EXCLUSIVETraitors winners Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown reveal their reactions to finally receiving their £94,600 prize money as they join Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce at TV Choice 

Traitors winners Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown join last year’s finalists Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce as they hit the red carpet at the TV Choice Awards on Monday.

The BBC stars dressed to impress for the star-studded evening which was held at the London Hilton on Park Lane, London. 

During the night, Leanne and Jake revealed their lives have been ‘chaotic’ since Traitors aired last month and revealed they have received their huge cash prize of £94,600, which was split between them.

While speaking to MailOnline the pair revealed what they will spend their huge cash prize on from lavish holidays to their children.

Leanne said: ‘It’s been chaotic. It was overwhelming in the beginning to no one knowing you walking down the street but as each day goes you get used to it.

‘We have had the prize money, not spent it yet though, I’m scared to touch it. It doesn’t feel real. When I opened my phone and saw it I was like “ahh”‘.

Jake added: ‘Leanne text me saying check your bank, I’m going to spend it on some holidays, family, home, weddings and babies’. 

Leanne also added that she plans to use her share of the cash, £47,300, to pay for a lavish wedding to her fiancé Sophie Jones and further rounds of IVF. 

Leanne and Jake clinched the prize on the BBC game show after the last remaining Traitor, Charlotte Berman, was banished at the final round table.

Just four compeтιтors remained, all faithfuls, and as paranoia mounted they continued to banish, with Alexander Dragonetti and Francesca Rowen-Plowden the unlucky victims – leaving just Leanne and Jake to split the £94,600.

The pair added to MailOnline that they did feel ‘guilty’ after banishing Alexander and Frankie but they quickly ‘apologised’ after the show ended.  

Leanne said: ‘Of course that is the thing you get the viewers privileged of knowing they are faithful but we had no idea. 

‘We all spoke straight after the show and apologised but it is a game. It did sit heavy on my heart but we are all good friends.’

During the night, Leanne commanded attention in a red satin gown which boasted a large bow and strappy sleeves.

The former British Army soldier showed off her amazing figure in the dress which she teamed with heels and a stylish up do. 

Meanwhile Jake cut a dapper figure in a navy three-piece suit which he paired with a white shirt and black bow tie. 

The duo joined last year’s winner Harry, who took home a mᴀssive £95,150 after convincing Mollie he was faithful meaning he took the cash prize for himself. 

However, it seems there is no bad blood as Harry, who cut a smart figure in a black tuxedo, and Mollie walked the red carpet together. 

Dancing On Ice star Mollie stunned in a black figure hugging gown which boasted an eye catching off the shoulder feathered neckline. 

Previously Leanne admitted to MailOnline after winning The Traitors, that 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.’

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.’

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.’

Leanne revealed earlier this month, after the show began airing, that Sophie had received the all-clear.
