The Traitors began last week, and, only three episodes in, the contestants are already starting to turn on each other and cause drama.However, the mind-games, deceiving and sabotaging required in the show will likely have psychological effects, say experts.The programme, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, involves a group of 22 ordinary people.

Of the group, some are selected to be ‘traitors’ who must lie to the others, hide their identity and try and sabotage the rest of the group’s chance at winning the prize fund, all while trying to not get caught.

They must select one player each episode to ‘murder’ in the night, who will then be eliminated. The group, including the unknown traitors also have meetings known as ‘round-tables’ where they decide on who they think should be ‘banished’, for suspicion of being a traitor.Clinical psychologist, Dr.

Paul Davies, and psychodynamic psychotherapist, Mr Roger Fife, weighed in on the show’s psychological impact on the viewers, and the contestants.They firstly explained the popularity surrounding the show, with Fife saying: “Humans’ fascination with betrayal and dishonesty can be partly attributed to our complex psychological and social makeup.”He continued: “It provides a vicarious experience through which we can contemplate ethical boundaries and the consequences of actions without real-world risks.”But the experts also attributed the high-stakes atmosphere and competitive pressure to some changes in emotion for the contestants.

her “planned abdominal surgery.”The Princess of Wales, 42, returned home to Windsor Monday morning, where she will continue to recover behind closed doors until after Easter.The mother-of-three spent a total of 13 days at the London Clinic, before she was whisked away to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, where she was reunited with Prince William and their three children.“The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress,” Kensington Palace said in a statement Monday.“The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.”William, who had hit the brakes on his official engagements while Kate was in the hospital, is expected to resume his official duties once the Princess settles in back at home.“The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world,” the statement concluded.Royal sources say Kate’s return to official duties “will depend on medical advice closer to the time.”Since news of Kate’s health woes came to light, Kensington Palace has contacted the Princess’ 30 charities to postpone and reschedule engagements.Kate’s father-in-law, King Charles, remains in the London Clinic this afternoon after being admitted three days ago for treatment of an enlarged prostate.Last week, it was reported that the Princess didn’t tell those close to the royal family about her surgery.Sources told People that the news took Middleton’s loved ones by surprise, especially as “there had been no indication that anything was wrong” with her before her hospitalization on Jan.
