It’s been quite the year already for Harriet Tyce. Fresh off an iconic stint on The Traitors where she put the cat among the pigeons in an explosive episode, Tyce has now returned to the day job – writing crime novels. Her first, Blood Orange, was published in 2019 and immediately climbed charts and placed her firmly in the batch of exciting crime writers to watch out for.

Not only did she hide that she was a former barrister, but also that she was a successful crime writer, who has published four gripping crime novels, with a fifth to be released next month. But could another story be on the way, perhaps inspired by her turn in The Traitors castle? The question was posed to Harriet at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, and there is hope yet! “Maybe in time. The psychology of all of it fascinates me. I mean, I can’t tell you how …

But viewers weren’t the only ones watching through their fingers – Harriet herself was left mortified by the scenes. The former barrister-turned-bestselling crime author took centre stage in Wednesday night’s episode (14 January) after she won the chance to speak to the Traitors. The following morning, she shared her experiences with her fellow contestants, throwing suspicion on Rachel, but she grew bizarrely irate in the process and ended up shouting at her fellow Faithful, Roxy. When Rachel jumped in to question how the latest twist benefited the Traitors, Harriet interrupted her: “I’ll tell you the benefit.” However, this frustrated Roxy, who said: “Rachel was speaking – you’ve said a lot, let Rachel speak,” but Harriet …
