Jack Butler, the last Faithful standing in The Traitors final, has admitted he was 'absolutely steaming' after being betrayed by Stephen Libby. The 29-year-old personal trainer from Essex saw his hopes of winning the BBC show dashed when Stephen, a Traitor, turned his slate over with Jack's name in the final moments.
Jack had placed his trust in Stephen throughout the series, convinced he was a Faithful. 'We really clicked,' he said. 'I just thought he's got to be a faithful because he's terrified just like me.' The penny only dropped at the very end, leaving Jack stunned.
Despite the anger, Jack praised both winners, Stephen and Rachel Duffy, who each took home nearly £50,000. 'They absolutely deserved it,' he said. 'I am genuinely really happy for both of them.' He admitted producers had to calm him down in the immediate aftermath, and he turned to meditation to cool off.
Now, Jack is staying grounded and has no plans to leave his job as a personal trainer. 'I genuinely love my job,' he said, laughing off comparisons to fitness star Joe Wicks. 'That guy's a legend.'
