 Maddy Smedley, who is well known to TV viewers after appearing in the BAFTA winning hit TV series The Traitors, has landed an exciting new soap role. Maddy has previously appeared on EastEnders for one episode in 2021, as well as an episode of Casualty the following year, but it was The Traitors that really made her name. Maddy was a 'Faithful' in the show and initially hid her acting career from the other contestants, saying that she worked in a care home. This was true, but she thought if she disclosed her other job it would go against her in a game where people tried to guess who was being genuine and who was putting on an act. She finally revealed details of her acting career to the other contestants, saying, 'I didn't want you to think I was dodgy if I came in here and said I was an actor. I've played it as myself' – although there were some who had their doubts following the revelation. Almost making it to the final she was voted out of the game in the 11th episode, with some members of the group now convinced she was a Traitor. 'Money comes and goes in life and I've learned so much about hope and belief in yourself, and people are more important than money, I think,' she said on her departure. Maddy has previously appeared in EastEnders and Casualty (Picture: Instagram/ Maddy Smedley) Since The Traitors Maddy has announced that she's expecting a baby, recently posting on Twitter a picture of herself showing her 32 week baby bump. 'Can't sleep. 32 weeks. Can't believe it,' she wrote. Meanwhile there's another reason to celebrate as the actress has landed a part in Hollyoaks. She'll play a talent agent called Faye Fuller (is this a nod to her previously being a 'Faithful'?) who'll be working with influencer Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan). Maddy told OK Magazine that her character is 'trashy, sassy and a bit cutthroat. She's a bit more brutal than me in real life. She's like Del Boy mixed with Deborah Meaden){kind=link}
