Leanne and Jake discuss the intense paranoia they faced post-show, revealing their challenges in keeping the finale a secret.
Holywell: So, after winning The Traitors, Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown opened up about the crazy paranoia they felt. Can you believe they had to keep everything under wraps for months? It must have been tough!
They won a nice chunk of change, £47,300 each, but the journey to get there was wild. They had to outsmart everyone, including Traitor Charlotte Berman, who got voted out in a dramatic twist. Talk about a nail-biter!
Leanne, a former army officer, shared how overwhelmed she felt after the show. She even joked about using some of her winnings for a wedding ring for her partner, Sophie. They’ve been together for six years and are now engaged!
Leanne also mentioned wanting to expand their family, especially after their tough IVF journey. It’s heartwarming to see how much she values family time. She’s even thinking about a big wedding to include all her co-stars!
Jake, on the other hand, admitted he felt paranoid even before the show aired. He thought people were staring at him, which is wild since no one knew who he was yet! He finally had to spill to his wife, Shannon, just to ease his mind.
Both winners praised the support they received from the BBC. They had a whole team looking out for them, which made a huge difference. Jake said it felt like a military operation with constant check-ins. That’s some serious care!
In the end, they both learned a lot about their own resilience. It’s amazing how reality TV can push you to discover new things about yourself. Can’t wait to see what’s next for these two!
