Fans of The Traitors will get the opportunity to meet the infamous ‘Mama Dragon’ herself, Amanda Lovett, at National Student Pride this weekend.
The breakout star of the hit BBC reality series, which pitted ‘Faithfuls’ and ‘Traitors’ against one another in the ultimate game of poker face, will be hosting a meet-and-greet during UK’s largest student Pride event in London this Saturday (11 February).
Amanda, who became an overnight gay icon after viewers fell in love with her warm, motherly demeanour and ruthless culling of competitors on The Traitors, will meet attendees at National Student Pride 2023’s free daytime festival at the University of Westminster’s Marylebone campus.
Appearing on Lorraine following her time on The Traitors, Amanda said that to be considered a gay icon was “absolutely fantastic”, adding: “I am loving the love.”
Those at National Student Pride will also get the chance to meet two of The Traitors’ most popular faithfuls, Maddy ‘I played a homeless woman on EastEnders‘ Smedley and the loveable Aaron Evans.
