The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley has separated from her fiancée Sophie Jones after more than seven years together, with the couple now planning to focus on co-parenting their twin sons. The 30-year-old former soldier, who pretended to be a nail technician on series three of the BBC show and won it alongside Jake Brown, has ended her relationship with Jones, 33.
Couple prioritise co-parenting after amicable split
A representative for Leanne told The Sun on Monday: 'We can confirm Leanne and Sophie have separated; their focus continues to be their two beautiful boys.' A source close to the pair added: 'It's a very sad, but amicable split. They grew apart over the years but will continue to co-parent their boys.'
The former couple, who got engaged in August 2024 before Leanne appeared on The Traitors in January 2025, share three-year-old twin boys Harley and Hudson. Their separation comes after Sophie was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2024, just a month after Leanne returned home from filming, but later received the all-clear after her grade 3 diagnosis.
Wedding plans and IVF hopes revealed after win
Following her victory, Leanne had spoken about their plans to marry and try for another child. 'We have a wedding to plan, and we're actually going to start it right now. We haven't set a date yet, but yeah, we're going to get on that straight away and probably just discuss IVF again, which we won't do just yet,' she told Metro at the time. 'The boys are only two. We're really enjoying some family time. But yeah, we're really excited.'
Leanne also revealed she hoped to marry Sophie at Scotland's Ardross Castle, where The Traitors is filmed, using some of her £47,300 prize money – her half of the £94,600 winnings shared with Jake. She told the Daily Mail: '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. 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.'
Co-stars show support amid recent Traitors news
News of Leanne's split comes shortly after her Traitors co-star Freddie Fraser publicly confirmed his new relationship with fellow social media influencer Bailey Ramsden, a year after splitting from his girlfriend Nisha Davenport. The 22-year-old, who was recruited by the Traitors before being thrown under the bus, received supportive comments from his co-stars, including Leanne who wrote: 'My whole heart.'
Leanne's representative has been contacted for further comment by Metro, but no additional statement has been issued at this time.
