The Traitors: Harry Clark shocks Mollie as he wins the final

Fans of The Traitors UK have witnessed their fair share of faithfuls and traitors since the show launched in November 2022, but one traitor hunter who stood out above the rest was Jaz Singh aka Jazatha Christie.

Jaz had his suspicions throughout series two of the UK version of the programme and even made it into the all-important final as one of the few faithful left.

However, he was banished at the last minute after his fellow faithful Mollie Pearce eliminated him over Harry Clark, 23, who was a traitor and master manipulator.

Harry single-handedly walked away with a cash prize of £95,150, leaving Mollie heartbroken as she'd trusted him throughout the process.

Following the end of the series, fans could not get enough of Jaz who recently attended the TRIC Awards as the show was nominated for an accolade.

Speaking to Express.co.uk at the star-studded event, Jaz shared an exciting career update following his success on The Traitors.

He revealed he had hundreds of people messaging him after he opened up on the programme about his father having a secret second family he knew nothing about for years.

"People were constantly saying they were in the exact same situation and thanked [me] for opening up so they didn't feel alone," he explained.

During the show, many fans thought Jaz's heartbreak enabled him to sniff out traitors on the programme.
