The Traitors Ireland winner Diego has revealed the moment he realised Pauric O was a Traitor, saying Pete's banishment finally confirmed his suspicions.
***Spoiler Alert. This article contains details from the final of The Traitors Ireland.***
Speaking on to Kevin McGahern on The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked after Tuesday night's finale, Diego said he had begun to questions Pauric O after Kayleigh was murdered and failed to appear at breakfast.
"I was like, why is Pauric still here?" he said.
"He was so influential. He was just circulating to all the groups. And then that's when my suspicion started."
Diego said he still had doubts about Pete and needed to establish whether he could be a Traitor.
That changed when Pete was banished and revealed himself to be a Faithful.
"When he stood up and said, 'I am a Faithful,' I went, 'O my God, it's Pauric!'" Diego said.
He said he had to hide the fact that he had worked it out as the game moved towards its conclusion.
Diego, who went on to win the season alongside fellow Faithful Anna, also said being underestimated had helped him throughout his time in the castle.
"I knew going into the game, I tend to be underestimated because I'm not an alpha character," he said.
"People kind of enjoy me, but I'm not imposing anything. But yet I'm still observing.
"I analyse, and then I think I was more calculated than reacting by emotions. So that's I think what helped me."
Anna said she could hardly believe she had made it to the end of the game.
"Oh God, I thought I was going to drop," she said of the final stages.
"Everything and anything was going through my head. You're just so paranoid the entire time, and then when you finally get to the end, it's kind of like, how am I still standing here?"
She added: "I didn't expect to last the first week, let alone to the very end."
Diego had entered the castle alongside his husband Denis, with the couple keeping their 11-year marriage secret from their fellow players.
Denis, who was murdered by the Traitors earlier in the game, also appeared on Uncloaked following the final.
After previously joking about Diego's gameplay, he told his husband: "I've been saying it a lot for the past 11 years, but Gigi, you're always right."
Anna and Diego won the second season after Carl and Pauric O were banished during Tuesday night's finale.
The pair shared the €45,850 prize pot, taking home €22,925 each.
