Fiona, a standout contestant from the hit show *The Traitors*, found herself facing a surprising interrogation – not from her fellow players, but from actual police officers.
The incident stemmed from a seemingly harmless attempt to navigate the complexities of newfound fame and social media. She’d been advised to protect her privacy in a rather unconventional way.
“Somebody told me not to have it [social media] on my own mobile phone, but to get a burner phone,” Fiona explained, recounting the story with amusement. She initially believed these phones were exclusively used by those involved in illicit activities.
Despite her reservations, she followed the advice and entered a local shop, directly requesting a “burner phone” from the shopkeeper. Unbeknownst to her, this simple request would trigger an unexpected response.
While the shopkeeper went to retrieve the phone, two police officers arrived on the scene, immediately questioning Fiona about her unusual request. They needed to understand why she wanted such a device.
“Yes, the man’s gone out the back to get it,” she reportedly replied, calmly confirming her purchase. Her explanation – that it was for managing social media – only deepened the officers’ confusion.
The officers were puzzled by her terminology, suggesting she simply needed a pay-as-you-go phone. The situation was so bizarre, the show’s host joked that someone was clearly trying to “set her up.”
Fiona, known for her surprising gameplay on *The Traitors*, playfully defended herself, questioning whether she truly *looked* like someone who would need a burner phone. Her fellow guests couldn’t help but agree – she didn’t fit the profile.
The story highlights the unexpected challenges of navigating modern life, even for those who unexpectedly find themselves in the public eye. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the simplest solutions can lead to the most complicated situations.
