The Traitors’ Jaz breaks silence on losing huge cash prize after Mollie ‘refuses to apologise’ for fatal error
THE TRAITORS' 'ultimate' faithful Jaz Singh has spoken out on narrowly missing out on the final jackpot.
In the nail-biting finale, which aired on Friday night, Jaz attempted to take down traitor Harry Clark at the final roundtable after correctly guessing his identity.
With £95,150 on the line, Jaz opted to continue the game, believing there was another traitor standing in the way of his claim to the prize fund.
However, he wasn't able to convince Mollie Pearce, who instead voted to banish him, leaving both her and Jaz with nothing when Harry revealed himself after making it to the end of the game.
Speaking to Ed Gamble on spin-off series/podcast The Traitors: Uncloaked, Jaz was seen reeling when he was told that not only was he right about Harry, but also right throughout most of the game about who the traitors were.
Branded 'Jazatha Christie' by fans, Jaz said that ultimately he didn't blame Mollie for her choice.

"I think with this type of game, it's always about getting the balance right, and the end goal is to get as far as possible," he explained.
"So when you're trying to get as far as possible, everything changes at [in] a split second. Claudia [Winkleman] can come in and give us a big massive bombshell, and then you know there's a shield, there's a mission, or someone will talk.
"At every single opportunity you have to find tune where you need to apply the balance. I felt being a Libra, I'd be good at balancing, I tried! But yeah, every little moment, it's not about being too loud, it's not about being too quiet, but just getting that balance right every single opportunity."
His comments come after Mollie said she went with her heart over her head in the decision that cost her the game.
"I think deep down I always knew. But that slight doubt, I just couldn't do it," she explained. "It's a tough one, but it is what it is."
Mollie was left alongside Harry as the last two contestants standing at the end of the game, after the group banished Faithful veterinary nurse Evie and Traitor Andrew, as well as Jaz, in the finale.
However, as per the rules, any traitors that remained would get the entire prize money after faithfuls failed to get them out.
As a result, Harry won everything.
Mollie was seen visibly upset as Harry, who had been her closest ally in the game, revealed his true identity to her.
Despite initially saying she would never speak to him again over the betrayal, she's since had a change of heart.
"We're fine. Always will," she told Ed Gamble. "I can't hate him forever, can I?"
The Traitors is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now in full.
