The Traitors' Sam Reveals Regret Over Shield Choice
The Traitors' Sam Reveals Regret Over Shield Choice

The Traitors contestant Sam has shared his biggest regret from the show after being banished during a tense roundtable on Thursday (15 January). The 34-year-old came under scrutiny when he chose to take a shield instead of adding money to the prize pot during a creepy cabin challenge.

Appearing on Lorraine on Friday (16 January), Sam admitted that his decision to protect himself from murder 'was my downfall'. He reflected: 'I wish I could just talk to myself in that moment and go, “don't grab it. It looks weird. Take a breath”. But I can't tell you how stressful that environment is in there and what it does to your head.'

Sam's banishment followed a series of tense confrontations at the roundtable, where fellow contestants questioned his motives. The shield choice ultimately sealed his fate, as it raised suspicions among the group.
