The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley has shown remarkable restraint after her bank balance was boosted by five figures.
The 28-year-old veteran bagged £47,300 after successfully banishing all the traitors with fellow faithful Jake Brown, 28, on the BBC show earlier this year.
While Leanne has had an agonising wait until after the show aired to splash the cash, she confirmed to Metro at the TV Choice Awards that she had finally been paid last week.
However, the mother-of-two revealed she had resisted the urge to go on a shopping spree and instead had yet to touch the huge sum to ‘save’ it for her wedding to fiancée Sophie.
When asked if she had made any large purchases, Leanne responded: ‘Not yet. Going to see how things pan out. Save it for the wedding.’
Speaking further about her plans for her nuptials, she said: ‘I mean we’re just getting started; there’s a lot to think about.

‘I would love all my Traitors family there. We’ve been on a big journey and they deserve to be a part of my big day.’
Leanne previously told Metro she was planning a lavish wedding after a difficult few years with her family.
Shortly after returning home from filming The Traitors, her fiancée Sophie was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. In January, they celebrated Sophie being cancer-free.
The couple and their two sons Hudson and Harley are now looking forward to their big day and the rest of their lives together.
‘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,’ Leanne said.
‘The boys are only two. We’re really enjoying some family time. But yeah, we’re really excited.’
In the meantime, before wedding planning goes up a gear, Leanne, Sophie and their boys are making the most of quality time together.
She said: ‘I only left the army actually in October, so I’m still very freshly out of the army. And with lots going on, first of all, with the twins, and then with my partner, we’re going to take some time now to really enjoy family time.’
After the wedding, Leanne said she and Sophie would like to add to their family.
‘I would love to go through IVF again. I went through IVF with my boys, and I was very poorly throughout my pregnancy, and then I went into early labour at six months,’ she said.
‘The boys were only 26 weeks when they were born. Because I was so poorly at the time I feel I missed out on enjoying that newborn stage. I’m so so grateful to have them, and I’m so lucky that they’re alive.
‘When they did come home from hospital after three months, they come home on oxygen, and it was a struggle to take them out. I would love the opportunity to have another baby, hopefully have a bit of a better experience. And to make our family a bit bigger.’
