All the funny memes from Traitors star Matty's 'blink and you'll miss it' bare chested headstand
Matthew is suddenly front and centre of the castle dramaTraitors star Matty Hyndman has suddenly come into his own on the show – but him sparking a load of headstand memes wasn’t on our bingo card.
Matty – aka Matthew – has hidden in the shadows for most of The Traitors before appearing right in the forefront last week.
In shock scenes, the content creator was given the chance to speak to Traitors Rachel and Stephen in a confession booth.
Matty does not know who they are…but he certainly knows what he wants from them.
The 35-year-old has offered the Traitors a deal; murder fellow Faithful Jessie Stride next and allow him into the Traitor fold.
Viewers of the BBC show were on the edges of their sofas by the cliffhanger.
Will Rachel and Stephen accept his offer? Or will they turn it down?
But this wasn’t the only reason Matty was causing a stir.
In a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moment, he was briefly shown performing a headstand in the castle. Bare chested.
Unsurprisingly, the clip caught the eye of many bemused fans and Matty has now sparked a furry of memes.

The Traitors continues on Wednesday night after what is feeling like a very long wait.
Viewers will finally discover what Rachel and Stephen decide to do with Matty’s ruthless offer. And there are actually several options.
They could turn him down completely. No Traitor status and Jessie lives in the game to see another day.
Secondly, the Traitors could meet all of his demands and ‘seduce’ him into their fold, agreeing to kill off Jessie next.
But there is also the chance they could decline his offer of becoming a Traitor…and then murder Jessie next anyway.
Could you imagine? Ooh, the suspense is killing us!
