Elen, a talented Welsh opera singer, competes on The Traitors to win money for her endometriosis treatment and raise awareness of the condition
Cardiff: Elen, a 24-year-old Welsh translator, is ready to join the competition on The Traitors. She’s hoping to snag up to £120,000 when the show kicks off on January 1. But there’s more to her story than just the game; she needs the money for her medical treatment.
Elen’s got a hidden talent as a trained opera singer. She’s been performing since she was a kid and dreams of hitting the big stage someday. She’s bubbly and energetic, but she feels like people might underestimate her because English isn’t her first language. She’s hoping to use that to her advantage in the game.
This season, Claudia Winkleman will host a new group of players in a Scottish castle. Among them are the ‘traitors’ who will secretly try to eliminate their fellow contestants. The rest, known as the Faithful, must figure out who the traitors are before it’s too late.
Elen’s motivation is deeply personal. She was recently diagnosed with stage four endometriosis, which has been really tough for her. She experiences severe pain, especially during her periods, and is on a long waiting list to see a specialist. She wants to raise awareness about this condition that affects so many women but is often overlooked.
She’s not alone in the competition; another Welsh player, Leanne, is also in the mix. The show will air episodes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for about four weeks, so fans can look forward to plenty of drama and excitement.
