'I'm going back to selling phones' - Traitors star
BBCWarning: This article contains spoilers for series three of The Traitors
A contestant who was banished from the castle in Friday's episode of TV show The Traitors has said he has gone back to selling mobile phones.
Leon Jackman, from Ilkeston, in Derbyshire, appeared in the third series of the show, which has had many people gripped for the last few weeks.
The reality game show sees "faithful" contestants trying to work out who the "traitors" are in their midst.
Mr Jackman said he has had a lot of attention at the mobile phone shop he works in since the show aired, but added: "I'm still just a humble guy who normally sells mobile phones."
He told the BBC that at work, people have been requesting video messages and asking who won, and one said they were surprised to see him still selling mobile phones.
Mr Jackman said: "The weirdest one was when someone said 'you came across really well, amazing, but why are you still here?'
"I always said to my boss when I got on to the show... 'I am coming back to sell phones'.
"All I know is to make sure I have money to pay my mortgage and my family is fine.
"If an opportunity comes, that's a different scenario altogether, but I didn't come on to this gameshow thinking it would make me a superstar, but it's so nice for people to come and tell me that I am."
Talking about the competition, he said: "The game is so hard. There are no hard feelings with any of the cast – you've got to do what you've got to do.
"I try to be true to me.
"With some of the feedback I have had, I am glad that came across – that I was myself.
"But the game is stressful."
He added he was happy he was a "faithful" because that was what his son wished for, and he wanted to do him proud.
"My youngest son is autistic, and that was the first programme he watched with me and my wife," he said.
"One day, he took his headphones off and got into the show. I thought 'this is amazing – we are watching something as a family'.
"I was happy because I was playing the role he wanted me to play."
