Faraaz Noor: Traitors, Wrestling and Jam on Scrambled Eggs

Traitors finalist Faraaz Noor talks about the food in the castle, his mum's palak chicken, starting his food account and his strangest food combination. What do you eat in the Traitors castle, and how many plates of lasagne is too many? Faraaz Noor, a Faithful who made it to the final of The Traitors, joins Samuel Goldsmid to talk about food, family and life after the show. Faraaz tells us about the breakfasts, lunches and dinners in the castle (the lasagne night came to four plates), eating out of stress and boredom, and his first taste of alcohol-free prosecco. He also explains how he ended up in a wrestling ring.

We also get into:

• How his Pakistani heritage, his grandparents' cooking and his mum's palak chicken curry made him a foodie

• His dad's lockdown habit of cooking huge batches of food nobody could finish

• How he started his food review account, from a grainy video filmed in a car in Manchester to trying restaurants around the country

• His favourite dish: a mixed grill, followed by a Basque cheesecake

• His best dish (shakshuka) and a frozen-chicken disaster from his uni days

• His quick guesses on who'll be a Traitor or a Faithful in the new Celebrity Traitors line-up

• Coming up with his own restaurant, "The Faithful Grill"

• His guilty pleasure: jam on toast with scrambled eggs on top
