The Traitors' Meryl Williams hoping to start career in presenting after winning show

The Traitors winner Meryl Williams detailed her plans to become a television presenter in the future.

Meryl, along with Faithfuls Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski, took home the £101,050 cash prize after unmasking the final two Traitors Kieran and Wilfred.

The show, fronted by Claudia Winkleman, has been a huge hit with fans and Meryl left the series thinking about her next move.

She has yet to spend the £34,000 prize and said she wants to move onto a 'different career path'.

"So I’ve not spent it yet," she revealed. "I’d like to work in a different career path and I would really like to break into the television industry."

She added: "I’d love to do presenting, something like that.

"But I’m going to use that money for flexibility to try and get into that industry and keep on trying."

Meanwhile, winners Meryl, Aaron and Hannah recently opened up about what it was like filming for the show.

Meryl said of the roundtables: "Our hands were sweating, we didn't know what to do.

"I was like, if I drink the water are people going to think I'm a Traitor, if I don't drink the water, are they going to think I'm a Traitor. It was so intense."

Hannah added: "I think it was more intense than it was on TV."

Aaron also shared: "Even as Faithfuls, we all knew we were Faithfuls, but you start questioning what a Faithful should do. It's so nerve-wracking all the time."

Asked how long the roundtables really took, Aaron shared "25 to 30 minutes of people going on at each other and giving opinions," as Meryl confirmed there were no breaks and things got pretty intense at some points.

Winner Hannah previously admitted she felt like an "intruder" when she triumphed on the BBC show.

Speaking about her win, she said: "Oh my god! I felt like a complete and utter intruder. Like someone had got it wrong.

"Like someone was going to turn round any second and say no, sorry we messed it up, it’s not you! It literally felt like someone in that moment had just said all my dreams had come true. It was like someone had said 'okay, you can do whatever you want to do.'"
