Where The Traitors series one cast are now – from Love Island USA to acting success and relationship milestones

WHEN The Traitors kicked off in 2023, no one could have expected it would become the juggernaut it now is – especially not the contestants.

Signing onto the series in the hopes of bagging up to £120,000, the aim of the game is simple: find the killers, win challenges to build up the bank, and don't get killed in the process.

Soon the intense game of whodunnit sparked some of the most memorable moments on British reality TV, as players lied and schemed their way closer to the cash.

In series one, the faithfuls won out, and in an intense final decision, managed to cast out the last remaining traitor in order to split the cash three ways.

Aaron Evans, Meryl Williams and Hannah Byczkowski emerged victorious, splitting the accumulated £101,050.

But what has happened to the players in the years since? Here's everything you need to know.
