THE Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney has told how he could barely eat while being on the show because he was under intense stress.

The nation was plunged into mourning after “The Paudfather” was the latest player to be banished from the show after the faithfuls discovered he was a traitor.

Speaking to presenter Dermot Whelan on The Oliver Callan Show on Wednesday, 68-year-old retired prison guard Paudie said he was “very disappointed” for his reign as a Traitor to finally come to an end after he was banished from Slane Castle in Tuesday night's episode.

“I was disappointed of course,” he said.

“I know it's not impossible, you can survive from start to finish as a Traitor, but it's very hard. I got a good run and I was happy with that, to be honest.”

Paudie told Kevin McGahern on Uncloaked: “It may have been a nervous kind of a thing. It may have been, I don't know. I will tell you though, I wasn't eating.

“I genuinely couldn't eat the breakfast. I think I ate a croissant one morning. I ate the whole croissant instead of just picking it at the breakfast table.
