The Traitors is coming back to our screens in 2025 with Claudia Winkleman returning as the host of the BBC reality TV show.

Its popularity has grown since it was first on and now that a third series is almost here, you might be wondering when you can see all the action as new contestants try their hand at being faithfuls or traitors.

The BBC series airs a few days a week but since it’s been a little while since it was on, you might be wondering how much the winner receives.

How much does The Traitors winner receive?

The maximum prizes from The Traitors in the UK is £120,000. This year's winner Harry took home £95,000.

Daily tasks throughout the game allow players to accumulate money and increase the total prize pool.

In terms of the contestants, they are not paid an appearance fee for being on the show but are given a daily allowance.

Aaron Evans, the winner of season one, revealed: "They don't technically pay you, they subsidise what you would have got for work with the show, it's roughly like £100 a day. It's not that much... but it's definitely worth it."
