Emotions ran high in The Traitors castle last night as the remaining eight contestants revealed their personal stories and dreams during a dinner hosted by Claudia Winkleman. Faithful Jade Scott, 25, tearfully shared that she lost her mother and half-sibling in 2018, saying: 'My parents got divorced when I was seven, my Mum moved back to Hong Kong, she had a kid and then in 2018 they were both found dead.'
Jade, a PhD student from the West Midlands, said the tragedy forced her to rebuild herself. 'I have had to really rebuild myself from that point onwards. So I’m really proud of myself for being here and getting this far,' she told the group. If she wins the prize money, she hopes to buy a home.
Personal trainer Jack Butler, 29, revealed he plans to propose to his girlfriend soon, with the ring already sorted. He would use any winnings as a deposit on a house. Cyber security consultant Stephen, 32, spoke of struggling with his sexuality growing up on the Isle of Lewis, saying: 'For the longest time I hated myself. I lost my teenage years going to church and trying to pray myself normal.'
Communications officer Rachel, 42, shared that her mother has Parkinson's and dementia, and she wants to take her family on a holiday while her mother still has memories. Creative director Matt, 35, said he and his partner got engaged during Covid but have yet to marry, while auditor Faraaz Noor, 22, dreams of a new car and taking his family on Hajj.
Gardener James Baker, 38, wants to buy his step-daughter a reliable car, and recruiter Roxy Wilson, 32, revealed she was adopted at age six and was told she would never amount to anything. Her adoptive mother is Judy, the first player banished this series.
Later, Stephen feared being targeted after fellow contestant Jessie was murdered, but he and fellow traitor Rachel received no votes. Ellie was banished, leaving with a surprise revelation about her connection to Ross Garshong.
