Cardiff: The latest season of BBC’s The Traitors has kicked off, and guess what? Elen, a lively 24-year-old translator from Cardiff, is in the mix. She’s not just there for the fun; she’s got her eyes on the cash prize and a mission to raise awareness about endometriosis.

The show returned on January 1, with Claudia Winkleman back as the host. This season introduced 25 new contestants, but only 22 could stay after a quick elimination round. Talk about pressure!

In a surprising twist, the contestants had to decide who would leave within just 10 minutes. As they made their choices, the prize money started to shrink. Eventually, three contestants had to hop off the train heading to a Scottish castle.

Among the new faces, Elen stands out. She’s bubbly and energetic, and she believes her Welsh background will give her an edge in the game. Elen shared that she often feels underestimated because English isn’t her first language. But she’s ready to flip that perception on its head.

She’s got a game plan, but she’s also open to surprises. Elen describes herself as flirty and competitive, and she’s not afraid to use those traits to her advantage. She’s all about strategy and is excited to see how things unfold.

But it’s not all fun and games for Elen. She’s been diagnosed with stage four endometriosis, which can be really tough. She wants to use her time on the show to shine a light on this condition, which affects many women but often gets overlooked.

Elen hopes to raise awareness and, if she wins, use the prize money for private treatment. She’s been waiting for a specialist appointment, and the waiting lists are long. It’s a serious issue, and she’s determined to make a difference.

Interestingly, Elen isn’t the only Welsh contestant. There’s also Leanne from Holywell, and a third contestant, Charlotte, is pretending to be from Abergavenny while actually being from London. It’s all part of the game!

Catch The Traitors on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, and see how Elen and the others navigate the twists and turns of the competition!
