The Traitors cast let their hair down after nail-biting finale

The Traitors cast let their hair down as they kicked off celebrations after Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy’s epic win on Friday.

Traitors Stephen, 32, and Rachel, 42, scooped up £47,875 each on the hit BBC series after they went head-to-head with James Baker, 38, Faraaz Noor, 22, Jade Scott, 25, and Jack Butler, 29, in the final.

The cast reunited for a fun celebration as they posed for a series of snaps on Instagram.

For the outing, crime writer Harriet Tyce, 52, looked in good spirits as she posed with Jack, Faraaz and James.

Notably missing from the pictures with Rachel but it was unclear is Rachel attended the glitzy event.  

During the final episode, the group ultimately chose to banish Faraaz first, before voting to eliminate Jack in a dramatic second round of banishment.

Traitors Rachel and Stephen were left overwhelmed with emotion as host Claudia Winkleman announced they had won the game. 

The duo then celebrated their victory with glasses of bubbly as they reflected on their unforgettable time on the show.

Following their win, they appeared on The Traitors spin-off show Uncloaked to reflect on the intense finale.

Rachel said: ‘I was so nervous for Stephen, so watching it back, it made me cry.’

Stephen added: ‘I didn’t know what I was going to do, watching it back, I can see in my face. I’m just so proud of the decision that I made, proud of myself and Rachel.’

Earlier in the series, Stephen had expressed doubts over whether Rachel would keep her side of the pact they made never to write each other’s names on their slates at the roundtable.

But speaking after their win, the pair explained why they were determined to stick to the agreement, despite initial doubts.

Rachel said: ‘I knew from the minute it came out of my mouth I wouldn’t break the pact and I thought this is a new game for me I’m not breaking it.’

Stephen added: ‘It’s so hard to trust someone in there whose job it is to lie and so I was really struggling to see how Rachel could hold onto that pact for the whole game, which is why to the end I was wobbling.’

On Thursday night, host Claudia announced the banishment would be ‘in the hands of fate’, as she brought out the chests of chance.

Each player chose a chest and opened them at the same time, and Rachel had luck on her side as hers contained the shield, beating James to the final five.

Earlier in the episode, Roxy Wilson became the last contestant to be ‘murdered’ on the BBC show.

At breakfast the following morning, Claudia revealed Roxy had been hiding a secret – her mother was a fellow contestant, Judy.

While series 4 has come to an end, fans of The Traitors won’t have to wait too long to see another series, as it was confirmed that Celebrity Traitors would be making its return this year.

Last November, the BBC confirmed that the popular spin-off format would be back for more on BBC One in 2026 – following its successful debut.

Betting sites including MyBettingSites, Sports Casting Bets and OLGB all named Stephen the favourite to win just hours before the final, whereas Ladbroke insisted it would be the Faithfuls that take the prize.

However, fans of the BBC show were convinced that Rachel would get the cash prize, following on from a very dramatic penultimate episode earlier this week.
