Spoilers for the latest episodes of The Traitors UK follow.
It was one of the most shocking moments in The Traitors history: Fiona publicly declared war on apparent team-mate Rachel, leading to an intense face-off that ultimately saw the former banished. Now, speaking after her elimination, she's made a brilliant confession about the whole furore.
It all kicked off after Amanda was banished in Thursday night's episode, and Rachel told the group that the ex-Faithful had confessed to being a former detective with the Metropolitan Police, a revelation that left them all shocked.
Fiona, however, declared that she didn't believe it, and - in front of everyone - accused Rachel of making it up... and of being a Traitor. It all led to a nail-bitingly intense moment between the two women in the turret, where Fiona reaffirmed that she didn't trust Rachel one bit.
After an eventful Friday episode that led to Fiona's banishment, the player - who had only just been unveiled as the Secret Traitor - has now made a very cheeky admission on the Traitors Uncloaked podcast.

Speaking to host Ed Gamble, she admitted that she actually never doubted what Rachel was saying about Amanda, and accusing her of lying was all just part of her gameplay.
"No, I knew she was saying the truth. I absolutely knew she was saying the truth and I trusted her explicitly," she said, leaving Ed laughing.
"However, I'd had my suspicions on Rachel," she added. "I thought that if anybody's going to throw me under the bus, it's going to be Rachel.
"If you play poker and you have a rubbish hand, you're not going to keep putting money in the kitty, you throw the hand down. And I thought that's what I'm going to do here. I'm going to throw a grenade in the room and let's see who comes out of it unscathed.
"It had to be done, I think. It would have been lovely for the three Celts to have made it to the end, but it was never going to happen."

Despite their rivalry on the show, Fiona lavished praise on her co-star and said that - away from the game - she's actually a big fan.
"Rachel is canny. She's going to be the queen of Ireland," she said. "She's an amazing player, absolutely amazing, and I love Rachel to bits. But I'd seen that Rachel was the danger to me - or I'd felt [it]. And I always go with my gut, so I listen."
Tonight's episode ended with yet another intense cliffhanger, as Faithful Matthew made a desperate offer to the Traitors: murder Jessie next, and recruit him to their team after that.
What will Rachel and Stephen do with that offer? We've got a long wait ahead for the answer.
The Traitors airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
