The Traitors star Stephen Libby has packed up that vintage wardrobe to head stateside to the Academy Awards, after launching his ITV career.
The 32-year-old has been offering fashion takes on This Morning in recent months, after walking home one half of the winning traitorous two on the BBC game of wink murder, which saw him pocket £47,875
Presenting alongside Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, the former cybersecurity expert will now be working with ITV’s daytime show to beam in from the Oscars red carpet.
He will also be on the red carpet at Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party, one of several exclusive showbiz parties to cap off the biggest night in the film industry.
Stephen told The Sun: ‘I’ve just been having the best time working with the team at This Morning lately, from hosting fashion that I adore to now covering the buzz of the Oscars is just mind-blowing!
‘I can’t wait to show viewers what I’ve been getting up to here in LA.’
ITV bosses have reportedly flown him out to Los Angeles, where he will be touring a range of costumes nominated for gongs on the big night, for a segment in the show.

Stephen started helming fashion segments on the show in February, having spoken publicly about his decision to leave his day job from before his winning stint in the castle.
He told the BBC: ‘This is an opportunity to take a wee break and that really is all it is. I want to relax for a bit and give myself a bit of time.
‘I would love to just make sure that in the future I’m doing something that genuinely makes me happy. I’ve never hated my job in cyber security, but it’s not something that I feel passionate about.’
He added: ‘I’ve lots of things I feel passionate about, and I would be a very lucky boy if I could work in one of those areas, because it’s not something everyone gets to do.’
When we last caught up with Stephen, he hadn’t received the prize pot into his bank account yet, but he did have an idea of how he wanted to spend it.
He told Metro: ‘My partner and my parents have just been such a rock because our lives have been so strange for the last 12 months, almost, going through all emotions.
‘I would love to give them a little holiday, a wee break and relax, because I’ve put them through the wringer.’
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am.
