Francesca wowed for the evening in a black velvet playsuit complete with a lace high-neck bodysuit and matching lace тιԍнтs.

Charlotte meanwhile opted for a cream linen crop top and wide-leg trousers co-ord, with Linda also sporting a lace midi-dress.  

Traitors heartthrob Alexander looked dapper in a navy satin suit while Jake sported a black velvet tuxedo with bow-tie. 

Their appearance at the lavish bash comes after Leanne and Jake revealed they actually needed therapy after having to keep their time on the BBC show secret for months – and that tense finale.

Both Faithfuls throughout the game, the pair were crowned series champions in Friday’s final, splitting the eye-watering £94,600 in prize money.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Leanne and Jake shared how they managed to keep their time on The Traitors secret for months, having first filmed the show in the spring.

Jake said: ‘It was filmed back in the springtime so it’s been a long time to keep it quiet. It’s been really difficult.

‘I mean, I was paranoid in my head because before the show even came on, I kept thinking people were looking at me, but obviously at that point no one knew who I was.’

Jake added that for the first few weeks he even kept his time on the show a secret from his wife Shannon, but eventually decided to confide in her.

Leanne, who hid her career in the British Army from her fellow players, said she also felt ‘overwhelmed’ by the way the series ended. 

Jake also praised the show’s welfare support team for regularly checking in on them throughout the process.

The show’s list both a chartered psychologist, Victoria Plant, and a psycH๏τherapist, Tanya Taylor-Wright, while the BBC also employs a health and safety company called the RT Group, formerly Remote Trauma.

He added: ‘The welfare team and the production have been amazing. They’ve been looking after us and checking in instantly. 

‘They’re just really checking in, just making sure we’re alright and offering all the support we need. 

‘There’s not one thing that I’ve been unsure about. It’s been like a military operation, like they’ve constantly been checking in.

‘It’s taught me how resilient I am. I always thought I was like a cool, calm, collected person, but it’s really taught me I actually am more resilient than I thought.’

Francesca, Leanne, Alexander, Jake and Charlotte were the five remaining contestants going into the last hurdle.

But the veteran and project manager were the ones who managed to outsmart the Traitors and emerge victorious by remaining in the show until the end of the unforgettable third series.

On Friday, in the most fiery roundtable yet, the Faithfuls banished the final Traitor of the series.

But in yet another new twist ‘Welsh’ business director Charlotte didn’t reveal her status as she left the castle.

It left the four remaining players considering whether there could be a final villain, with suspicions landing on Alexander in particular, who was the next to be banished.

But the game didn’t end there as the final three also all voted to banish again in an excruciating round of endgame.

While Frankie opted to banish Jake, Leanne and Jake then turned on Frankie as she became the final player to leave the castle, leaving Leanne and Jake victorious.
