“How was it?” requested Marler – who reached the ultimate as a Faithful however missed out on the cash at the last minute to Traitor Alan Carr – together with his co-host Jake Bhardwaj questioning: “What can you say? Are you allowed to say stuff?”
Lycett defined that he’d “signed NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) all over the place” so wasn’t allowed to debate the present in any element.
“I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he mentioned, pulling his cellphone from his pocket and discovering an e-mail despatched by the present’s publicists about what he might and could not say in interviews about the present.
Reading from his cellphone, Lycett repeated: “‘In an ideal world, nothing would be said at all, but of course this may not be realistic given how much attention there will inevitably be.'”

Joking that there was “an arrogance” to the message, Lycett continued to learn: “‘If avoiding the question is not possible…'”, asking Marler: “Is it possible to avoid the question?”
“The question is: how did you find The Traitors?” Marler reiterated, with Lycett returning to the message: “‘The best response would be brief and simple. We’ve put together some suggestions of what could be said below.'”
The pair then “role-played” a few of the prompt solutions, with Marler asking him as soon as once more how The Traitors was.
“‘Well, as you can imagine, I can’t say anything, but I am excited,'” Lycett replied. “‘I loved the first series, so it’s the dream to be in that castle.’ This is what they’ve sent me that I can say… ‘Thrilled to be involved. Can’t tell you anything more at this stage.'”

“Were you allowed to wear watches?” Marler requested, with Lycett stammering earlier than returning to his cellphone with the phrases: “As you can imagine, I can’t say anything but I am excited.”
“Did you do well at the challenges?” requested Bhardwaj. “I loved the first series,” replied Lycett, with amusing.
