This year’s series of The Traitors, like all seasons before it, is certainly heating up (Picture: PA)

The day has finally arrived – the fourth season of The Traitors hosted by Claudia Winkelman is coming to an end.

After four weeks of backstabbing, terrible Faithful guessing and the scariest challenge in Traitors history, the BBC series is drawing to a close.

After the fallout of the nail-biting dagger twist, it’s up in the air whether the Traitors will slither on until the very end or the Faithfuls will pull it out of the bag at the last moment.

The finale of the competition will be coming at a slightly different time than usual tonight.

But, casting an eye back on previous series, who have been the former winners of this murderous competition?

From a brutal Traitor win to Faithfuls coming together, Metro has taken a deep dive into every Traitors winner from when the series started in 2022.

For the first ever season of The Traitors in 2022, Aaron Evans, Hannah Byczkowski and Meryl Williams reigned supreme.

They collectively won a prize pot of £101,050, which they split roughly equally between them – equating to roughly £33,000 each.

Discussing what they did with their share of the money, Aaron confessed that he gave it all to his mum to look after.

Since then, he has stayed in the public eye with appearances on Love Island USA and First Dates.

Hannah, meanwhile, used the money to buy a car to help her travel around for gigs as she became a full-time stand-up comedian.

Finally, Meryl used her winnings for savings and to pay for a forehead reduction surgery, which she has described as ‘life-changing’.

She has also quit her customer service job and now works full-time as an influencer.

Who won season two?

In season two, for the first time in the show’s history Harry Clark – who as a Traitor – was the sole winner.

In a heartbreaking final with his close friend Mollie, he walked away with the entire prize pot of £95,150.

After the show, he revealed that he gave away much of the money to his parents, helping to pay off debts rather than spend it on himself.

Has Rachel already sealed her fate?

Our Senior TV reporter Rebecca Cook has shared her thoughts on the Traitor’s chances in this Friday’s finale.

He also revealed that he had invested some of his winnings to help him buy his first house, instead of on luxury items.

Since his win, he has also gone on to appear on a number of celebrity TV shows, including Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Who won season three?

In last year’s final, Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown – who were both Faithfuls – emerged as the joint winners.

The pair split equally a £94,600 prize fund, taking home £47,300 each.

After the show, Jake said that he planned to take his wife on a holiday with the winnings.

He also said that he has used his winnings to raise awareness for cerebral palsy.

Meanwhile, Leanne said she wanted to use the money to help support her family as well as plan an upcoming wedding after a difficult few years.

How much prize money is up for grabs in the season 4 finale?

The newest season of The Traitors features 22 contestants from across the UK competing for a maximum prize pot of £120,000.

Going into the final week, the existing prize pot is said to be around £57,000.

It remains to be seen what the exact figure will be by the time of the final roundtable, however.

The season finale on Friday night will see the players compete in another challenge to booze the prize pot.

The Traitors final starts at 8.30pm on Friday on BBC One.
