The Traitors winner Stephen Libby has a surprise reunion with Claudia Winkleman as he bumps into her filming The Piano at Liverpool Station

Stephen Libby, who won The Traitors, unexpectedly ran into host Claudia Winkleman at Liverpool Station on Thursday while she was filming the new series of The Piano.

As well as hosting the BBC hit show, Claudia fronts Channel 4’s The Piano. 

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always excited about unique talent showcases, and this one is truly special! The show takes incredibly talented amateur pianists and puts them to the test – literally in some of the UK’s busiest train stations, like London St Pancras and Glasgow Central. The goal? To perform live for commuters and earn a spot in a grand finale concert. It’s a high-pressure, amazing opportunity for these musicians!

Stephen, 32, posted a selfie on Instagram with Claudia, 54, joking that she was an unexpected person to see during his commute.

After winning on the popular BBC show, Stephen decided to leave his job in cyber security to focus on a career in entertainment.

He managed to remain a hidden Traitor for an unusually long time on the show, even though he had a few close calls.

Earlier this month, it was revealed Claudia was back for the fourth series alongside Mika. 

Mika will join forces with a number of other faces to judge the musicians. 

Tiffany Poon will be joining the team at Birmingham New Street Station. Jools Holland will be at London Bridge station, and Jamie Cullum will meet them both at Glasgow Central station.

Hiromi, the composer, will be judging performances at York station, and Alice Sara Ott will appear on the Manchester Piccadilly episode.

And fans will be happy to know that old judge Jon Batiste will return to our screens as well. 

Claudia has been part of the show since it premiered. 

Her new talk show had a strong start, attracting 200,000 more viewers than Graham Norton’s show when it premiered on Friday night.

BBC executives were delighted with Claudia’s debut episode. A source revealed she’s a natural on screen and the show performed very well in its first outing.

I truly believe she’s destined for great things! This isn’t just a goal for her, it’s a deep passion, and she’s completely dedicated to making it a reality. She’s the type of person who won’t let anything stand in her way, and I’m excited to watch her succeed.

Her show is performing better than Graham’s, which wasn’t surprising since it’s her first one. Ideally, though, both of their shows would be equally successful.

Claudia left her role of hosting Strictly Come Dancing after 11 years to launch her chat show.
