As The Traitors’ 2026 series nears its conclusion, fans are eager to know what lies ahead for the contestants post-finale. Paul Gorton, a standout from season two, shared his insights on potential future successes for some of the participants. He highlighted Stephen Libby and Matty Hyndman as individuals poised for greater fame beyond the show.
Paul, who gained recognition as a Traitor in the penultimate week of the second series, has since ventured into various television appearances, including Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, Celebrity Mastermind, and Morning Live. He is also set to collaborate with Vernon Kay on a new BBC daytime program titled Do You Know Your Place. Notably, other contestants such as Harry Clark, Mollie Pearce, Minah Shannon, and Francesca Rowan-Plowden have secured roles in television and radio post-The Traitors.
When contemplating the future career paths of The Traitors participants, Paul emphasized his belief that Stephen and Matty have promising prospects in the realm of content creation, an arena where influencers can achieve substantial success. Commenting on their visually appealing Instagram profiles, Paul expressed confidence in their potential to excel in this domain rather than pursuing traditional presenting roles. He cited examples like “Angry Ginge” to underscore the financial opportunities in content creation.
Furthermore, Paul envisioned Stephen and Matty delving into documentary filmmaking, drawing from their personal journeys. Stephen’s struggles with his sexuality on the Isle of Lewes and Matty’s advocacy against conversion therapy could serve as compelling narratives for future projects. Paul speculated that their experiences with religion could provide a poignant angle for potential documentary endeavors.
Despite singling out Stephen and Matty, Paul acknowledged the transformative impact of the current series on multiple contestants, noting the significant growth in their social media following. He highlighted the contestants’ vibrant personalities as assets that could attract diverse opportunities in the entertainment industry, wishing them success akin to his and Harry Clark’s post-show experiences.
As The Traitors continues to captivate audiences, the prospect of newfound stardom awaits many contestants, setting the stage for a promising future for these emerging talents.
