All the previous winners of The Traitors
There were multiple winners in the 2023 series of The Traitors as comedian Hannah Byczkowski, call centre agent Meryl Williams and property agent Aaron Evans took home the prize.
The trio split the prize pot of £101,050, and they all had different plans for spending their winnings.
Hannah said she would spend her prize money on a car to travel to and from London and Stoke-on-Trent for her gigs, while Meryl said she would be spending her money on changing her career path from her call centre job in the hope of becoming a TV presenter.
Aaron said he had given his winnings to his mother so she could put a deposit on a house.
Series two’s winner was British Army engineer Harry Clarke from Slough in Berkshire.
Clarke, who was 23 years old at the time of the show, took home the whole £95,150 prize pot.
He deceived disability model Mollie Pearce, 21, into thinking he was a fellow faithful when he was really a traitor.
