Meet Harriet Tyce: Crime Writer Turned ‘Traitors’ Star
The new season of the popular show, The Traitors, is underway at Ardross Castle. This year, contestants compete for a prize of £120,000. Among them is Harriet Tyce, a crime writer and former barrister, who is already generating buzz among fans.
Meet Harriet Tyce: Crime Writer and Contestant on The Traitors
Harriet Tyce, 52, hails from London. Known for her competitive nature, she humorously noted that Monopoly is banned in her household due to intense games with her husband. Despite her tough demeanor, she also enjoys spending time cooking, baking, and caring for her two dogs.
Career Background
Tyce has a rich background in law, having worked as a barrister. She is now an acclaimed author of psychological thrillers, including titles like Blood Orange and The Lies You Told. Her upcoming book, Witch Trial, is set to release in February.
While she possesses skills in observing patterns and inconsistencies in behavior, Tyce plans to downplay her professional experience on the show. This is a strategy to avoid drawing attention to herself as a potential threat to other contestants.
Role in The Traitors
Currently positioned as a Faithful in the competition, Harriet considers the possibility of becoming a Traitor exciting. She remarked, “It’s the closest I’ll ever get in real life to plotting murder.” Yet, she acknowledges that both roles offer unique opportunities to explore her skills in deception and observation.
- Age: 52
- Profession: Crime writer and former barrister

Impact Beyond the Game
Should she win the £120,000 prize, Tyce intends to donate the funds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This cause is close to her heart as she has lost friends to the disease, including a close friend in 2021.
