Ahead of the exciting second season, Harry said he joined because he thought it was a “great opportunity”.
He said: “It's a life-changing experience and not many people can say they've been on TV!”
“It will be a great experience.” But don’t get me wrong, the money at the end would change my life too.”
Harry admitted he hopes to be more of a traitor than a believer in the upcoming series.
He added: “I want to be a traitor so badly!” I know everyone says that, but I've always said I feel like I have a Jekyll and Hyde inside of me.
“From Monday to Friday I'm a corporal and once it's Friday I'm just Harry and don't want to think about work on the weekend.”
“I also have five brothers and sisters, so I can tell little white lies and I force myself to believe them at first and then it just becomes the truth.”
A first clip has been released ahead of The Traitors' return for season two on Wednesday night.

Claudia Winkleman, 51, will once again host the competition, which will see 22 strangers play the ultimate game of discovery, deception and trust in the hope of winning up to £120,000
Claudia Winkleman, 51, will once again host the competition, which will see 22 strangers play the ultimate game of discovery, deception and trust in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
In the show, most of the contestants are “believers” and have to figure out who among them is the “traitor” – who each night has the opportunity to “murder” a fellow contestant.
The group conducts daily “banishments” where they must vote to kick out whoever they believe is a traitor, while also working on challenges to raise money for the prize fund.
In the first episode, Claudia will choose which candidates will secretly become the new traitors.
In addition, participants compete against each other in various “missions” that previously had the goal of increasing the prize pot.
But as she addressed the castmates for the 2024 season as they lined up by a lake, Claudia revealed that this year's missions have arrived with a new twist.
As well as offering the opportunity to raise £15,000 towards the prize pot, Claudia added a surprising new layer to the challenges.
She said, “I have news too.” This year, in these missions, you're not just playing for money, but also for your life.

Players have a chance to win a shield that will protect them from being murdered by the traitors

Tensions are high as Claudia also chooses the new traitors in the first episode
“This, Player, is a shield.” Three of you can win one of these in a mission. There are two in the hole and one on land.
“It will protect you from being murdered by the traitors, but it will not protect you from exile.”
“To be clear, if you choose a shield, you are protected from murder. But at what cost?
“Basically, you have to think about what’s more important – your money or your life?”
A banishment ceremony takes place every evening, giving the cast members the chance to get rid of those they consider traitors.
However, they often mistakenly banish a fellow believer instead, provoked by the manipulations of the true traitors.
The 22 contestants taking part were announced ahead of the show – including a man who was brought back to life after being left for dead on the side of the road, a parliamentary affairs adviser, a disability model and a psychic.
They compete for a prize of up to £120,000, with multiple winners or just one. The prize also varies depending on whether a participant is a “believer” or a “traitor.”
In this series, Claudia is joined by comedian Ed Gamble, who presents a special spin-off podcast for the hit show.
The first season of The Traitors, set in a Scottish castle, premiered at the end of November 2022.

The Traitors starts tonight on BBC One. You can then watch the first three episodes on BBC iPlayer.
