Rodger Corser has been pictured looking on edge at a driving range following news that Gretel Killeen would be filling his boots as The Traitor’s new host.
In July, a TV insider claimed that the Aussie media star was quietly ‘let go’ by Channel Ten last year after helming the reality series between 2022 and 2023.
Now, new pictures of the 52-year-old, taken after his replacement was revealed, seem to suggest that he was blindsided by the hosting switch-up.
Rodger — who has now made the move to Channel 7 — could be seen wearing a black Adidas singlet with matching black shorts in the snaps.
He paired the sporty ensemble with black Under Armour sneakers, an LA-embossed hat and dark sunglasses.
Rodger was joined by his two boys, Budd, 15, and Dustin, 10, at the Sydney driving range as he hit some golf balls and answered what looked like a serious call.

The Aussie star appeared stressed and rigid as he spoke on the phone to the mystery caller.
The outing came shortly after it was announced by Channel Ten that veteran host Gretel Killeen was the new face of The Traitors.
The former Big Brother presenter will lead the third season of the series, which is currently being filmed in New Zealand.
Channel Ten shared the exciting announcement to social media on Sunday, alongside a photo of a radiant-looking Gretel.
‘The Traitors is returning to 10 with Aussie legend Gretel Killeen as host!’ they began.
They then revealed when fans could expect to see the upcoming season.
‘Dust off your cloaks, trusty Traitors, and prepare to bury the hatchet… in your closest ally’s back. #TheTraitors Australia. Coming to @Channel10AU in 2026.’
Gretel shared her excitement about the role in a statement.

‘As a writer and performer, I love a new experience. Hosting The Traitors gives me permission to explore an alternate version of myself, full of challenging mischief.’
Meanwhile, Tamara Simoneau, Vice President, Content, Paramount Australia, expressed how delighted they were to be working with Gretel.
‘There is no one better to bring it to life than the OG of groundbreaking, buzz-worthy reality shows, Gretel Killeen,’ they said.
‘We are assembling a brilliant cast of the most cunning and clever Aussies, but Gretel is poised to take them on a ride that’ll test them like never before. Audiences are going to be on the edge of their seats.’
