Anna Maynard has opened up about watching her boyfriend Harry Clark deceive his fellow contestants and mastermind his way to victory on The Traitors last year.
Harry claimed the £95,000 prize after a dramatic 2024 final, leaving his friend and fellow contestant Molly Pearce devastated when he took the entire jackpot for himself.
Anna, a 24-year-old CBBC presenter and influencer, has been in a relationship with Harry for almost three years. The couple first met at a nightclub in Brighton in April 2022.
Although Harry proved himself to be a convincing Traitor, Anna said he is equally good at playing the game at home—despite insisting that he cannot lie to her or his mother.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline at a Bohomoon event, Anna said: “I know people always say it must be a red flag, but not at all. Harry always says he can’t lie to me or his mum, so he’s clearly playing a good game. I loved watching him in it.”
Anna also said she is enjoying the latest series from a very different viewpoint, as Traitors Minah and Charlotte continue to mislead the Faithfuls.

During the 2024 series, Anna watched the programme alongside the rest of the country. Strict BBC confidentiality rules meant she had little idea how Harry’s time in the castle had unfolded.
Anna explained: “It’s lovely having a different perspective this year. Last year was completely different. I knew Harry was taking part, but I couldn’t discuss it and I didn’t know what had really happened. I was watching it at the same time as everyone else.
“This year I can enjoy it a little more and get to know all the contestants. Everyone plays the game differently, and it’s incredibly difficult, so hats off to them.
“Because Harry had been on the show and is now out of it, I understand how difficult it is. When he was away, there was no contact, and the rule was very much that what happens in the castle stays in the castle. I only found out everything when he returned, but I still watched the series as it aired.”
With the latest season heading towards its final week, viewers are waiting to discover whether Traitors Minah and Charlotte—or Faithfuls Alexander, Leanne, Frankie, Joe, Freddie and Jake—will take home the huge cash prize. Anna has already decided which side she is supporting.
“I feel for the Faithfuls because their whole objective is to identify the Traitors, and I want them to succeed,” she said. “But Harry is absolutely Team Traitors all the way.”
Away from the BBC reality show, Anna and Harry are preparing for the London Landmarks Half Marathon. The couple are also hoping to launch a podcast together.
Anna, the younger sister of singer Connor Maynard and YouTube personality Jack Maynard, has hosted the CBBC series Got What It Takes? since 2018.
Her comments come after Harry revealed that winning the life-changing prize has not stopped him from seeing himself as an ordinary young man.

Despite his win, Harry has made no dramatic changes to his lifestyle. Speaking to MailOnline in December, he said he had not spent the £95,000 on an expensive new car or luxury home.
“I’m just a normal guy who went on a television show, and everyone thinks it’s unbelievable,” he said.
“I still live on a council estate in Slough. I still drive the rundown Corsa I’ve had for six years.”
“I haven’t upgraded my car or anything like that because I don’t need to. It’s been strange, but at the same time it hasn’t felt strange.”
Harry admitted that the sudden attention has not made him feel famous. After the show, he and his family returned to their everyday jobs, leaving them unprepared for the level of interest that followed.
“As soon as I won, I called my parents. I was 22 years old and wanted to run down the street shouting about it,” he recalled.
“I told my mum and dad, then my siblings and, of course, my girlfriend. That was it. Nobody else knew, and they all had to keep it secret.
“The strange thing was that we all went straight back to work. My life didn’t change immediately because I returned to the Army. That was around August or September, and I stayed there until January, when the series finally aired.”
Harry had planned to leave the Army regardless of how he fared on the programme and had already arranged a job working on London’s railways.
His victory ultimately sent his life in an entirely unexpected direction. “I wasn’t expecting any of it,” he said.

Harry ultimately walked away with the full £95,150 prize after he and Molly Pearce joined forces to banish Jaz Singh at the final roundtable.
Having persuaded Molly that he had been Faithful throughout the game, Harry left the disability model—who has since appeared on Dancing On Ice—facing an agonising decision over whether to eliminate Jaz or end Harry’s run.
Molly remained loyal to their friendship and, at the last moment, changed the name on her board from Harry to Jaz. She was then forced to confront the heartbreaking truth: Harry had been a Traitor all along.
Overwhelmed, Molly burst into tears and exclaimed: “Oh my f*****g god,” before leaving the studio.
