Why Traitors star James Baker is a faithful Coventry City fan

There were other “bizarre little links” with Coventry in the show, he explained, including fellow finalist Jade Scott studies at the University of Warwick in the city.

“All the cast were lovely and I spoke to Jade a lot because I knew she was at Warwick Uni and all that, and she was great,” he said.

“Ross, the bodybuilder guy, he was an absolute legend, he had a best friend who was a Cov fan too, I think.”

The reaction of the public after the show finished was something like “Beatlemania”, James said.

“Weymouth, my home town, has been great and I’ve been feeling the love from Cov,” he said.

“I’m not going to lie, loads of people have been in touch.

“It was a bit like Beatlemania when I go out to Morrisons or something…it’s a bit like, ‘here we go, I just want to go out and get some grapes’.”
