The Traitors‘ Fiona tried to throw fellow Traitor Rachel under the bus in one the tensest episodes the BBC show has seen, but it was ultimately her who got the chop. On Uncloaked, the elusive Secret Traitor shared why she picked a fight, inadvertently causing her downfall.
This week, Fiona, who had only just been revealed as the Secret Traitor, told the Faithfuls that she thought Rachel was a Traitor, accusing her of lying about Amanda being a former police officer.
She was, of course, correct – hard not to be when you’re also a Traitor. Dobbing Rachel in was a first for the series, as it came completely unprompted and happened right in front of both Rachel and the third Traitor, Stephen.

Ultimately, Fiona’s devious ways caused the team to turn on her, and she was banished at the roundtable. On spin-off show Uncloaked, Fiona was asked whether she really thought Rachel was lying about Amanda being a retired cop. Fiona said: “I knew she was saying the truth. I absolutely knew she was saying the truth and I trusted her explicitly.”
But, the banished Traitor added that she thought Rachel would “throw me under the bus” and therefore felt Rachel had to go. “However I had my suspicions about Rachel and I thought if anyone was going throw me under the bus it was her. And in poker, when you have a rubbish hand, you throw the hand in.
“I thought that’s what I’m going to do here, I’m going to throw a grenade in the room and see who comes out unscathed. Unfortunately it was me, but I felt it had to be done. It would have been lovely if the three cloaks had gotten to the end but that was never going to happen.”
In the end, Rachel did not get a single vote at the roundtable, while Fiona went home. Despite her spectacular demise, Fiona said afterwards that she wouldn’t change a thing.
“No, I had an absolute ball. Yes, it would have been lovely to have won, but it wasn’t going to happen. I wasn’t fetching money to the table,” she said.
She later added that she felt Rachel was not a “team player”. Fiona said: “I wasn’t delighted to be leaving, but I was really the master of my own downfall because I needed to confront Rachel just to be sure in my own mind that she was a team player and not playing singularly.
“I suspected that when there was the end game, that I would be thrown under the bus, not by Stephen, but by Rachel. Rachel is phenomenal but she started playing this game the minute she was selected.
“She was amazing, I’ve got so much respect for that woman. But I felt that when somebody mentioned Stephen, she didn’t challenge their decision. So straight away I thought, she’s a lone wolf here, and if she’s going to get rid of somebody from the turret, it will be me.”
