Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy, both competitors on a popular show, emerged victorious in the latest episode. Stephen, hailing from Lewis in Scotland, and Rachel, from Northern Ireland, teamed up early in the season as traitors, vowing not to target each other during crucial rounds. Their strategy paid off, allowing them to outsmart the other players and share the prize of £95,750 equally.
This win marked the first time that a duo of traitors clinched the title on the show. Stephen, who works as a cyber security consultant and resides in London, maintained an active presence on social media throughout the season. Observant viewers on TikTok even spotted him with his famous friend, comedian Lou Sanders, in a video reacting to his traitorous revelation.
Rumors circulated online linking Lou as Stephen’s landlord, potentially aiding his post-show career prospects. However, Daniel Quirke, Stephen’s partner, clarified that Lou is simply a friend, dispelling the speculations. Stephen’s connection network extends to other actors like Lydia West, recognized for her roles in popular TV shows.
Back on Lewis Island, where Stephen’s roots lie, the community celebrated his victory on the BBC program. The local cafe, Blue Lobster, proudly displayed artwork by Stephen’s father, Donald, as Stephen made a pre-finale visit. Jayne Macritchie, the cafe owner, expressed elation for Stephen’s family and the island residents, who were captivated by the nail-biting finale.
Describing Stephen as a genuine and loyal individual, Ms. Macritchie commended his dedication to keeping promises, a trait she attributes to their Celtic heritage. Stephen’s integrity in honoring his pact with Rachel, his fellow traitor, resonated with the island’s values of loyalty and trust.
