Watch the hilarious moment The Traitors fans think ‘pantomime villain’ Linda let one slip during Claudia Winkleman chat
VIEWERS were left giggling after Wednesday night’s episode of The Traitors – after catching the moment when they reckon contestant Linda accidentally let one slip.
Even worse, it came during an intense chat with host Claudia Winkleman on the beloved BBC show.
After joining Linda and fellow Traitor Minah in the turret, Claudia shared a joke with the “surviving and thriving” pair, before getting down to business.
“Now Traitors…” she began.
“I have some rather exciting news”.
As the camera panned back, a noise that sounded suspiciously like a fart appeared to come from underneath retired opera singer Linda’s hooded cloak.
“Did Linda just (fart)?” one person asked in a video on TikTok.
To which hundreds of people responded admitting they’d heard the noise as well.
“Oh my god, I thought it was my dad and I just didn’t say anything!” one laughed.
“Yeeees I was like, what, did I just hear that?” another added.
“I thought i was the only one who noticed!” a third admitted.
“I HEARD THIS TOO,” someone else said.
“Struggling to hold that one in,” another laughed.
But others said they’d thought the noise had come from somewhere else.
“I thought she said ‘do you?’ just very quietly, you can see her mouth move,” one wrote.
“I thought that was her saying ‘ooh’, you can see her mouth move at the same time,” another added.
“I think they would have edited that out,” a third laughed.
Linda is emerging as a firm favourite on this year’s series, although people are wondering just how much longer she will last before the Faithfuls figure out her treacherous identity.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
One of the most iconic lines on Wednesday night’s show came from Linda, who tried to make the others think that Anna was one of the Traitors due to how she’d tied up the boat after an earlier mission.
Anna poked fun at the situation with a video of herself dancing around on TikTok, to which someone wrote: “Linda CAME for you girly!”
“YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A SAILOR TO TIE A ROPE…SORRY, too iconic to hate tbf, gotta love her,” Anna replied.
“I’m sorry but Linda’s line had me cackling,” another added.
“She’s so sassy!”
With Anna responding: “I’d be fuming but she comes our with such dramatic statements you can’t help but absolutely crease yourself!
“She’s a pantomime villain, I’m obsessed.”
