Traitors Ireland Contestant Saoirse Joyce

If you've been watching The Traitors Ireland, you'll know there's been no shortage of twists, suspicion, and backstabbing.

And unfortunately for one Galway contestant, her time in the castle came to an end this week.

Saoirse Joyce joined the show as a Faithful, but after a couple of weeks of trying to work out who she could trust, she was banished from the castle.

I'm delighted to say Saoirse is joining us on I Recommend now to talk about the casting process, what life inside the castle is really like, and what it was like watching her own banishment back on TV.

Saoirse, welcome to the show.

Delighted to be chatting to you.

I'm very sorry for you that you have been, of course, banished from the castle.

But take me back to the beginning before all that.

We've talked enough about, uh, the end of the journey, if you like.

How did you end up applying for The Traitors Ireland? What was the casting process like for that?
