Traitors winners Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown joined last year’s finalists Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce on the red carpet at Monday’s TV Choice Awards.
The BBC stars dressed for the glamorous ceremony, held at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
During the event, Leanne and Jake said life had been “chaotic” since their series of The Traitors aired last month. They also confirmed they had received the £94,600 prize money, which was divided between them.
Speaking to MailOnline, the pair revealed how they plan to spend their winnings, with holidays, family and home improvements among their priorities.
Leanne said: “It’s been chaotic. It was overwhelming at the beginning, with nobody knowing who you were when you walked down the street, but as each day goes by, you get used to it.
“We’ve received the prize money, although we haven’t spent it yet. I’m scared to touch it. It doesn’t feel real. When I opened my phone and saw it, I was like, ‘Ahh.’”

Jake added: “Leanne texted me saying, ‘Check your bank.’ I’m going to spend it on holidays, family, the home, weddings and babies.”
Leanne said she intends to use her £47,300 share of the winnings to help fund a lavish wedding to her fiancée, Sophie Jones, as well as further rounds of IVF.
Leanne and Jake secured victory on the BBC game show after the final remaining Traitor, Charlotte Berman, was banished at the last round table.
Four contestants remained, all of them Faithfuls. As suspicion intensified, the players continued eliminating one another, with Alexander Dragonetti and Francesca Rowen-Plowden becoming the final victims before Leanne and Jake split the £94,600 prize.
The pair admitted to MailOnline that they felt “guilty” after banishing Alexander and Frankie, but said they quickly apologised once filming had ended.
Leanne said: “Of course, that’s the difficult part. Viewers know they are Faithfuls, but we had no idea.
“We all spoke straight after the show and apologised, but it’s a game. It did weigh heavily on my heart, but we’re all good friends.”
Leanne commanded attention at the awards in a red satin gown featuring a dramatic oversized bow and delicate strappy sleeves.

The former British Army soldier highlighted her figure in the elegant dress, pairing it with heels and a polished updo.
Jake looked equally stylish in a navy three-piece suit, teamed with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie.
The pair were joined by last year’s winner Harry, who walked away with £95,150 after persuading Mollie that he was a Faithful and taking the entire prize for himself.
Despite the dramatic finale, there appeared to be no lingering animosity. Harry looked dapper in a black tuxedo as he and Mollie walked the red carpet together.
Dancing On Ice star Mollie looked stunning in a figure-hugging black gown with an eye-catching, off-the-shoulder feathered neckline.
Following her Traitors victory, Leanne told MailOnline that she had been considering Ardross Castle in the Highlands—the show’s filming location—as a potential wedding venue.
“We’ve got wedding planning to do,” she said. “We’ve only just started. We haven’t set a date yet, but we can get the wedding organised.
“I actually looked into the castle because I didn’t realise you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I would absolutely love it.”
Couples searching for a wedding venue can hire the Great Hall at Ardross Castle, which can accommodate up to 130 guests.
Leanne also confirmed that she would “absolutely” invite her fellow BBC show contestants to the wedding when the time comes.
She joked: “They’re the most incredible people I’ve ever met in my life, and the genuine love we all have for one another is amazing.

“We’ve had a few get-togethers since leaving the castle, and every time we see one another, there’s nothing but love. It’s so lovely.”
Leanne’s victory came after an especially challenging six months, during which her fiancée, Sophie, privately battled cancer after being diagnosed only weeks after Leanne returned from filming.
Speaking to Metro about the ordeal, Leanne said: “I would never, ever have gone away to film if Sophie had cancer. We found out weeks after I came home.
“She found a lump about a month later, and everything happened very quickly from there. She’s ringing the bell now, but she still has radiotherapy to get through.
“I only left the Army in October, so I’m still very newly out. With everything that’s happened—first with the twins and then with my partner—we’re going to take some time now to enjoy being together as a family.”
Earlier this month, after the show began airing, Leanne revealed that Sophie had received the all-clear.
