Miles Asteri is ready for people to hear his story now (Picture: PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Miles Asteri spent his whole life hiding – outside the school<\/a> gates, at parties and on paper, from a tall shadowed figure. <\/p>\n

Then he went on the BBC<\/a>’s biggest reality show in years, The Traitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I’m an adult,’ Miles, 38, reasoned, when deciding whether to step into the bright lights of showbusiness and in turn risk his father re-entering his life, stalking him and his mother Anna, <\/strong>62.<\/p>\n

‘By the time the Traitors came around, I thought, “Screw it. I\u2019m not going to let it define who I am”,’ a burly, gentle Miles tells Metro<\/strong> over a Zoom call, sitting next to his mum Anna; a petite, self-assured woman whose face peeks out from under a silky, Claudia Winkleman-esque fringe, her head slightly sunken into her leopard print shirt.<\/p>\n

‘I know there\u2019s a lot more help out there now, but I hope that on hearing my story someone can relate to it,’ Anna says.<\/p>\n

Over a year on from Miles’ series two Traitors appearance, he and Anna want to use his platform to help others, and show them that there is hope, no matter how dark life may seem. <\/p>\n
