The Traitors star Jake Brown has officially become one of the new champions of the BBC gameshow, and won over his fellow Faithfuls and the hearts of the nation. The 28-year-old project manager became one of the last two remaining Faithfuls on Claudia Winkleman’s murder mystery series, and managed to escape with few suspicions on him.

He had played a strong game both on the roundtable – where he was one of the first to voice the idea that Linda Rands was, in fact, a Traitor – and during the brutal missions. And after all the lies, betrayals, brutal murders and shocking roundtables, he walked away with a staggering sum of £94,600, split with his fellow Faithful Leanne Quigley.
Speaking after his win, he said: ‘The game is a game, and I’m just glad that I was true to myself because that’s what it is all about. ‘You need to back yourself, be yourself and defend yourself when you need to.’.

Up Next. Jake’s win came after he revealed during a challenge that he suffers from cerebral palsy. Speaking to fellow Faithful Alexander Dragonetti as they heaved stone statues up and down the castle grounds, Jake – who was left dangling out of a helicopter in the final challenge yesterday – explained that he found the task difficult with gripping the objects, rather than the weight of them.
