Traitors winner Leanne Quigley has revealed she plans to spend her prize winnings on a lavish wedding – and is eyeing Traitors Castle as a venue.

The former soldier, who pretended to be a nail technician on the show, pocketed the £94,300 winnings alongside project manager Jake Brown, after successfully banishing Charlotte.

He now plans to spend his half of the prize to marry his partner of six years, Sophie.

The couple are also parents to two-year-old twins, conceived through IVF.

The blonde-haired beauty told MailOnline: ‘We have some wedding planning to do. We’ve just started. We haven’t set a date yet, but yes, we can get a wedding going.

‘I actually looked at the castle because I didn’t realize you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I’d actually love that.

Leanne added that she would “absolutely” be inviting the cast of the BBC show to her big day, when it arrives.

She joked: ‘I mean, the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my life and the genuine love we all have for each other.

‘We’ve all had a few encounters since they left the castle and every time we see each other, it’s all love. It’s so charming.

The former squad also spoke about expanding his family by using his £47,300 share of the prize for more rounds of IVF.

She said: “I think I’ll be trying to have another baby, not right away, maybe in a couple of years I think.

‘My family needs a little rest at the minute. But I think we’ll go through and freeze our eggs, hopefully get some embryos and put them in the freezer for the future.

When asked if he has yet spent the money, the veteran admitted: ‘No, not yet, we absolutely haven’t.

“So when that time comes, I think we’ll go from a family vacation to a family vacation.”

Although she loved every moment on the show, Leanne admitted it was “difficult to watch”.

She explained: ‘You can’t see everything that happens. When you’re in the castle, you’re only in one room, so you know you don’t know what’s being said in any other room.

‘And obviously, it’s hard to watch because the cameras literally focus on the traitors and show all the slips they’re making and you watch it and think, how did I miss that?

‘But it’s very easy to say when you see it. It’s very difficult in the castle.

It comes just after Leanne paid emotional tribute to her fiancée Sophie after winning the BBC show.

Hours after her triumphant win, Leanne took to Instagram to thank Sophie following her partner’s devastating battle with cancer.

Sharing a photo alongside Jake and presenter Claudia Winkleman, Leanne wrote: ‘Wow. I can’t even believe I’m writing this…

“Thank you to each and every one of you who have been so supportive and incredible, most importantly my future wife Sophie.”

Leanne continued: ‘That was the most emotional ending I could have imagined.

‘We quickly learned to never take anything for granted again, and sadly we had to learn that tomorrow is never promised and the fear of the unknown literally killed us inside.

‘Yesterday, Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the strongest woman on planet Earth was told she did not have cancer. She did it. I cannot express or put into words how proud I am and how in awe I am of your strength every day.

‘Today we begin to truly celebrate ourselves, our children and the excitement of the rest of our lives. I could never thank the NHS enough for literally saving my entire family. And the biggest thanks to our support system.

“We are so lucky to be surrounded by the most incredible family and friends. To anyone fighting, or anyone watching their loved ones fight this horrible disease. I see you and I feel you. Please don’t give up.

Sophie commented: ‘You have lifted your head high and outdone this babe. I couldn’t wish for a better woman by my side honestly, I love you so much.

Thank you for everything in the last 6 months. Now let’s go and enjoy our life.

Before entering the castle, Leanne revealed that she would use her and Sophie’s prize money to promote IVF treatment for a third child, after a very difficult first pregnancy.

She said: ‘I went through IVF with my children, and I was very unwell during my pregnancy, and then I went into work early at six months.

‘The children were only 26 weeks old when they were born. Because I was so bad at the time that I feel like I missed out on enjoying that newborn stage.

‘I am very grateful to have them, and I am very lucky that they are alive. When they came home from the hospital after three months, they came home with oxygen, and it was difficult to get them out.

‘I would love the opportunity to have another baby, hopefully have a slightly better experience. And make our family a little bigger.

Leanne shared an emotional post on Instagram after her children were born three months early.

“They are the most precious, beautiful, smallest babies I have ever seen and I am so proud of how much they fight every day…” he wrote.

“We took some time to figure out if we should share our news, but our babies are here fighting and they deserve all the love and prayers they can get.”
