The Traitors winner Stephen Libby revealed his secret panic after meeting the other contestants entering the castle.
Stephen, who originally hails from the Isle of Lewis, won the BBC show's fourth series alongside fellow Traitor Rachel Duffy.
Before entering the game, he spoke with production about doing one of the programme's familiar risqué night time shower scenes.
He told Greg James in an interview for Radio 1: 'We theoretically discussed what mine would be. I was asked if I was comfortable doing a shower scene, I said yes.'
Although these plans soon changed, however, after Stephen met his fellow co-stars, before learning that he was to be a Traitor.
He explained: 'This was before I’d met the rest of the cast.

'I saw Jack’s a PT, Ross is a PT, Sam’s absolutely gorgeous, Matty’s absolutely gorgeous.
‘I spoke to the producers and said, “I can’t do a shower scene, I’m really sorry. I’ve just seen the rest of the men in this cast"'.
At this point, Greg, 40, enquired about why the cast take on these shower scenes.
To which Stephen replied: 'I don’t think they push it. But I think if people want to flaunt themselves in that manner, then they’re more than welcome to.'
It was ultimately creative director Matthew Hyndman, 35, who featured in the shower scene.
During the series, the shower scene even became part of a theory to 'work out' who was next to go.
Faithful Matthew was seen lathering up in his room in a cut-scene - and viewers noted in the scenes showing the contestants in their bedrooms while the Traitors discuss who to kill, the usually hunky male in the shower is next to be waving goodbye.
It followed Celebrity Traitors' Tom Daley being shown in the shower during the first season of the spin-off last November, before he became the second person to leave the show.
In relation to Matthew, one fan penned: 'We’ve been given the shower scene in for Matthew. He’s being murdered tonight and I won’t be convinced otherwise.'
Another chimed in to agree: 'Uh oh, the doomed shower shot. I fear Matty is going to die before becoming a Traitor.'
While a third shared: 'Matthew so desperate to become a Traitor has no chance now.'
In this instance, the theory was proven untrue as Matthew was not 'murdered' that night and instead left the game via banishment.
Now, viewers are convinced they have worked out who is 'doomed' to be the next victim of Traitors Stephen and Rachel, after spotting them in the SHOWER
The series ended with Stephen and Rachel becoming the first duo of Traitors to triumph, despite fans being convinced Rachel would betray her friend to secure the entire prize pot.
The pair remained loyal from the very beginning, with Stephen making a selfless decision at the final hurdle despite knowing Jack Butler would vote Rachel out.
Instead, both stuck to a pact they made at the family tree not to turn on each other, and they split the money.
Stephen opened up about his sexuality on the show and said he has been ‘overwhelmed’ by the supportive messages he has received.
‘Always having to hide a part of myself, I think you carry that with you. I was in the closet until I was in my early 20s, and so there is that duality to your personality that you've got to carry with you.
'And I think that maybe helped somewhat in being a traitor because you have to be able to switch between these two people,’ he said.
Reacting to the final scenes and how he came across throughout the series, he added: ‘I'm so happy with how I managed to play the game with my integrity and heart still at the core of everything I did.
‘I'm really proud of myself.’
The Traitors airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
