Tom Daley cheekily flashed his washboard abs and mocked Kate Garraway’s iconic Celebrity Traitors catchphrase in a sizzling new Instagram post.
The retired diver, 31, who was ‘murdered’ on the hit BBC show during Wednesday evening’s episode, posed shirtless for the clip as he responded to all the buzz over the constant use of the word ‘flabbergasted’ and his brutal ‘murder’.
To kick off the clip, Tom was pretending to leave Ardross Castle – where the show is filmed – with a giant black suitcase whilst sporting an iconic black-and-white faux-fur coat.
He then walked towards the camera, saying: ‘Well, I guess my flabbers were officially gasted’ as he thrust forward his chest, effectively popping open the coat buttons to display his chiselled physique.
The hilarious video comes after The Celebrity Traitors fans pointed out a ‘shocking’ mistake the Traitors made with their latest murder – as Tom also weighed in with his show theory.
In the latest show of the BBC One series, after banishing faithful Niko Omilana in a tense new episode, the trio of Traitors, Alan Carr, 49, Jonathan Ross, 64, and Cat Burns, 25, were seen meeting in the tower to discuss their next victim.

Setting their sights on Olympian Tom, Alan, Jonathan, and Cat admitted they were concerned that where the ‘perceptive’ diver ‘didn’t trust anybody’, he’d be quick to turn his sights on one of them.
After debating whether comedian Joe Wilkinson or presenter Claire Balding would be a better choice, they settled on Tom as they hoped it would avoid putting them on the radar.
The Faithfuls were left shocked at breakfast when he didn’t return, and it was revealed he had been killed, after Tom was issued a note to signal his death the previous night.
Now, fans at home have hit out that they think the Traitors made a big mistake in killing off Tom, after one of the celebrity Faithfuls began pinning the killings on him.
As the death was confirmed by host Claudia Winkleman, Stephen Fry admitted that the sportsman had been ‘next on his list as a Traitor’.
Taking to X, one viewer hit out that a massive mistake had been made, writing: ‘Killing Tom when people thought he was a Traitor is kinda dumb.’
A second agreed: ‘Picking Tom Daley was a mistake. Some of the celebs thought he was a Traitor,’ as a third echoed: ‘He was already under suspicion of being a Traitor.’
However, after his killing, Tom told the BBC how he expected to be a target of the Traitors for a dramatically different reason – because he posed a threat, namely because he was very familiar with the gameshow.

He said: ‘It was so sad when I saw the letter on the chair and I instantly knew I’d been murdered, because we haven’t found a Traitor yet, I thought there’s no way it can be a recruitment.
‘I was firstly sad and then very confused about what The Traitors are doing because I clearly would be someone that would get banished at the Round Table.
‘If any of the Traitors just planted that seed at the Round Table, I’m sure I would be banished.
‘They could have murdered someone that they know would never have gotten banished at the Round Table.
‘Maybe they thought of me as a threat. Maybe I was getting too close to the right answers.’
Tom, who has played the Traitors game at home with his family, continued: ‘Every time I’ve played as a Traitor, no one has detected me.

‘Every time I’ve played as a Faithful, people thought I was a Traitor because I was always trying to figure out who the Traitors were.
‘I can perhaps be a little too vocal with my ideas in pursuit of them, which is exactly what has happened here.’
Tom added on the show: ‘Well, that didn’t take long, did it? I am gutted to be leaving the game – I was murdered because people see me as a threat, and I think they might think I’ll weasel them out eventually.’
The Traitors airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
