Traitors finalist and mental health advocate Andrew Jenkins will be talking about his inspiring journey at a business event next month.
Andrew, who stared in the second series of the hit BBC TV show, will be speaking about his recovery from a devastating car accident, which left him in a coma for four weeks and unable to walk, to becoming a motivational speaker.
The Faithful-turned-Traitor will be one of several guest speakers at the Torfaen Business Expo, at Cwmbran Stadium, on Thursday March 5.
The event, hosted by the council's business engagement team, will include more than 50 exhibitors and business experts, a speakers' zone and a facilitated networking and meeting area.
It will be free to attend and proceeds will be donated to the King's Trust, which is a charity that helps people, aged 11-30, from disadvantaged communities to build confidence and skills.
Cllr Joanne Gauden, Executive Member for Economy, Skills and Regeneration, said: "Torfaen Business Expo will be a fantastic opportunity for local businesses and those interested in investing in the borough to meet and discuss opportunities.
"But it's important to recognise the relationship between being successful in business and maintaining good mental health. Andrew's personal story will be relevant whether you are just starting out as an entrepreneur or you're an experienced CEO."
