Traitors star Jade Scott’s devastating tragedy explained:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.”
4. 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.”
5. 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.”
6. 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.”
7. 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.”
8. 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.”
9. It was an emotional night for Jade, who cried during the incredibly tense round table on Friday night’s show.
10. 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.”
