The Traitors winner Harry Clark has revealed how he spent his prize money.
The 25-year-old former British Army engineer took home more than £95,000 after spending the whole second series of the BBC game show deceiving other contestants and lying his way to the final - and now he's revealed he splashed the cash on a pricey Rolex watch and a pair of designer trainers.
Harry told The Daily Mail newspaper's This Is Money column: "[I bought] my Rolex. It’s always been something I’ve wanted. I love looking smart and buying it was one of the first times I patted myself on the back ...
"I went into the Rolex shop in Windsor on a random Friday, dressed in gym clothes and, luckily, the staff member was a huge Traitors fan.
"He brought out the Rolex and I fell in love with it – it was the exact model I screenshot on my phone a few years earlier as my dream watch.
"It cost in the low five figures and is a long-term investment. I hope to pass it down the generations."
Harry went on to reveal he also bought himself a fancy pair of trainers but ended up regretted the purchase because he realised it was a "waste of money".
He added of his spending: "Buying clothes and trainers, but I quickly grew out of that. When I won The Traitors, I had a bit of money, which allowed me to buy new designer trainers and I paid more than £100 for a pair.
"You wear them out once and then they’re ruined. I realised it was a waste of money. I much prefer Primark, Uniqlo, Zara and M S these days. I’d rather wear a cheap Zara white T-shirt than a £3,000 Prada one."
Harry went on to reveal he initially wanted to use The Traitors money to buy himself a house, but he struggled to land a mortgage because he wasn't in regular work at the time but he's still enjoying living at home with his parents.
He explained: "My girlfriend Anna and I are not on the housing ladder yet. I won £95,150 on The Traitors with a view to buying a house. But while I had the deposit, I was self-employed and struggled as I couldn’t show that I had incomings every month.
"I enjoy living at home with my mum and dad in Slough. I’ve paid the same rent since I was 16 ... "
