The Traitors’ Wilf dealt crushing blow and to lose jackpot as new evidence emerges

The Traitors is the smash reality series fronted by Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman, which has become a word-of-mouth success. After four weeks of tense episodes, the 12-part show will be reaching a climax as one person could be walking away with the huge cash prize. The final airs on BBC One this evening (December 22) at 9pm when all will be revealed.

According to new odds, senior fundraiser and Traitor Wilfred is going to be missing out on the money to a Faithful.

Instead, it’s going to be Faithful Aaron who will be the one to bag the money the contestants have been accumulating over the series.

Aaron has been given a 6/1 chance of winning the show from bookmakers Betway, which is a 14.3 percent chance of clinching victory.

Meanwhile, Wilf lags behind him with just 13/1 odds and 13.3 percent which means Aaron could have it in the bag.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Nigel Skinner, TV & Entertainment Betting Expert, OLBG.com said: “Aaron is currently the favourite to win in the betting market, but in order to take home the cash prize, Aaron has to get fellow Faithfuls, Hannah and Meryl on his side.

“However, Wilf, second favourite in the market, seems to have both Hannah and Meryl convinced that he is a Faithful and has detailed a possible game plan where he could convince them to vote out fellow traitor Kieran. With Kieran gone, Wilf could persuade them to call for an end to the game, thinking that they’ve successfully removed all the Traitors, only for them to realise he’s deceived them all along.

“Wilf has played a smart game so far, turning on fellow traitor Amanda which led to her exit in Tuesday’s episode, but if Aaron is able to convince Hannah and Meryl to vote out traitors Wilf and Kieran, he will clinch the win.”

This week, Wilf planted seeds as suspicion started to fall on Amanda before eventually voting her out with the others.

There are now just five contestants left in the competition: Wilf, Aaron, Kieran, Hannah and Meryl.

Newly anointed Traitor Kieran was enlisted at the last minute by Wilf and it looks like at least one Traitor could be bagging the cash at the end of the day.

Prior to her exit from the programme, Traitor Amanda was slated to win the competition with odds of 5/1 and a 16.7 percent chance of triumph.

Speaking about making it to the final, estate agent Aaron said: “I’m quite surprised because after episode three I didn’t think I was going to make it much longer.

“I also had another close call in episode seven so I’m surprised I’ve managed to make it this far.”

Reflecting on how he would spend the money if he won, Aaron said: “It would mean a lot to me, as well as my mum because I’ll be able to put a deposit down on a house for her.”

Meanwhile, Wilf said about getting this far in the competition: “I went in there with a gameplan that I executed quite well and it’s got me to the final, but at the same time there’s times where people are looking at you and pointing fingers at you, but I’ve come to terms with getting through that as a Traitor and then the eyes were off me.
