The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley admits she STILL hasn’t received prize money from BBC – as she discusses life-changing plans for £47k winnings

The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley admitted she still hasn’t received the prize money from the BBC after Friday’s final. 

The army veteran, 29, appeared on This Morning on Monday to discuss her momentous win after she and Jake Brown were the last contestants standing. 

But she revealed she is yet to get her hands on her share of the £94,600 prize fund – with last year’s winner Harry Clarke not getting his money until days after the final aired. 

Asking whether she had received the money yet on the ITV chat show, Ben Shephard said: ‘You have to wait for the show to air before you get your winnings – has it arrived yet?’

‘No, not yet. No,’ Leanne revealed. 

She has previously mentioned her plans to use the money for further IVF rounds and her upcoming wedding to fiancée Sophie Jones.

Previously speaking to MailOnline, Leanne mentioned she was awaiting the cash after being asked if she’d spent it: ‘No, not quite yet, we absolutely haven’t had it yet. 

‘So, when that time comes, I think we’ll go on a nice family holiday holiday.’

And on This Morning she said: ‘I mentioned that I would love to have another baby, I’d love to try for IVF again and give my little boys a sibling.

‘Also, We have a wedding to plan now. I got engaged back in August, which is just the best feeling. 

‘[My boys] are just amazing and they’re warriors and they don’t even know it.’

Speaking to MailOnline after winning The Traitors, Leanne admitted she has been eyeing up Ardross Castle in the Highlands, the one used for the show, as her wedding venue. 

‘We have got wedding planning to do,’ she told MailOnline. ‘We have just started. We haven’t set a date yet but yeah we can get a wedding going.

‘I actually looked at the castle because I didn’t realise you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I would actually love that.’

Asking whether she had received the money yet on the ITV chat show, Ben Shephard said: 'You have to wait for the show to air before you get your winnings - has it arrived yet?'

Couples looking for the perfect wedding venue are actually able to hire the Great Hall at Ardross Castle, which can cater for up to 130 guests. 

Leanne added that she would ‘absolutely’ be inviting the cast of the BBC show to her big day, when it rolls around.

She quipped: ‘I mean, the most incredible people I’ve ever met in my life, and the genuine love that we all have for each other. 

‘We’ve all had a few meet ups since leaving the castle and every time we see each other, it’s just all love. It’s so lovely.’  

She also revealed plans to use some of the money to expand her family, as she said: ‘I will absolutely be trying to have another baby, not straight away, maybe in a couple of years, I think. 

‘My family need a little bit of a rest at the minute. But I think we’ll go through and freeze our eggs, hopefully get some embryos and get them in the freezer for the future.’

Leanne’s win comes after a very difficult six months following her fiancé Sophie’s secret battle with cancer – which was diagnosed just weeks after she returned from filming.  

Speaking to Metro, Leanne said of the ordeal: ‘I would never, ever have gone away to film if Soph had cancer. We found out weeks after I got home.

‘Actually, she found a lump maybe a month after, and it all happened very quickly from there. Ringing the bell now, radiotherapy to get through

‘I only left the army actually in October, so I’m still very freshly out of the army. And with lots going on, first of all, with the twins, and then with my partner, we’re going to take some time now to really enjoy family time.’
