Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock says she has received advice from a former star on Celebrity Traitors to help her survive the game.
The Little Mix star is among the celebrities competing in series two of the hit BBC reality gameshow, filmed in a Scottish castle.
Pinnock said Perrie Edwards was "so excited" for her before she joined the show.
She said: "Everyone’s super excited really.
"I think it’s just that everyone loves the show.
"It’s just so big and it’s crazy.
"I’m feeling so grateful to be a part of it."
Pinnock revealed that her strategy is to remain "cool as a cucumber," inspired by former Celebrity Traitors contestant Cat Burns.
She said: "Cat Burns was so calm.
"She’s my inspiration for this.

"I actually spoke to her as well before coming in.
"I love her.
"She had good advice, she said it might get intense around that Round Table – but remember, it’s just a game.
"So, my focus is to just keep it cool.
"She also said you’re just going to have the best time, and you’ll make so many friends.
"I can’t wait."
Burns appeared in the first series of the celebrity spin-off and made it to the final as one of the original traitors, but was voted out before the end.
Comedian Alan Carr ultimately won the series.
Pinnock said her time in Little Mix might give her an edge in the game.
She said: "People don’t really know my personality that well.
"It will be really amazing for me to show who I am, so people get to know me as an individual and hopefully make their judgment on that rather than what they know of me as a performer."
Pinnock rose to fame in 2011 after winning The X Factor as part of Little Mix.
