Traitors star James Baker has quietly shared the emotional tribute he made to a close friend who died before filming began.
James, who is currently appearing as a Faithful on The Traitors, carried the loss of his loved one with him throughout the series.
The professional gardener has even paid a secret tribute to her on the show.
While he did not speak about it on screen, James has now admitted his sadness at not being able to share his “bonkers adventure” with her.
He also revealed the quiet homage he paid without viewers realising.
The Traitors James’s future on the show
James shared the story in a heartfelt Instagram post that marked the first time he publicly mentioned her death.
He posted a photo of himself at the Round Table wearing a T-shirt covered in guitar prints, which he paired with a yellow checked shirt on the show.
Alongside the picture, James wrote: “For those of you who know me and my family…
“This T-shirt was given to me by a truly incredible human being, who was taken from us far, far too soon.
“As truly heartbreaking as it is that she never got to share this bonkers adventure which she’d have bloody loved, I was glad to carry a little piece of her along with me for the ride.”
