The Traitors winner Harry Clark reveals exactly how he spent his £95,000 prize pot from the show

The Traitors winner Harry Clark has revealed exactly how he spent his £95,000 prize pot from the show.

The TV star, 24, bagging the whole prize pot for himself in 2024 after deceiving his fellow contestants right until the very end.

But the former Army helicopter engineer has remained humble despite his huge winnings – not having spent any of the money on himself yet. 

He told The Telegraph of what he’s done with his winnings: ‘I paid of my mum and dad’s small debts and the rest of the money is in a high interest investment account which has just been building up.

‘I also took everyone, seven of us, on holiday to Portugal; my family hadn’t been away since 2010.

‘It was probably the first moment after the show that I patted myself on the back. We’re going back to the exact same place this year – only this time, there will be 13 of us.’

Harry, a former Army lance corporal still lives in his family’s three-bedroom council house in Slough, Berkshire and has no current plans to move out.

The Series Two winner previously opened up about struggling with his mental health after finding fame on the BBC show.

The British Army engineer told the Monday Mile Podcast with Aimee Fuller, ‘It’s so weird, my life’s been very 50/50, the whole way through.’

‘I mean, there’s obviously good and bad to it. The bad probably from the four months, and that the success of the show is probably losing myself a little bit.’

‘Obviously, a council kid from Slough, I go to these events, you finish a drink, or you finish a glᴀss of Prosecco, soon as you finish it, you get another one in your hand.’

‘And then I’m looking around to pay the bill, and there’s no one to pay. So I’ve just been making the most out of it for four months.’

‘So I lost my training, and I sort of lost myself a little bit mentally, but just carried on working and now I’m sort of finding that balance.’

Harry won The Traitors’ £95,000 prize last January after deceiving his fellow contestants, including Faithful runner-up Mollie Pierce.

He quickly became a fan favourite on the reality programme hosted by Claudia Winkleman due to his warm and cheeky chappy personality.

A constant in his rise to success has been his girlfriend Anna, sister of popstar Conor Maynard, whom he began dating in April 2022

However, this was a far cry from how he felt in the years leading up to the show, and Harry admitted he previously hit ‘rock bottom’.

He said: ‘At around 21, I went through a bad time. I was in the darkest place you could possibly be.’

‘I had feelings of wanting to end it all. I was quite an angry kid. But the Army moulded my characteristics and made me the man I am today.’

‘I began facing my emotions and learned to give myself time to be angry and sad. I started to set myself time limits to process my feelings. Afterwards, I’d tell myself I couldn’t waste any more time being angry or upset.’

‘I had a realisation that time is the most important thing and I didn’t want to waste it. In the Army, I was that guy people would talk to. All I want to do is help. It’s a lonely world and it’s easy to be blinded by mental health.’

Reflecting on his The Traitors win, Harry said he was still working when it aired but has since quit the army.

A constant in his rise to success has been his girlfriend Anna, sister of popstar Conor Maynard, whom he began dating in April 2022.

Harry’s series of The Traitors won the National Television Award for best reality compeтιтion, beating the likes of The Apprentice, Celebrity Big Brother, Love Island and Race Across the World.
