If you thought The Traitors was just a game of lies, deceit, and late-night plotting, think again. Season 4 isn’t just serving drama—it’s serving seriously hot queer contestants who are here to steal your hearts (and maybe your trust). Enter Stephen Libby and Matthew Hyndham, two men who prove that scheming can be sexy.

Stephen Libby: The Cybersecurity Casanova
At 32, London-based Stephen Libby isn’t your average Traitor. By day, he’s a cybersecurity consultant, protecting the digital world; by night (well, and sometimes Instagram), he’s captivating fans with his topless gym selfies and playful charm. Born on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, Stephen prepared for this game like a true strategist—he watched every iteration of The Traitors before stepping into the Scottish Highlands.

And yes, Stephen is queer, joining fellow LGBTQ+ contestant Matthew to represent the community this season. Off-screen, he’s dating Daniel, an actor, writer, and painter, and regularly posts swoon-worthy photos with him on Instagram. Stephen keeps active, hitting the gym daily and flexing the muscles he honed as a competitive gymnast, making him one of the most athletic and Instagrammable Traitors we’ve ever seen.

Matthew Hyndham: The Naked Headstand Heartthrob
If Stephen is the calculated, sexy schemer, Matthew Hyndham is the wild, artistic firecracker. At 35, this Northern Ireland native (now living in Edinburgh) is not only a Traitor on the show, he’s also a creative director with a seriously cheeky side hustle.

He even runs a dedicated Instagram account, @headstandmatty, which has almost 17,000 followers, where fans can drool over his daring artistry. Meanwhile, his The Traitors account, @yermatty, keeps things under wraps while he’s scheming on-screen.

He’s engaged to his partner, and openly talks about his love story and his history campaigning for marriage equality in Northern Ireland. His ultimate fantasy if he wins? A cozy Highland cottage and a wedding on his family farm. Romantic and scandalous—Matthew truly delivers.

Together, Stephen and Matthew are proving that being a Traitor never looked this good. One’s a strategic mind with a chiseled physique; the other’s an artistic daredevil with an eye-popping body and playful attitude. Fans online are already reacting with squeals, thirst, and serious plotting of their own: “This is literally the gay nuclear bomb we didn’t know we needed,” one fan wrote.
Season 4 of The Traitors also adds a hidden fourth Traitor, keeping both contestants and audiences on edge. Will these two hotties stick together as fellow schemers, or is there room for a little betrayal… and maybe some flirting too?
