Jack Butler, a finalist on "The Traitors" series 4, revealed that producers had to intervene and calm him down after his intense reaction to being banished. He described being "absolutely steaming" and "so angry" in the ten minutes following his banishment by fellow finalists Rachel Duffy and his ally Stephen Libby.

Jack explained that he was "pulled into a room with the producers and I was calmed down a little bit," before shifting his focus to returning home to his family. He acknowledged the psychological nature of the game and praised the strategic performances of Stephen and Rachel, stating they "absolutely deserved it" and he was "genuinely really happy for both of them." Despite not winning the £95,750 prize money, Jack, a personal trainer, later proposed to his girlfriend Kay during a trip to Santorini.

He detailed a near-disaster during the proposal due to severe motion sickness on a boat tour, but ultimately succeeded, and plans to invite his "Traitors" co-stars, including Rachel and Stephen, to his wedding. The series finale achieved significant viewership, with an average of 9.4 million viewers and a peak of 9.6 million, marking the highest overnight audience for the civilian version of the show.
