Traitors star Faraaz receives huge offer from UK billionaire Umar Kamani
He missed out in last week's final
The Traitors might well have finished last week, but Faraaz's life has just taken another huge twist.
The 22-year-old managed to earn a spot in the final of the BBC show, but he fell at the final hurdle as Stephen and Rachel combined to vote him out in the final before taking the prize pot for themselves.
Having contributed very few theories on camera during the first few episodes of the series, Faraaz grew in confidence and gave fans a bit of false hope when he shifted his suspicions to Rachel ahead of the final few round tables.
After a series filled with significant twists and turns, with the inclusion of an unrevealed Traitor, secret relationships and new powers for the Faithfuls, it would have been a huge upset to see the Faithfuls triumph when the odds were stacked against them in the final episode.

However, Stephen and Rachel teamed up to take out Jade, Faraaz and finally Jack to take home an eye-watering £47,875 each, with Faraaz memorably figuring everything out and calling himself an idiot on camera just moments after he was banished from the castle.
During his time in the Scottish castle, he revealed that he wanted to spend his potential winnings on a trip to Mecca, to complete the religious pilgrimage of Hajj.
He said: "For me, being Muslim, Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam. Completing that pilgrimage in Saudi, going to Mecca. If I was to win the money, I’d love to be able to treat the family and all of us go as one.
"Without them I wouldn’t be anything, so I just really want to treat them."
Things are looking up for the cheery chap from Middlesbrough though, after UK billionaire Umar Kamani stepped in with a generous offer.
The Pretty Little Thing co-founder took to X to write: "I would love to send Faraaz from Traitors and his family to Hajj."
Sadly, there was no mention of the motor that Faraaz also wished for during his time on the show, but hopefully he does get to complete the dream trip with his family in the near future following Kamani's act of kindness.
Following his banishment in the episode fans are calling one of the best ever, Faraaz spoke to the Metro about his final moments on the hit BBC series.
He said: "When I saw my name on Rachel’s slate, I knew I was done and I was absolutely seething – there was steam coming from my ears. You probably didn’t see it, but I was gutted.
"I was toying between the two, and I knew if I voted Rachel, that was me protecting myself. I realised that should have been the right thing to do, but I was like, 'I know it’s Stephen!'
"I was seething about that — at least for that short moment."
The Traitors final is available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
