Infamous reality hit The Traitors NZ is set to return to our screens - alongside a familiar host.

Despite former broadcaster Paul Henry taking in luxury yachts, Palm Springs and plenty of gin in his semi-retirement, he just can't quit the series.

He says he didn't want to commit to any broadcasting roles, unless the right role turned up.

"When I was offered Traitors last year - it was just obviously the right project. It was a month's solid work, all care, no responsibilities. The franchise was just so good."
