James Acaster as the 'reluctant Traitor' is one of the highlights of the show

To have one so reluctant to play the role is a rare one, but it's been an interesting sight to see and a show like this needs variation.Acaster has said he's going to play his part like a Faithful, and as such he's ended up being one of the most trusted players in the game.Funnily enough during the latest episode all three Traitors were chosen as the most trustworthy players in the game, and even if Acaster didn't really want to be a Traitor he's giving a very good account of himself in the role

Mum diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers in the world after doctors dismissed symptoms

In February 2024, Nicola Crymble began to experience bleeding and pain in her abdomen after having a <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/sex-and-relationships" rel="noopener" target="_blank">contraceptive IUD</a> inserted. "I felt lethargic. I was constantly bleeding, there was so much pain," the mum-of-three recalled. After returning home from a trip to Kenya, where she had to have the coil removed due to pain, Nicola made an appointment with her doctor, only to be told that her symptoms were 'all in [her] head' and most likely caused by the <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/health" rel="noopener" target="_blank">perimenopause</a>. However the bleeding, swelling and pain persisted and the Northern Ireland native later found a lump in her abdomen that December. After discovering the lump, Nicola went to her local A&E and insisted on having her symptoms properly checked out, with a scan revealing that she had a growth in her cervix.<figure><img src="https://resizer.ladbiblegroup.com/unsafe/rs:fit:1204:0:0:0/g:sm/q:70/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQwMWIxYTIwM2Y3MWNiNzdjLzZhZGI5Njc4Mjc2OWUyN2VlMDBmMzEwYS9tdW1zLWJsZWVkaW5nLWYtMTYyMDgyMy5qcGc.jpg"><figcaption>After being told her symptoms were likely caused by perimenopause, Nicola Crymble was diagnosed with FATWO (SWNS)</figcaption></figure>She was then placed on a waiting list for surgery and underwent a full pelvic clearance, meaning her ovaries and fallopian tubes were removed alongside with the mass found by doctors. Nicola then received the heartbreaking news that she had developed an extremely rare type of <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/cancer" rel="noopener" target="_blank">cancer</a> known as FATWO. Often referred to as FATWO, Female Adnexal Tumour of Probable Wolffian Origin, the cancer develops in the gynaecological region and is believed to be the cause of just 150 cases worldwide since its discovery in 1973. Nicola's cancer has since metastasised to her liver and vaginal vault, which only occurs in around 17 percent of diagnosed cases. Doctors are also unable to operate due to the location, close to the heart and bowel, meaning that the 43-year-old has since been offered to give chemotherapy 'a try' despite there being no evidence to suggest that it will work. "You're never the same after a cancer diagnosis," she, Nicola, said of her chemotherapy treatment, which began last week. "Every ache and pain you just assume the cancer's back. The unknown is just terrifying. It's so, so scary.<figure><img src="https://resizer.ladbiblegroup.com/unsafe/rs:fit:1204:0:0:0/g:sm/q:70/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQ2MGRmYWMwMDhiZTYyYjE4LzZhZGI5Njg5NzQwMzFiZTZjMmMxOTc2My9tdW1zLWJsZWVkaW5nLWYtMTYyMDgxOS5qcGc.jpg"><figcaption>The cancer is extremely rare, with just 150 cases diagnosed since 1973 (SWNS)</figcaption></figure>Nicola will now receive six rounds of chemotherapy, one every three weeks. But she and her husband, Andrew, are desperately seeking more information about the disease."I was asking the doctor questions about it and they just don't know. They've never seen it before, they don't know how to treat it," Nicola's husband Andrew, a funeral director, said of the decision to speak publicly about the diagnosis. "We just want to get Nicola's story out there in case it reaches someone that knows something about this cancer."The family have also been dealt a second setback, after learning that an issue with Nicola's life insurance meant that she was no longer covered. "Apparently our insurance provider had switched, and our payments hadn't gone through - but the emails had gone to spam. Now they won't cover us," Andrew explained. "We'd been paying into that insurance for seven years, and now it was for nothing. "We appealed the decision, we went to the ombudsman, but they said there is nothing they can do."No one else will cover Nicola. The one thing she wanted was financial security for her little girls, and now I can't even give her that."<figure><img src="https://resizer.ladbiblegroup.com/unsafe/rs:fit:1204:0:0:0/g:sm/q:70/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHRlMTI2MmQ5NzkyNmMxNGIxLzZhZGI5NjlhZTdjODJkMDIxZDhlYzU4My9tdW1zLWJsZWVkaW5nLWYtMTYyMDgzMC5qcGc.jpg"><figcaption>The family are currently fundraising to provide Nicola with options, as well as allow her to spend more time with her three children (SWNS)</figcaption></figure>The family have since set up a GoFundMe, which they are using to <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/money" rel="noopener" target="_blank">fund</a> further medical options as well as the opportunity for Nicola to share key memories with her children.
