Jessie Roux

From BBC One’s The Traitors, Jessie is a vibrant on-screen personality, known for her warmth, quick instincts, and unmistakably bold and colourful sense of style.

Jessie first came to national attention as a Faithful on Series 4 of The Traitors, where she earned a reputation as one of the strongest players in the game. Nicknamed the “traitor hunter,” she became known for her sharp intuition, expressive reactions, and joyful, high-energy presence, often dressed head to toe in her signature yellows, oranges, and bold, vivid colours.

As the first contestant in the show’s history to openly have a stammer, Jessie brought much needed visibility to an underrepresented community. She has spoken publicly about her experiences on BBC One’s Morning Live, ITV’s Good Morning Britain, and BBC’s Look North, as well as on multiple radio interviews and the Scroobius Pip podcast Distraction Pieces, raising awareness about stammering and helping people feel seen and confident. She has been praised as inspiring and brave for championing representation and inclusion in communication.

With her natural warmth, playful energy, and ability to engage audiences, Jessie has developed strong affinity for children’s television. Her upcoming appearances include CBBC’s Bro’s In Control Halloween Special, and Saturday Mash Up. She also hosted BBC 5 Live’s Teen Summit, and worked with BBC Bitesize on its back-to-school digital series.

Jessie has also been a guest speaker on panel discussions and appeared at events such as Student Pride and BBC Unboxed, where she contributed to conversations around inclusion and creativity. She also participates in Fireside Chats and Q&A Conversations around stammering awareness in the workplace.

On social media, Jessie’s platforms are reflective of her dynamic style and she is quickly gaining momentum with her uplifting, inclusive, and personable content. Also a professional hair colourist, Jessie has worked with global brands including Moroccanoil and GHD Hair.
