The Traitors contestant Kieran Tompsett has applauded co-star Wilfred Webster for surviving the show posing as a faithful after exposing him in the 11th hour of the dramatic final. An average of 3.3 million people tuned in to watch the showdown between Kieran and Wilfred which ultimately saw them both banished from the new reality show, a BBC spokesperson said.
The episode saw tensions rise after all the contestants voted to axe 42-year-old solutions consultant Kieran, while he voted for 28-year-old senior fundraiser Wilfred. Before Kieran confirmed he was a traitor, he stirred up the drama to get back at Wilfred by saying his vote was a “parting gift”, causing the other contestants to start questioning if he too was a traitor.
Wilfred delivered a pleading speech to try to deceive his fellow competitors in a bid to steal the whole jackpot, but the last vote saw him banished from the game – meaning Hannah Byczkowski, Aaron Evans and Meryl Williams were crowned the winners, splitting the £100,000 prize.
