The Traitors winners reveal plans to spend £100k prize from a career change to travel

The winners of The Traitors have revealed how they plan on splashing their £100k prize money.

Meryl Williams, Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski successfully unmasked the contestants playing "Traitors" in last night's final of the BBC show.

They won £101,050 and have huge plans of how they plan on spending their third of the cash (£33k).

Aaron, who works as a property agent, says he plans on putting a chunk of the money to help his mum buy a house.

After winning he explained: "I think I’ve said this the whole way through, but I’ll be putting down a chunk of it for a deposit on my mum’s house."

He told the show's host Claudia Winkleman that his win "hadn't really sunk in", during a post-victory chat.

"I didn’t really know how to feel at that point in time, but I think you can see by my reactions on the show, I was just overwhelmed. It was crazy," he continued.

"I might make a career change. I might do a little travel. I’d like to try doing new things. I feel like the money gives me a bit of a safety blanket to take some time out and try new things," she explained.

Meryl, who has dwarfism, said: "I think I am the first person with my condition to win a reality show which I’m so delighted about. Overall, I can’t believe it. I still genuinely can’t believe it. I feel very grateful. I feel ecstatic."

Hannah, who works as a comedian, didn't specify what she was going to spend her winnings on, but she described it as "life-changing".

She admitted that she was suffering from impostor syndrome and said: "'I felt like a complete and utter intruder. Like someone had got it wrong. Like someone was going to turn round any second and say no, sorry we messed it up."

The show captivated audiences as they watched a group of 22 people undergo challenges.

The show saw the group secretly split into two teams: Traitors and Faithfuls.

None of the Faithfuls knew who the traitors were, so it was up to them to try to identify them and kick them out of the game.

Like a murder mystery party, the Traitors worked together and decide who to "murder".

The next morning when the group met for breakfast - the "murdered" player wouldn't be there.

Later in the day, the group would then gather around the "Round Table" and would decide who they thought was a Traitor.
