The Traitors star Zack Davies isn't the only one in his family to have appeared on national TV - fans might recognise his older sibling from Big Brother.

The parliamentary affairs advisor is one of the Faithfuls to have survived seven episodes of the BBC show, and despite some fellow players feeling unsure about him, he's been a stand-out contestant for viewers. Before the series, Zack, 27, said he came from a 'small Jewish community'.

But he's yet to mention his brother, Matthew Davies, who appeared on Channel 5's Big Brother in 2014. Zack told the BBC: "I think I am very good at reading people, mostly because of my career and I want to see if that is the case. I think it also helps that I come from a small, very tightly-knit, Jewish community where socially everyone just knows each other's business."

His older brother, Matthew, was on series 15 of Big Brother and lasted an impressive 30 days in the house. He only got two nominations during his time on the show. And despite his early exit in week five, he quickly reappeared for a few tasks - making him well-known with fans of the programme.

Speaking about what he'd do if he won the prize money, Zack said: "The money would be a huge bonus for my girlfriend and I who are trying to find a flat, and obviously in the cost of living crisis, it's not great. Fundamentally it's a bit of a selfish sort of reason, I think that I could win it if I'm a Faithful, I've already said that I do not want to be a Traitor at all because I'm never going to win."

He added: "I reckon I could win as a Faithful, essentially I'm just trying to see if I'm as delirious or as sane as I think I am!" Elaboarating about what he'd do if he won, he shared: "It's going to be a boring answer, but a deposit on a flat. The flat is my answer, and as far as my girlfriend is concerned that's what I'm saying. I have to say the flat, my girlfriend will break up with me if I didn't say it!"
