Hannah, 33, worked in social care and had dreams of becoming a comedian when she reached the final alongside Meryl Williams and Aaron Evans and managed to root out traitor Wilfred Webster, scooping more than £100,000 collectively in the prize fund.

She said with her £33,000 share, she was able to fund her living expenses while focusing on her comedy career.

Hannah explained: “It has changed my life more than I think 30 grand could for a lot of other people.

“I had to quit my job before I went into the show, because they wouldn’t let me go and film, so I had to start doing full-time comedy.”

This season of The Traitors has seen several of the devious gameplayers serve each other up on a silver platter to the Faithfuls to make themselves look less suspicious.

But in a recent climactic round table scene, one of them decided he would not go down without a fight.

In order to save his own skin and look like the good guy, Paul started pointing out that Miles had served Diane a drink the night she was poisoned.

After hearing this betrayal, Miles decided he had to have a showdown with Paul at the round table.
