Britney Spears's former partner Sam Asghari faced probing questions about the pop icon on The Traitors US, but the 30-year-old model kept tight-lipped.
Despite their 14-month marriage ending in divorce last year, Asghari declined to reveal whether Britney watches The Real Housewives when asked by Chanel Ayan, a fellow model and star of The Real Housewives Of Dubai.
He said: "I'm going to keep that to myself."
The American version of the show, now in its third season, pits "faithful" players against "traitors" who aim to claim a prize of up to $250,000 (£195,785).
In the latest episode, TV personality Robyn Dixon quizzed Sam during their journey to The Traitors castle, asking: "Sam I have to ask, are you connected to Britney Spears? " Sam confirmed: "Yes, we were married for a while."
This sparked further curiosity. The Iranian-born actor tied the knot with Britney in an extravagant ceremony at her Los Angeles residence in June 2022, having first met on the set of the Slumber Party music video in 2016. Their nuptials boasted a guest list of A-listers including Madonna, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, and Paris Hilton, reports the Mirror.
In a recent episode of The Traitors, former wrestler Nikki Garcia and The Bachelor's Gabby Windey revealed to a surprised Carolyn Wiger, known for Survivor, "That's Britney's ex". "Sam, in the pink. I first thought he was Davide from Love Island," Garcia commented, referring to Davide Sanclimenti who won the eighth season of the ITV show with Ekin-Su Culculoglu in 2022.
During the same episode, the contestants wondered how they would recognise Lord Ivar Mountbatten - the son of the late Marquess of Milford Haven, who was the first cousin of the late Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen's husband. The 61-year-old said: "I was born with a very nice last name. Mountbatten. It's one of the royal family's surnames. Harry and Meghan's children are called Mountbatten.
"The King is my second cousin. I was married to a woman for 17 years, had three kids and then we parted company. And then I married a bloke and because I've got a famous last name it was all over the newspapers."
