-changer.
The new BBC show hosted by Claudia Winkleman sees 22 strangers entering a Scottish castle for a psychological game of deception.
The show has already seen one brutal twist, with the numbers being taken down to 20 before the games had even really begun.
One of the contestants still in the running to get a share of the jackpot is Tom, a magician from Buckinghamshire.
But Tom's interest in magic isn't just a hobby, as he is in fact good friends with famous magician Dynamo.
Tom has previously worked as one of Dynamo’s Creative Consultants on both the Seeing Is Believing Tour in 2015/16 and his TV show Dynamo: Magician Impossible.

It could mean his fellow contestants under estimate what Tom is able to do with his magic tricks and power of suggestion.
Tom has already managed to trick the other competitors into believing he doesn't know Alex, who is actually his girlfriend.
The couple are doing an impressive job of making their secret love disappear for the benefit of playing the game.
However, they did manage to steal a brief private moment for a reassuring kiss and hug in one of the latest episodes.
They then swiftly returned to being strangers who have just met for the benefit of all the other players.
Meanwhile, Claire Barratt, who is currently fighting it out for a potential £120,000 prize, is already raking in some serious cash as a dancer on TikTok.
Known on the site as ClaireBellaFounder, the 43-year-old mum and former police officer has been sharing clips of her performing dance routines and lip-syncs.
She's so good at it she's earned an impressive 16.1million views – and is only 2,000 shy of hitting that golden 1million followers mark.
The Traitors airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
