Each week the show’s Scottish host adds to the drama with his elaborate tartan outfits – a fashion historian gives his verdict on their faithfulness
in an early episode of the TV show The Traitors US. The outfit in question? A navy and green tartan suit teamed with a neon green knitted tie and a gold and green sparkly brooch.
The premise for the show is simple – 20 contestants undertake a series of team challenges to earn money for a prize pot that will be split at the end of the game. The twist is that among the players are three “traitors”, whose job is to murder one player each night. The others, dubbed “faithfuls”, must try to identify who the traitors are. If a traitor makes it to the final, they scoop the whole prize fund.
In a promotional shot for the show, Cumming is pictured sitting on a leather Chesterfield chair in a red and green tartan suit surrounded by the contestants. MacDonald says the print is based on the Royal Stewart tartan. First referenced in 1850, it’s the official tartan of the royal family. “There’s a version of it called Grey Stewart. Here they’ve replaced the grey with red.
Cumming comes from Aberfeldy, in Highland Perthshire, west of Dundee. Was MacDonald surprised to see him wear so much non-authentic tartan? “Not at all. In some ways it makes more sense. If they had chosen a tartan not associated with his name, then people would have questioned that.”

Prime Minister’s alcohol restrictions are ‘Band-Aids on a bullet wound’Sky News host Peta Credlin says the “low order” alcohol restrictions announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for Alice Springs are “Band-Aids on a bullet wound”. She said Alice Springs has gone backwards and it looks more like a “war-torn place” from overseas than somewhere in Australia. “Problem drinkers in places like Alice, black or white, should not be able to purchase booze anytime,” she said. “Not just on Monday and Tuesday but not on any day of the week. “And the police presence on the ground must be boosted in places like Alice so that people can get on with their lives without fear of home invasions, ram raids and random assaults in the street.”
