On a crisp autumn morning, Rita Simons, former soap opera star turned reality TV favorite, strolled into a bustling cafe in London. Her signature red hair caught the light as she settled into a cozy corner booth, sipping on a steaming cup of coffee. Leaning in, she revealed a mischievous glint in her eye as she shared her latest thoughts on the BBC’s hit reality competition series, “The Traitors.”
Simons, known for her roles on “EastEnders” and her appearances on shows like “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and “Celebrity MasterChef,” hinted at a possible foray into the world of deception and deceit on the popular show. With a coy smile, she confessed to being a self-professed fan of the series, hosted by the esteemed Claudia Winkleman.
The U.K. series, which recently hosted its first Celebrity Spin-off, garnered over 15 million viewers and has been renewed for a second season in 2026. Simons, when asked about her potential participation, didn’t hesitate to express her enthusiasm, stating, “Yes, I’d take part in an instant.” However, she admitted that her skills in acting may not translate well into being a traitor on the show, as she humorously confessed, “I’m a really good actress, but I’m a terrible liar to people I know, so it would be hard.”
Simons’ career has been a diverse one, beginning in 2002 on “Dream Team” before landing the role of Roxy Mitchell on “EastEnders” in 2007. Since then, she has ventured into the realm of reality TV with appearances on shows like “Celebrity Supermarket Sweep” and “Celebrity MasterChef,” showcasing her versatility as an actress.
As “The Traitors” gears up for its fourth season in January 2026, fashion insiders and viewers alike are eager to see how Simons would navigate the intricacies of the show. Her candid nature and infectious charm make her a compelling figure to watch, both on-screen and off.
In a world of scripted drama and carefully crafted personas, Rita Simons brings a refreshing authenticity that resonates with audiences. As she contemplates her potential role as a traitor on the upcoming season of “The Traitors,” one thing is certain – she is a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the screen.
