BBC's The Traitors star Minah's life including family link to popstar Tom Walker
Claudia Winkleman has selected Minah Shannon as one of her cunning Traitors in the return of the BBC hit gameshow, The Traitors.
Season three premiered on January 1 with 25 new contestants geared up to compete for a prize of up to £120,000.
Among these eager competitors is 29-year-old Minah, a call centre manager from Liverpool.
Minah was chosen alongside retired opera singer Linda and financial investigator Armani, and so far, she has remained undetected by her Faithful castmates.
Linda and Armani have already raised suspicion among the other contestants, but the Scouser has successfully maintained her cover.
As she eyes the life-changing prize pot, we take a look at her life before The Traitors, including her surprising connection to Tom Walker.

Minah got married to husband Liam Shannon in December 2020. She shared pictures from the special day on Instagram, captioning the post: "Yesterday I finally got to marry my bestest friend and I'm still on the biggest high.
"Thank you to everyone who was a part of the day but also everyone who couldn't be there due to Covid and still sent us all best wishes! Our next chapter begins Mr Shannon @liamkshannon."
In the first episode, she revealed to Claudia that she would use the prize money to fund a long-awaited honeymoon. She hinted that getting married during the pandemic had curtailed the couple's plans to travel abroad.
Does Minah have kids?
Minah and Liam have a two-year-old daughter named Luna. The couple frequently post images of their "magical girl" on Instagram.
After Luna celebrated her second birthday in May 2024, Minah shared pictures of the young family and gushed: "Happy 2nd Birthday to our perfect, sassy, magical girl!
"Luna we really are so lucky to be your mummy and daddy! The biggest star ever!"
Popstar connection
Minah's husband Liam is a sound engineer who works at festivals and music tours.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Liam has worked as a monitor engineer for Tom Walker for over six years. He has also worked with the likes of One Direction alum Louis Tomlinson and rapper Lil Uzi Vert.
Liam's role entails mixing live music for the artist, making it easier for them to hear their voices and bandmates.
He often shares images from his time on tour on his Instagram page, which is followed by several famous musicians, including Sam Fender.
The first two episode of The Traitors season three are available to stream on iPlayer.
