Traitors star Jade Scott’s devastating tragedy explained:
- The Traitors was rocked by an unexpectedly horrible story on tonight episode, when Jade Scott opened up about the death of her mum and her half-sibling.
- It was revealed in a dinner thrown by Claudia Winkleman for the remaining players in the castle. One by one they went round the table explaining what they would do with the prize money – and many of the answers came with emotional stories about the contestants’ lives.
- When it was Jade’s turn she explained the awful circumstances of eight years ago, 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.”
- She went on: “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.”
- Jade added that if she ended up winning The Traitors this series she’d spend the prize pot (of up to £120,000) of her own place. “I think I’d really like to buy a home,” she said. “Somewhere I can call my own.”
- Speaking to producer on camera, Jade said: “In 2018 I lost my Mum. I was always very close with her so it was a shock to the system. Our parents form a big core of our own identity so I had to rebuild myself.”
- She added: “It’s affected me a lot. It takes me a very long time to let people in just because it does take me a minute to get comfortable and I can come off as a bit standoffish at first.”
- Fans sent her their best wishes, with one writing: “Jade’s backstory just broke my heart man. really explains a lot about how isolated she’s seemed in there.”
- It was an emotional night for Jade, who cried during the incredibly tense round table on Friday night’s show.
- She said: “I’ve never seen someone go through so many roundtables and have to put up with as much as I have. I’m frankly so sick of it.”
