The Traitors star deletes and reposts video after claim he accidentally ‘flashed’ fans

The Traitors star Freddie Fraser had to react quickly after fans reportedly pointed out he had exposed more of himself than intended.

The BBC contestant, who was a Faithful before being recruited as a Traitor and banished on this year’s show, was forced to remove an Instagram video that was later reuploaded.

It was claimed that the 21-year-old had accidentally ‘flashed’ fans as he filmed himself in the show preparing for the Brit Awards 2025 in his hotel room.

The Daily Mail reported that the original video appeared to show a shadow that has been cropped in the updated version.

Freddie captioned the fresh post: ‘Brits edition – day of the life💫✨ with @asos 😘. Unfortunately, the one I posted yesterday deleted so have it again!!’

However, Freddie’s mishap did not go undetected by fans, with @ryanpow asking: ‘Who has the original?’

@daniellwhitee commented: ‘You all missed the original version 😭.’

@adamearnshaw93 wrote: ‘@freddiefraserr shower scene not long enough this time round.’

After being banished from The Traitors, Freddie spoke to Metro about how his first taste of fame had been ‘overwhelming’ for him and his girlfriend.

‘She enjoyed the watch, for sure. I think she was a bit overwhelmed to begin with because it’s quite a lot of attention going on,’ he said.

‘We’re quite young still, so it was quite like a scary situation that we both haven’t been in, but she’s been really supportive and stuff like that. So she was happy with it.’

Freddie narrowly missed out on making it to the final after banished hours after being recruited by Charlotte Berman as a Traitor at the final hurdle, who used him as a pawn.

The Traitors 2025, though, was ultimately won by  Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown with each taking home a cash prize of £47,300 from a total jackpot of £94,600.

The hit BBC show presented by Claudia Winkleman is returning for season four next year – but do not despair, as there is another Traitors off-shoot to fill the void until then.

Later this year, the first UK celebrity spin-off of The Traitors will air, with rumoured names including the likes of Alan Carr, Courteney Cox and Sir Stephen Fry.

When asked recently by Metro at the Newport Beach Film Festival‘s UK and Ireland Honours event if he had signed up for the ultimate game of deception, Sir Stephen, 67, gave a cryptic answer.

He said: ‘I can say that the BBC would slice off my testicles if I were to comment publicly on the possibility of such a thing as dwelling in a castle in Scotland for a week or two – or indeed for a day or two, quite likely.

‘I would be fired in the driveway, which is the thing they sometimes do, isn’t it, before you even get there, if you say the wrong thing.’

However, Sir Stephen did give some serious thought as to whether he would prefer to play as a Traitor or Faithful: ‘I don’t know which I’d be. I’d like to think in life I am a very faithful sort of person, but in a sense we’re all traitors too, aren’t we?

‘We’re traitors to ourselves, we let ourselves down, betray our ideals… Gosh that got serious very quickly, didn’t it? What happened there? [Laughs]’

Hopefully, we’ll get to find out…

The Traitors is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
