A contestant from the hit BBC show The Traitors has ignited intense speculation among fans that he may have won the series, after he proposed to his girlfriend following filming.
The Proposal That Started the Theory
Filming for the fourth series concluded several months ago, meaning the outcome—whether a Faithful or Traitor prevailed—has been sealed. However, the final episode is not scheduled to air until Friday, January 23, 2026, leaving viewers in suspense. A new clue has now emerged pointing to a potential victor.
Before entering the treacherous Scottish castle, fitness instructor Jack Butler revealed he had a secret plan: to propose to his girlfriend, Kim, if he won the prize money. Social media posts from July appear to show he followed through. Jack shared images from a holiday in Santorini, Greece, announcing he had just enjoyed the best week of his life with his 'new fiancé'.
Buried within a carousel of photos featuring Greek cuisine was a picture of Jack and Kim—whom he tags as 'Kay'—where she proudly displays a sparkling new engagement ring. The jewellery brand Durham Rose later shared further snaps of the proposal in August, describing a 'dreamy Santorini, sun-kissed yacht' setting and thanking 'J & K' for their trust.
What This Means for the Show's Outcome
The discovery has led fans to theorise that Jack must have secured the win to fund such an elaborate proposal. Speaking prior to the series, Jack hinted at his intentions, stating: 'I’m planning to propose to my partner, so it’d be nice to spend a bit of money on that, maybe taking her somewhere nice.'
This evidence strongly suggests Jack had significant funds at his disposal post-filming. The key question now circulating among the show's dedicated fanbase is: does this confirm a Faithful victory for Jack Butler? If the theory is correct, viewers will have to wait until the finale to see his game-winning strategy unfold.
The Traitors continues on BBC One and iPlayer, with the final set to reveal all on January 23.
