This article reveals the outcome of the second series of The Traitors.
The BBC’s hit reality series The Traitors concluded on Friday, with traitor Harry Clark scooping the £95,150 prize money.
He and faithful Mollie Pearce were the last remaining players, after both voted to eliminate faithful Jaz Singh.
British army engineer Harry, who had been a traitor since the first episode, said: “My legs are shaking. I just won £95,000.
“I underestimated this massively, you come here and there’s 22 amazing people, and from the off I’ve been a traitor.
He joked: “I’ve had enough of being naughty and being bad, because that was next level.”
As Mollie failed to identify Harry as a traitor despite Jaz voting to banish him, she did not win any of the prize money.
Harry came close to being voted out himself as the final three had a showdown around the fire in the Scottish castle.
Viewers watched as disability model Mollie began to write his name down for banishment, before switching to account manager Jaz.
‘Fair play to him’
After the revelation that Harry was a traitor, Mollie swore and stormed out of the room.
Mollie, who had become close friends with Harry as the series developed, later said: “I put Harry’s name down first, and I looked at it, and I just couldn’t do it, so I changed it.
“He played an excellent game, so fair play to him.”
After his victory, Harry said: “I came here for my family, my loved ones, they’re my motivation.
“They’re the reason I go on in life, and I can’t wait to ring them and be like, I’ve just won £95,000. It makes me excited inside right now.
“I feel I can breathe, because I’m just me again, I’m Harry again.
“My family know I’m a good guy, so to everyone else, if you don’t think I’m a good guy, I promise you I am.”
Referring to fellow finalist Mollie, he said: “She’s crying. Mollie is the reason I’m here. I need to gain her trust back, I don’t know if it’s possible but I’m going to try my hardest.”
This is the first time a traitor has won the British adaptation of the show. In the first series, all the traitors were rooted out and the prize money was split between three faithfuls.
Earlier in the episode, veterinary nurse Evie Morrison was banished at the final roundtable, and revealed that she was a faithful.
Another traitor, insurance broker Andrew Jenkins, was then banished as the remaining four contestants gathered around the fire for the final showdown.
There were six traitors in total throughout the series – but Ross, Paul, Ash and Miles were banished at an earlier stage.
The reality series has been a huge hit for the BBC once again, with several episodes reaching an audience of more than six million, including catch-up.
Over 12 episodes, viewers watched as the faithfuls attempted to work out who the traitors were.
The traitors murdered one of their fellow competitors each night. If a secret traitor remained at the end of the game then they would have scooped the money.
Celebrating with host Claudia Winkleman, he declared: “I’m the best traitor in the world,” before adding: “I hope Mollie didn’t hear that.”
