As a psychic, Kimberly Stewart knew her profession would put her at a disadvantage when she competed on New Zealand’s hottest reality competition, The Traitors NZ.
Hosted by Paul Henry, the show is the local version of the international phenomenon, which sees contestants, made up of a mixture of local celebrities and everyday people, involved in a murder-mystery. Those dubbed “Faithfuls” must figure out who among them are the “Traitors”, who are assigned to eliminate or “murder” the guests one by one.
Going into the game, Kimberly thought her powers would be an advantage, but she soon realised her ability to see into the future in a game filled with deception and backstabbing put a target on her back.
“I wish the result had been different,” the 38-year-old says of her early exit from the show. “I didn’t unpack my bags because I knew I was going to leave very quickly.
“The experience was tiring and mentally draining, but I had so much fun. It was nice to be amongst a group of people who were different but also very brilliant and intelligent.”
Kimberly is one of New Zealand’s busiest full-time psychics and tarot card readers, seeing around 20 clients a week.
She says the gift of clairvoyancy runs in both sides of her family. Her paternal great-grandmother, who was from the Cook Islands, was a professional fortune-teller and her maternal great-grandmother read tea leaves.
