Paul Henry tells Spy about the new season of The Traitors NZ and why he’s scuttled plans to sell his boat. Legendary broadcaster Paul Henry has revealed fresh details about the new season of The Traitors NZ , explaining why he is no longer selling his boat and how he feels about the imminent birth of his daughter Bella’s twins. The host of The Traitors NZ says there is a new look for the show’s second season, and a new mystery location.
He also thinks it is good there are no celebrities this time on Three’s version of the hit global reality franchise. “I am a little more extreme in my image and my style than last time, I am more embedded in my game, the show is much darker this time around,” Henry tells Spy . In a game where he loves being in control, he is playing himself even more, which he says is reflected in his clothing and mannerisms.
His trademark cane and hats are back, this time accessorised with four fashion-forward styles of eyewear. In episode one Henry looks dandy with a 70s-style tan suit and flower lapel, paired with Harry Potter-style glasses. However, it’s his steam punk tinted spectacles that are his favourite.
“They are the personification of the phrase ‘style over substance’ as I can barely see through them, but I wear them anyway because I like how they look,” he says. The second season of the show has moved from the quaint hotel north of Auckland (the location of the first season) to a manor in the deep south, which Henry describes.
