Who Won ‘The Traitors’? 2026 Winner Revealed

Faraaz played something of a background role throughout the majority of the show until the very final episodes. After Traitor Rachel managed to slide effortlessly through the game for weeks on end, Faraaz was the one who quietly put the pieces together and called her out. However, after she survived, he changed his mind again and switched his attention to Stephen – which proved to be his downfall.

Jack was another Faithful who stayed very much under the radar until the final moments of the game. Jack won the final shield saving him from the last murder. When he made it to the final, you may have secretly wondered, ‘Who actually is that?’ but by the end of the last episode, he had more than made his mark. He was the last Faithful standing before Rachel and Stephen took home the prize.

What happened in the final?

The gripping Traitors final was a real rollercoaster. It began picking up with the cliffhanger from the night before. Rachel and James discovered their fate as they both opened the chests of chance. Rachel opened the chest with the shield and was saved for one more night – and for the final.

The final episode saw the five remaining players taking on an epic mission involving speed boats and running down a steep dam before hopping into a helicopter. After all of that bonding and money-gathering, things took a more serious turn in the final banishment. Rachel implored Stephen to stick with her and vote for Jade. With Faraaz’s vote also going Jade’s way, she was banished. The gripping end game saw Rachel once more relying on Stephen to stick with her – and against all odds, he did. The voted out Faraaz followed by Jack and shared the prize pot.

How much money did Rachel and Stephen win?

At the end of it all, Rachel and Stephen, two traitors took home the final prize. And the prize pot was a big one: £95,750, which the pair split, taking home £47,875 each.
