Season two of The Traitors has officially come to a close, and what a dramatic and eventful series it has been. Following the grand finale last night, viewers watched Army Engineer Harry Clark take home the £95,000 cash prize as he was revealed to be a Traitor.
When the second series kicked off in early January, viewers were thrilled to see Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman reprise her role as presenter.
The 52 year old wowed fans last season with her quirky presenting style and slew of killer outfits, so it was no surprise that they commended Claudia for her performance this time around, too. However, Claudia has recently admitted that she didn't think the show would be a hit, and that she previously asked the BBC to refrain from giving series two the green light.
During the extended final episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked, she joined comedian and host Ed Gamble and explained that she called her husband, film producer Kris Thykier, worrying that the show would flop. Claudia recalled of season one: "We didn't think it was going to do well.
So I have a pair of fingerless gloves and a ceremonial pouch and I phoned my husband saying, 'It's all over' and when that did well, I did say to the BBC bosses let's just leave that, because we can't do it again." She added: "It was like a perfect first kiss!" This isn't the first time Claudia has opened up about her doubts over the show, though. While chatting to Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne on Thursday's episode of The One Show, she also made comments about wanting to ditch a season two - despite how successful the original series of The Traitors had been.
