The Traitors winner in "scary" car crash: "Feeling very lucky"

The Traitors winner Harry Clark has said he's "very lucky to be completely fine" after being involved in a car crash. The series two champion paid tribute to his car, which is damaged beyond repair, as he urged followers to "stay safe".

Taking to Instagram, he said the vehicle, named Julie, was one he'd had since the age of 17.

"Jokes aside, feeling very lucky today," he wrote in the caption. "Things can happen so quickly, especially in bad conditions. Stay safe on the roads guys."

In text added over a series of images, he elaborated: "Not going to lie, it [the crash] was pretty scary. Even knowing the conditions were bad and being careful, things can happen so quickly.

"I'm very lucky to be completely fine... Julie however... Has had an absolute nightmare."

Harry became the first Traitor on the UK version to win the show, taking £95,150 out of a possible £120,000 back in 2024. In the grand final, he famously had to tell good friend Mollie Pearce, a Faithful, that he had been deceiving her.

The civilian series will presumably return in the New Year for its fifth outing, but before that, The Celebrity Traitors is en route very soon indeed.

Believed to be launching on Wednesday, 23 September, the new series will see Claudia Winkleman presiding over players including Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, Hannah Fry, James Acaster, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett and Julie Hesmondhalgh.

The Celebrity Traitors returns later this year on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Season 1, along with the first four series of The Traitors, is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
