THE second contestant to be murdered on The Traitors Ireland admitted he bawled into his mother's arms after getting the boot.

Niall McKeown, 25, from Tyrone, was devastated to be eliminated on the second episode.

The Gaeilgeoir was harshly murdered by the Traitors after he helped bring the team to victory in an Irish language challenge.

Speaking to Oliver Callan on RTE Radio 1, Niall said: “We are in mourning here at the minute.

“I had to get the train home, made it the whole way to the train, got into the car and I wouldn't even call it crying, I was choking on my tears.

“My mother was rubbing my back and she said, ‘Do you think they just couldn't stand the accent and got rid of you?

The school teacher was the only contestant from the North on the show and he worried people might not be able to understand his accent.

However, it was his confidence with the Irish language that seemed to get him the boot.
