The Traitors star Jack Marriner-Brown has celebrated his first time presenting a live segment on BBC Morning Live.
The 25-year-old rose to fame on the BBC murder mystery gameshow last year, but only lasted on our screens for a few short minutes after he sacrificed himself in the first episode, saving the other players by removing himself from the train to the Scottish castle.
Not long later, Jack and his two fellow Faithfuls, Alexander Dragonetti and Fozia Fazil, were dangled in cages during a challenge, but Yorkshire-based market trader and landscaper Jack failed to convince the other players to save him and was ultimately banished from the game.
However, Jack has found fame after his experience on the show and presented his first pre-recorded Morning Live segment in February, a month after The Traitors aired.
He's now shared a clip showing off his skills on live TV, writing on Instagram: "Love to everyone involved @bbcmorninglive."

His cast members rushed to support him, with Freddie Fraser writing: "Well, in bro."
Tyler Smith said: "Smashing it, my bro, miss you mate."
Lisa Coupland added: "This is great, Jack."
Meanwhile, when the clip was shared on Reddit, several fans expressed their surprise at Jack's new role, while others urged him to be included in a future season of The Traitors.
One wrote: "Good for him. Was very harshly done by in the game."
Another said: "I still think he should be on season 4."

"I'd unironically be for bringing him back and giving him a second shot," a third said.
Before his short-lived Traitors fame, Jack had previously starred in front of cameras, with fans spotting him in an ad for Luton Airport Express.
In the 30-second advert, Jack was among several actors performing a rap about the benefits of the Luton Airport Express, wearing a white bucket hat and raving about the cheap cost of the train.
"I have secretly trained as an actor. I moved to London when I was 18, moved away from Yorkshire, and I didn't really tell too many of my family and friends that that's what I was going to do," he had previously said, ahead of The Traitors airing.
"I think I can kind of play it a little bit dumb, maybe act like the ditzy gardener and landscaper who secretly has his own agenda, and hopefully a couple of acting skills to back that up."
The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
