First look at The Traitors FINAL FIVE after jaw-dropping round table hours before last reckoning
CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN will tonight raise the drawbridge on her castle of chaos for the final time as TV’s The Traitors comes to a sensational close.
Over the past three weeks, viewers have seen 22 strangers engage in psychological warfare as the Faithful weed out the baddies among them, with the hope of securing a prize pot, which stood last night at £75,150.
After a series packed with physical missions, dastardly deeds, “death” and betrayal, Zack Davies, 27, was “murdered” last night — and Jasmine Boatswain, 26, banished.
That leaves Traitors Harry Clark and Andrew Jenkins battling to evade detection, while good guys Jaz Singh, Evie Morrison and Mollie Pearce try to weed them out and steal the gold.
It all comes down to one last round table grilling.
Ahead of the epic finale, which will see the group take to the skies above Inverness in a helicopter, host Claudia explains: “You are going to face your biggest mission yet and the final round table.

"The banishments will continue until you are confident there are no Traitors left. Remember, if there is a Traitor or Traitors left at the end, they take it all.”
The series has gathered a massive following and tonight’s final will be a huge television event.
Overnight ratings have so far topped 4.6million, with millions more expected via catch-up.
Ahead of the final reckoning, the fearless five have shared how they feel about their journeys and divulged what they would spend their loot on . . .
- The Traitors grand final begins on BBC One tonight at 9pm.
Harry Clark
Traitor
BRITISH Army engineer Harry says he has used his tough military training to harden himself against any remorse over flawlessly deceiving other players in the game.
The 22–year-old, from Slough, revealed: “We’re at a stage now, so close to the end, where every single step I make is pulling on my heartstrings more because I have a bond with these people.
“It probably looks like I’ve not felt guilty at all, but 100 per cent I have. I am human, by the way. But I need to disconnect my emotions like I do in the Army. I’ve a job to do and I’m not going down.”
Harry says if he pocketed the winners’ cashpot, he would treat his family to a slap-up meal.
He added: “Being sat there looking at everyone and being able to pay for it would be the best feeling ever.”
Evie Morrison
Faithful
MODEST Evie isn’t looking for fame and fortune from her stint on The Traitors – but she would love to win so she can buy a bigger house with a garden.
The 29-year-old from Inverness still can’t believe she is in the final five.
But she admitted: “I’m actually really proud of the game I’ve played.”
Viewers saw Evie break down in the diary room after the tough penultimate round table.
Revealing she doesn’t know who could be a baddie, the veterinary nurse said: “It could be any of the four of them. I’m thinking about how I don’t trust anybody. I’m so, so nervous but I just need to find my fighting spirit.”
And keeping her eyes on the prize, she added: “With the money I’d just buy a bigger place, I think. We’re in a one-bed flat – two dogs and a missus – so it would be nice to get a garden.”
Mollie Pearce
Faithful
DETERMINED Mollie says being on The Traitors has built her resilience following years of ill health.
The model, from Bristol, was born with missing fingers on her right hand and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when she was 11, resulting in an ileostomy to remove her colon.
She has told her fellow Faithfuls how, until recently, she had at times found herself housebound.
The 21-year-old said: “If I look at myself three years ago, I couldn’t even leave the house at points.
“So to now be here, running around, is crazy.”
Mollie’s biggest barrier to winning will be her blind faith in Traitor Harry.
They have grown close throughout the show and she remains adamant he would not lie to her.
She said: “The only person I fully trust right now is Harry. I’d never forgive myself if we stand there and let a Traitor take the money.”
Jaz Singh
Faithful
JAZ reckons a windfall could be just the boost his loved ones need after they were rocked by a devastating secret.
The 30-year-old account manager, from Manchester, confessed to his co-stars that he had discovered his dad was leading a double life and had a second family he kept hidden for years.
Jaz explained: “That level of betrayal is difficult to experience at a young age, so you start to think, ‘Can you trust people?’. We’re essentially restarting our family from scratch. Now we’re on the up, the money would mean I could rebuild my family. I just want to treat them. They are everything to me.”
One of the series highlights for Jaz has been his nicknames, Jazatha Christie and Sherlock Singh.
And in a last push for victory, he vowed: “I’m going to make sure I do everything I can to catch the Traitors.”
Andrew Jenkins
Traitor
ANDREW says he handles the guilt of betraying his TV pals by remembering he’s doing it for his family.
The insurance broker, who spent nearly five weeks in a coma after being pronounced dead at the roadside in a car smash 23 years ago, says he just wants to secure a “better life” for his loved ones.
Andrew, 45, of Talbot Green, Rhondda, admits: “The weight of the Traitor cloak is heavy. My driving factor is family. Any tough decision, I’m thinking about my partner and our children.”

The dad says he would help fund his son’s travels around Australia, clear debts and support others with physical and mental health setbacks if he won.
He added of his success on the show: “It’s the first time, in probably 20-odd years of my life, I’m proud of something I have achieved. It’s gone past the money, it’s the experiences and getting through it.”
