Traitors winner Harry Clark reveals whether he ever felt guilty about lying to win intense game
The Traitors star Harry Clark has revealed whether or not he ever felt guilty about lying to win the game.
Following the explosive conclusion of The Celebrity Traitors, it's fair to say the game show series is one of the best TV offerings in recent years.
Last night's (6 November) finale saw comedian Alan Carr pull off a shock victory for the Traitors after he was able to hoodwink both David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed into handing him the victory.
Carr's comeback was a surprising one, considering he started the episode outnumbered three to one. However, he isn't the only Traitor to win the Claudia Winkleman-led series.

Flashback to season two of the BBC series last year and you'll remember that army engineer Clark was able to convince fellow contestant Mollie Pearce he was a Faithful in the series finale, bagging himself a tidy £95,000 in the process.
Maintaining a double life while on the show is no easy feat, so how does the now 24-year-old feel about his ability to lie his way into first place – and did he ever feel guilty about how he played the game?
These were questions which were put to Clark during a Reddit AMA with LADbible, which saw him reveal whether or not he ever felt bad about making sure he came out on top.
The answer is, of course, no, as Clark believes he simply did what anyone else in his situation would've done.
"[I've] never felt guilty," he replied to the fan question.
"It was and always has been a game and if anyone else was in the same situation they would have done the same thing."
Which is fair enough.
Clark's composed reaction was vastly different to Carr's reaction when he realised he'd won the game, with the 49-year-old comedian bursting into tears after confirming he was a Traitor.
"I'm so sorry, it's been tearing me apart," an emotional Carr told Mohammed and Olusoga, as he appeared to struggle with the guilt of his deception.
His £87,500 winnings will go to children's cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK.
"All that lying was worth it, all that money is going to them, they are a wonderful charity," he said after the result was confirmed.
"What a roller coaster, maybe I do exaggerate a showbiz story but it was tough lying to people."
Carr's strategy will certainly go down in The Traitors history, with Clark telling another fan in the AMA he believed the Chatty Man presenter was 'in his own league' with the game he played.
"[He] has created his own special crown," Carr added.
