The Traitors star Harry Clark has revealed that he has finally received his £95,000 cash prize four months after being the crowned winner of the BBC show but has fears about spending the sum.
The 23-year-old reality TV star left viewers gripped as he executed an incredible game plan throughout the series, where he managed to fool his co-stars into thinking he was a Faithful despite being a Traitor from the start. Last Friday night during the final, Harry, who is dating singer Conor Maynard's sister Anna, managed to take home the prize fund after best friend on the show, Mollie Pearce, thought he was a Faithful like her.
Appearing on Friday's Loose Women, Harry and Mollie were reunited following the tense final, where the duo spilled all about the popular BBC gameshow. Just last week, in an interview with The Mirror, Harry confessed that he was still waiting to get paid his prize money. He said: "It’s mad, isn’t it? I can’t really believe it. I can’t even explain it because, well one: I haven’t got the money yet, so that’s probably why. And Two: I just can’t believe it."

The TV star was asked: "Have you got the money?" to which Harry revealed: "Yeah, yeah, I've got the money! I don't know [what I'm going to do with it], I'm too scared to spend it to be honest! If it was up to me, I'd go put it all on red!
"Luckily, I've got my dad, who has got his head screwed on thankfully. I've just let him and my family have it pretty much. Not let them have it, don't tell them that, but they're going to help me." The Loose Women hosts then pointed out that Mollie was "like family" on the show, jokingly suggesting Harry should give her some of the prize money.

However, Mollie pointed out: "We have to remember, Harry won the game and that's the end of it. All this stuff about him taking me on holiday and sharing the money with me, that's not how it works. I didn't win, Harry did, and that's his money! He worked very hard in there to get it."
It is standard practice for TV shows, such as game shows, to give out any prize fund once the programme has aired with contestants made aware of this before taking part. The Traitors was filmed months in advance before it was aired on television screens earlier this year.
