The Traitors has taken the UK by storm as its “family tree” connections continue to emerge, now Stephen Libby and Matthew Hyndman have revealed whether they knew each other before entering the castle. The former cyber security officer recalled trying to “pray the gay away” while growing up on the Isle of Lewis. The creative director previously shared his experience of conversion practices in a 2021 op-ed for The Independent. He ultimately left the religious group, avoiding conversion therapy, and now, as an out and proud gay man, has co-founded Ban Conversion Practices – a UK-wide coalition campaigning against anti-LGBTQ+ agendas.
