The Traitors star Stephen Libby has taken to social media and become emotional as he reflected on a very awkward scene from an episode of the programme which aired this week
Stephen Libby was left in tears after his awkward The Traitors blunder. Earlier this week, Stephen slipped up in a scene that could have easily gone unnoticed by viewers.
In a scene with fellow Traitor, Rachel, Stephen went back on his deal to recruit Matt as a Traitor. The pair were left wondering whether they should take Jessie, Matt and Faraz out and murder them, meaning they would leave the castle.
But in a very awkward scene, Stephen was heard saying, “Throw the cat amongst the chickens,” rather than the correct term, “throw the cat amongst the pigeons.” Reflecting on the scene, Stephen shared a video on Instagram which showed him appearing to cry over the awkward gaffe.
“I don’t think we had pigeons growing up on the Isle of Lewis,” he captioned his upload. The comment section was soon flooded with messages from fans who found the situation amusing. One said: “Another brilliant episode!!! It’s become like my newest soap opera!!”
“Was waiting for Harriet’s very dramatic Cat amongst the pigeons,” said a second. Meanwhile, a third commented: “I heard it’s actually chickens in some cultures, so you’re just more worldly than others.”
Tensions have been rising for the traitors as Jessie poses a threat to the group, having repeatedly pushed to banish Stephen – a danger which rises as fewer contestants remain in the game.
The pair also discussed Matthew as an option, after last Friday’s episode saw the faithful granted the opportunity to ask the traitors two questions, and he asked if the traitors would recruit him. Rachel said: “He’s dangerous, isn’t he?”
Stephen agreed: “He’s dangerous.” The pair also considered Faraaz, and Stephen said: “Now that Sam’s out of the picture, I think he’ll come for me next.” The episode closed with Rachel saying she hopes they make the right decision for both of them, leaving viewers guessing whose name they wrote down.
Prior to the episode airing, fans had been waiting to find out what came of Matt’s encounter with Stephen and Rachel. Both of the Traitors kept their identities hidden in a confession booth, while Matt demanded that they eliminate Jessie, skip the next murder and recruit him into their team in the turret. Elsewhere, Sam was banished from the castle.
His fellow contestants believed him to be the murderer in their midst after his suspicious behaviour during the day’s task. The account manager has said he got “overwhelmed” and “frustrated” from the challenge the day before, and says he thinks his actions “looked weird” to the other players, leading to his departure from the show.
Sam was deemed suspicious during the day’s challenge after he went for the only shield available to grant him protection from that night’s kill. The episode also saw builder Adam become the traitors’ latest murder victim.
Following his departure, the 34-year-old said: “I feel like I was done at that particular time.” He added: “It was so exhausting trying to understand and read people and every little movement.”
Adam said he blamed fellow faithful James for his murder after he revealed he took a shield in Wednesday’s challenge without telling the other contestants.
