Stephen Libby, the breakout star and joint winner of The Traitors UK Series 4, is trading Claudia Winkleman's Scottish castle for the glamour of Hollywood.
The stylish Scot, who became known by Traitors fans for his eye-catching jumpsuits and vibrant knitwear, has secured an exciting ongoing role on ITV's This Morning.
He first charmed This Morning viewers with a fashion segment shortly after his Traitors victory in January 2026. Now, the show has elevated him further — ITV bosses have flown him to Los Angeles to cover the 2026 Academy Awards.

Stephen Goes To Hollywood
On Sunday, March 15th, Stephen will report on red carpet fashion at the Oscars ceremony in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and at the iconic Elton John Academy Awards party.
“I’ve just been having the best time working with the team at This Morning lately, from hosting fashion that I adore to now covering the buzz of the Oscars is just mind-blowing! I can’t wait to show viewers what I’ve been getting up to here in LA,” Stephen told The Sun of his new gig.

Stephen’s This Morning Oscars coverage begins on Friday, March 13th, and will continue through the following week.
And that’s not all. A source close to the programme teased that more is on the horizon for the budding presenter: “Stephen has proven very popular with our viewers and has a natural warmth and charm.”
Stephen quit his day job
Stephen quit his job as a cybersecurity consultant shortly before The Traitors Series 4 aired on BBC One in January 2026. On the show, Stephen and fellow player Rachel Duffy became the first pair of Traitors to win together, splitting a prize pot of £95,750.
