A former winner of The Traitors has left people speechless after debuting a “hot” new makeover. Rachel Duffy is best known for being the joint winner of series four of the BBC reality competition The Traitors UK in January 2026, but people can’t get over how different she looks a few months down the line.

The TV favourite, who boasts over 200,000 followers on Instagram, recently posted some super glam snaps and people think she looks amazing. It comes as she got dressed up for a photoshoot, looking super gorgeous, and it’s fair to say the look made people’s jaws drop to the floor.

It comes after she previously opened about a heartbreaking loss. At the time, she claimed she was “getting through it.”

Alongside the pictures, she wrote: “FULL transparency. I was petrified doing this shoot! I mean I couldn’t sleep properly the night before. I even Googled how to pose for a magazine.

“I was so chuffed when @jackmurphyjewellers asked me to be their cover girl for @ulstertatler but it sent me into a spiral of self doubt. They should have asked someone younger, thinner, prettier – all these terrible thoughts that go through our heads when we don’t feel we belong.”

She added: “Some days I have sooooo much confidence in myself and my ability but, on days like this shoot, it was very wobbly! I’m so grateful for the fabulous team at Jack Murphy’s for making me feel at ease, to @gemmamurphyjewel for hyping me up and covering me with the most beautiful diamonds (not to mention doing my zips b/c of my gammy hand), to Charlotte and Tara for being the best wing women and keeping me right and cheering me on behind the camera and to @jamierobb for being so chilled out and making it fun!

“There’s a huge difference between the first shots taken on the day and the last video here. I could have done it all over again.

“Point to my post – I overcame a lot of self doubt on the day and I am beyond happy at how these photos turned out. I’m getting the cover shot printed on my duvet. I’m very proud of myself for pushing through the doubt and encourage you to do the same.

“Here’s to backing ourselves more! A big thank you to @wearonceloved, @salon_602_ and @emzobeauty for making me look so pretty. You’re the best.”
