The third series of The Traitors has been won after a nail-biting conclusion. The finale saw faithfuls Francesca Rowan-Plowden, Alexander Dragonetti, Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown go up against traitor Charlotte Berman. After weeks of challenges, murders, roundtables and banishments, the final prize fund stood at £94,600 after the last challenge of the series. Ex-soldier Leanne and project manager Jake were the final two and split the money after revealing they were both faithfuls. Leanne squealed and thanked Jake “for not letting me down”. Jake said: “I feel like my body feels like it’s going to collapse but I’m just so happy.” The final roundtable was different from previous years in that players who were banished did not reveal whether or not they were a traitor or a faithful as they left. That meant the remaining contestants had to rely solely on their instincts about whether or not there were any traitors left in the game. A late twist this year saw Francesca become “the seer”, a power that enabled her to find out the true status of one other contestant. Unfortunately for Charlotte, the last remaining traitor, Francesca chose her, and was able to find out her fellow player was not the faithful she had assumed. The finale comes after a phenomenally successful series for the BBC, which has been watched by an audience of more than nine million, a figure which will rise as more viewers catch up. That places this series above the previous two and makes The Traitors one of the biggest hits currently on British television.
