The Traitors winner Harry Clark has compared the hit BBC show to ‘school’, revealing he only speaks to one of his former co-stars months after scooping the whopping £95,000 jackpot.
Harry, a former British Army engineer, played a blinder earlier this year when he was chosen to be a Traitor over a Faithful on Claudia Winkleman’s twisted game show.
Having murdered and banished his way to the final, the 23-year-old ended up deceiving his fellow players right until the last moment, when Faithful Mollie Pearce remained convinced that he wouldn’t backstab her.
Alas, that’s exactly what happened, allowing Harry to walk away with a mighty fine five-figure sum all to himself, having been the only Traitor left standing.
Months on from his stint on the show, Harry spoke to Metro.co.uk about the aftermath.
When asked if he and Mollie Pearce are still in touch, Harry confessed that he’s now only close with Paul Gorton, a fellow Traitor who came extremely close to winning alongside him and with whom he co-hosts a podcast.

‘It’s the same… you naturally drift apart. Where everyone’s so busy now, that’s what’s happened. Me and Paul drifted but into the same [Devious podcast] show, so we talk all the time.
‘With everyone else, we don’t really talk as much. I still wish them all the best.’
His remarks come after Faithful Charlotte Chilton – who is currently pregnant with her first child, fathered by singer Conor Maynard – admitted that relations between herself and the cast had become strained.
She connected with pop star Conor at a Traitors after-party, as Harry is dating the star’s sister, Anna Maynard.
Charlotte previously accused Harry of ‘ghosting’ her and taking Conor’s side, as he refuses to have anything to do with their child.
Elsewhere in his interview with us, Harry shared his career goals, adding that heading Down Under for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is his dream – and even playing the next 007.

‘There are a lot of shows that I want to do. Hopefully one will be the jungle. But I always used to love acting in school… so who knows? I’m losing weight already. I’m started the 75 Hard Challenge [where you exercise twice a day for 45 minutes each time] just in case I do get the James Bond call,’ he laughed.
On who he’d like to see in the celebrity edition of The Traitors, which was recently confirmed, he mused: ‘I would love to see Claudia in it – but the other way round, if that makes sense, to see if she could deal with it, me giving her the Traitors cloak. That’d be funny.
‘I’d [also] love to see Amanda [Holden] in it, but she reckons she would be rubbish… and Ant and Dec, they’d be good.’
Harry went on to speak about his latest campaign with Take Five to Stop Fraud, which ‘gives people the knowledge to stand up to fraudsters’, something he was inspired to take part in after falling victim himself.
‘Being a victim of fraud when I was younger made me excited to do this because even the trickster can be tricked,’ he declared. ‘It can happen to anyone… whether it’s a “friend” on Instagram selling you something; a company online; or a robot.
‘There are so many different types of fraud out there… the idea is to take five minutes, think about what you’re doing [by following] three simple steps: the stop, challenge, and protect.’

Harry was tricked by a fraudster when he was 19, transferring £300 to someone on Instagram for football tickets which never materialised.
He was then blocked by the account and lost his money.
His life has now done a complete 180, however, as Harry had originally applied to work on trains in Wimbledon before getting the call to appear on The Traitors.
‘Now every day is exciting because no day is the same.’
