A charity has received a very welcome payday thanks to generous fans of The Traitors. Alexander Dragonetti, 38, revealed on the show that if he won he wanted his share to go to The Royal Mencap Society. The former British diplomat made it to the final of the latest season of the BBC series, but was banished by fellow Faithfuls Jake Brown, Leanne Quigley and Francesca Rowan-Plowden.

A few nights before, the remaining contestants had all spoken at a dinner party about what they would spend any of the winnings on if they got to the end. He revealed that his brother had global development delay and autism, and died when he was just 17 years old.

He said: ‘I would like to give some money to a charity that I really care about. ‘My brother had special needs and used to go to a summer camp, and I’d like to send some money their way to keep it going because it gives parents a break. ‘My parents did an incredible job with my brother and for them to get even a week a year…looking after someone with special needs can be a challenging job…these were a brilliant thing for my family, and I would love to help keep it going.’.
