Traitors Star Taken Outside To 'Calm Down' After Finding Out Cast's True Identities

This article contains major spoilers for the finale of The Traitors UK.

The Traitors finalist Jack has admitted he had to take a minute to gather himself after finding out he’d been stabbed in the back by the Traitors at the eleventh hour.

On Friday night, Jack made it down to the final three alongside Rachel and Stephen, who had both been Traitors since day one.

While all three players opted to continue the game rather than end it with the three of them, Rachel and Stephen voted Jack out, meaning they split the £95,750 prize pot between them.

And in a new interview with the Daily Mail, the personal trainer admitted that he didn’t exactly take the news well at first.

“The first 10 minutes after it happened, I was absolutely steaming,” he revealed. “I was so angry and I got pulled into a room with the producers and I was calmed down a little bit.”

Fortunately, 10 minutes later, Jack’s overriding emotion was looking forward to going home and seeing his now-fiancée, and soon reminded himself it as all a game.

“It’s like 10 minutes of anger and then you’re like ‘hang on, it’s not actually life or death’,” Jack explained. “Honestly, it’s such a psychological game and you’ve gone through all these weeks of ‘who can I trust?’.”

Of Rachel and Stephen, he added: “They were both phenomenal. They absolutely deserved it. I am genuinely really happy for both of them.”

Those already missing The Traitors will be pleased to hear that its celebrity counterpart will be returning to our screens later this year with a new star-studded cast.

Until then, there’s always the several international versions of the show to stream on BBC iPlayer, not to mention The Traitors live experience in London and an even an upcoming stage show based on the reality TV format in the works for the West End.
