winner Leanne Quigley is wasting no time planning her dream wedding after scooping her share of the £94,300 prize pot.
The former soldier, who successfully deceived her fellow contestants by posing as a nail technician, has revealed her plans to tie the knot with her partner of six years, Sophie, and she’s eyeing an extraordinary venue – the iconic Ardross Castle, where the hit show was filmed.
Leanne, who shares two-year-old twin boys, Hudson and Harper, with Sophie, told MailOnline: “We have got wedding planning to do. We have just started. We haven’t set a date yet, but yeah, we can get a wedding going.”
She added: “I actually looked at the castle because I didn’t realise you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I would actually love that.”
The loved-up couple’s journey has been far from ordinary. Conceiving their twins through IVF, the blonde-haired beauty revealed plans to expand their family further, using her £47,300 winnings to fund additional IVF treatments.

“I will absolutely be trying to have another baby, not straight away, maybe in a couple of years, I think,” she shared.
However, for now, the focus is on the big day – and Leanne confirmed that her fellow Traitors cast members will be on the guest list. “I mean, the most incredible people I’ve ever met in my life, and the genuine love that we all have for each other,” she gushed. “We’ve all had a few meetups since leaving the castle, and every time we see each other, it’s just all love. It’s so lovely.”
The Traitors is filmed at Ardross Castle, nestled in the stunning Scottish Highlands. The breathtaking venue’s Great Hall can host up to 130 guests, making it a perfect setting for the couple’s “iconic” wedding plans.
Leanne’s journey on the show wasn’t without challenges as the star reflected on watching the series back.
She admitted: “It’s hard to watch it back… You can’t see everything that goes on. When you’re in the castle, you’re only in one room, so you don’t know what gets said in every other room.”

She continued: “Obviously, it’s hard watching it because the cameras literally focus on the Traitors and show all the slip-ups they’re making, and you think, how did I miss that?”
The reality star’s win comes as a triumph after an emotional year. Hours after her victory, Leanne paid tribute to Sophie on , thanking her for her support during Sophie’s devastating secret battle with breast cancer. “THANK YOU to every single one of you who have been so supportive and incredible, most importantly my future wife Sophie,” she wrote.
Leanne went on: “That was THE most emotional ending I could have imagined.
“I love you so much Francesca Rowan-Plowden and Alexander Dragonetti. I’m beyond lucky to have made friends for life in this game.
“To our queen for being the best host on earth and the most amazing production team at Studio Lambert.”
She concluded: “And to Jake Brown [heart emoji] WE DID IT.”
