In the latest episode of BBC's The Traitors, one contestant shared a bizarre experience they had with the police. It seems that even off-screen, the drama continues for these treacherous players.
During a round table discussion on the show, Fiona, who is 62 years old, joked about "shoplifting in Marks". Little did she know that this joke would become a reality for her. She revealed to presenter Ed Gamble on The Traitors: Uncloaked that she had encountered the police after making a seemingly innocent request.
Fiona had asked for a "burner phone" at a local shop, but this request led to two police officers showing up at the scene. It was a misunderstanding that caused confusion and suspicion among the authorities. As Ed and Fiona discussed the possibility of her gaining fame after the show, she shared that her son was managing her Instagram account because she was not tech-savvy.
But it seems that Fiona had not taken the best advice when it came to handling her social media. She had been advised to get a "burner phone" instead of using her own mobile device. And that's exactly what she did. However, this led to a sticky situation for her.
Fiona explained that she thought only "drug addicts and gun dealers" used burner phones, but her advisor insisted that she needed one. So, she went into a local shop and asked for one. But things took an unexpected turn when the shopkeeper went to get the phone and two police officers arrived.
As the officers questioned Fiona about her request, she couldn't help but feel like she was being set up. But she remained calm and explained that she needed the phone for social media. The officers were still confused and asked why she didn't just ask for a pay-as-you-go phone. It was a comical moment for guests Charlotte Church, Amanda from season one, and Reece from season four.
