New research from Betway uncovers which Traitors star ranks above the rest.

Since its debut in 2022, The Traitors UK has quickly become one of the nation’s most gripping TV sensations.

The series follows a group of contestants working together to build a prize pot while attempting to uncover the secret Traitors lurking among the Faithfuls.

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the tense missions, dramatic round tables, and unforgettable twists have captured millions, spawning international versions and even a celebrity edition, won this winter by Alan Carr, who played a solo Traitor to the end.

But who is the most successful contestant to emerge from the franchise? New research from betting site Betway has analysed some of the show’s finalists, ranking their success based on Instagram followings, Reddit discussions, and the positive sentiment surrounding their online mentions.

In first place is Alexander Dragonetti, who starred on season three and recently joined Classic FM for his own radio show series, Trust Me, It’s a Classic. He has amassed a total of 226K followers on Instagram and 104 comments on Reddit.

In joint second were Aaron Evans and Harry Clark. While Aaron has more followers than Harry, Harry has a staggering number of Reddit comments at 626.

Wilf Webster and Mollie Pearce followed behind alongside Leanne Quigley. While Wilf had a higher number of Instagram followers, he had a lower number of comments on Reddit – as Mollie amassed a total of 268 following her heartbreaking loss on the competition.
