While Dragonetti was banished by the Faithful contestants during Friday night’s final and did not win any of the £120,000 prize pot, viewers were been moved after he shared the story of his brother, who died aged 17. The charity, which supports people with learning disabilities and their families, has revealed that it has received more than £30,000 in donations from over 2,000 Traitors viewers since the episode aired last week.
Speaking to his fellow contestants about where he would have donated the winning money, Dragonetti said during the show: “I would like to give away some money to a charity I really care about. My brother had special needs and used to go to a summer camp. I’d love to put some money towards that to help it keep going because it gives parents a break.”.
