World's strongest man Tom Stoltman makes surprise appearance on hit TV show

the world’s strongest man Tom Stoltman made a surprise appearance on a hit TV show.

Viewers sat down to watch episode six of The Traitors on the BBC, unaware the Scots strongman, 30, was on their screens.

The Highland champion even put his strength to good use as he swapped his strongman gear for a very different look.

The contestants gathered in a clearing during the show to find host Claudia Winkleman being carried by two cloaked figures.

She was on the shoulders of the giant pair, who were leather masks and brown robes with chains around their waists.

The sinister setting was enough to creep out the contestants.

But Stoltman, who also goes by ‘The Albatross’, decided to reveal to fans his part in the show.

He took to social media to let fans know he was behind the mask of one of the towering cloaked figures.

Stoltman posted images of him in his Traitors getup on his Facebook page.

He said: “New job. Did anybody recognise me?”

The Traitors has become a huge hit on the BBC and has had viewers gripped since it first aired.

It is filmed at Ardross Castle in the Highlands, not far from Tom’s home town of Invergordon.

Another added: 2did wonder if it was you, nobody else in this area tall enough!”

A third replied: “Yes, I spotted you a mile away.”

While a fourth wrote: “It could only be you.”
