Celebrating his win, after hugging host  Claudia Winkleman, Harry said: "My legs are shaking, oh my, oh my, I just won 95 grand.

"Mollie is the reason I am here, I need to gain her trust back, I don't know if that is possible but I need to try.

"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.

"I can't wait to ring them and just say I've won £95k, I feel like I can breathe because I feel like I'm me, I'm Harry again.

"I've had enough of being naughty, of being bad, because that was next level. I'm the best Traitor in the world!"

He was the final Traitor standing after the group correctly voted out Andrew Jenkins, while mistakenly banishing Faithfuls Evie Morrison, and Jaz Singh.

Army engineer Harry was chosen as a Traitor at the beginning of the BBC reality show by Claudia. 

His cunning tactics captivated six million viewers throughout the series, propelling him towards potential fame and fortune. 

In the nerve-wracking finale, set in a Scottish castle after weeks of psychological warfare, the group undertook their final mission to add to the prize pot, and were flown to the Highlands via helicopter.

They were tasked with abseiling down a cliff and swimming through caves to reach a moored ship.

Traitor Andrew, who previously spent five weeks in a coma after being pronounced dead in a horror crash, said after abseiling over sharp rocks in their final mission: "It was quite frightening actually, my legs were upside down, I genuinely thought I was going to die."

The group managed to collect the flags and added £20,000 to the prize pot, with Claudia insisting the final five players were "all spectacular".

That night, they faced the choice of either claiming the cash prize by ending the game or voting to "banish" others in hopes of rooting out Traitors. 

If all Traitors were eliminated, the Faithfuls would share the prize, otherwise, any Traitor left standing would take the cash. 

At a spine-tingling roundtable, they mistakenly voted out Faithful Evie Morrison first and were then allowed to take a break.

Traitor Harry took Mollie to one side in the kitchen, and she told him: "I don't think it's you, and if it is I will literally never speak to you again."

Back at the roundtable the group successfully exposed Traitor Andrew. 

When it came to voting again, Mollie left the group waiting by changing her vote.

Faithful Jaz was subsequently eliminated, despite him trying to convince Mollie that Harry had been lying all along.

Mollie, who had been close to Harry throughout the series, was devastated by Harry's treachery after he admitted that he was a Traitor "since the start."

She burst into tears and ran out of the room. Viewers were not so surprised by the result, but were horrified Mollie's mistake.

One said: "Called that ending. Mollie was naive throughout and couldn’t pick a traitor. Harry played a blinder."

Another said: "Fair play to Harry, he blind a blinder. Can’t believe Mollie was so blind to all of Jazatha Christie’s evidence tho! Open your eyes!"

One more added: "Evie should have listened to Jaz. No. He always looked like a traitor as he was responsible for getting all the traitors out. Well done Harry for fooling the fools and making faithfuls be more traitorous towards each other than traitors."

Initially ridiculed for his enjoyment as a Traitor, Harry became the driving force behind the strategy to eliminate a Faithful each night and manipulate others to banish rivals.
