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.”

But despite the financial impact the show has had, she said it also transformed her life and she is hoping to take her show to the Edinburgh Fringe later this year.the tra

She added to the Mirror: “Because people spend a lot of time working towards a certain goal …

“I would like other people to know that you can… don’t get me wrong, 30 grand was really helpful, but even without that, I would have done it anyway, but it has just made it a lot quicker.”

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.

It comes as one Traitor Paul has attempted to throw his teammates under the bus early on.

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.
