Traitors star Jessie Stride has sparked a flurry of memes following her “iconic” statement in last night’s show.

Jessie left fans in fits of giggles after sussing that Stephen Libby is one of this year’s cloaked players.

The hairdresser’s sudden epiphany came while standing in the breakfast room alone.

Looking at the cast portraits, she suddenly twigged that Stephen had successfully plotted to get Ross banished from the game.

Jessie said to herself, “Ross, mate, you were stitched up”, before gasping: “It’s Stephen. It’s Stephen!”

She then had the nation roaring with her next comment.

Shaking her head as her fellow contestants made their way towards the room, Jessie muttered: “And here they all come to chat a load of (bleep).”

The Faithful’s remark wasn’t intended to be witty, but viewers at home have deemed it worthy of all these cracking memes.

Here’s our favourite:

1. We’ve all been there

2. A real turn off

3. For those in education

4. Every four years

5. Crisp and concise

6. A real life Velma

7. Words of a winner?

Jessie is fast becoming a favourite with viewers of The Traitors.

Another fan remarked on X: “If we get stand out stars from this series, PLEASE let that cohort include Jessie.”

Someone else demanded: “Protect Jessie at all costs.”

And one viewer concluded: “Jessie figuring out Stephen’s game, an under-appreciated genius.”

Do you agree?
