    "I don't want to get this wrong, this money would change my life," Leanne tells Frankie, having previously told the group she would use the money to expand her family and pay for IVF.

    "I know, and I want you to get the money. I am not lying to you. I am a mummy," Frankie tells Leanne passionately.

    I've almost forgotten about the prize money. There's too much drama going on.

    The tasks are a brief respite from the intensity of castle mind games.

    Four contestants are trying to land £30,000 worth of coins into a fiery sphere, instructed by traitor Charlotte on the ground.

    They're hundreds of feet in the air, so it's no mean feat. First up, it's faithfuls Leanne and Jake.

  8. It wouldn't be the final without a helicopterpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

  10. 'Why would she pull this stunt over breakfast?' - former faithfuls have their saypublished at 20:51 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Rayan from Series 1 on X:

    Leanne is SO close to connecting the dots - listen to Freddie’s parting gift! #TheTraitors, external

    Ivan Brett from Series 1 on X:

    The biggest question is: if Frankie were a Traitor and saw Charlotte as a faithful, why would she pull this stunt over breakfast and not just ride the trust to the end? Work it out Alexander! #TheTraitors, external

  11. Is Charlotte making 'the same mistake as Wilf'? - former faithful Rayanpublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Rayan from Series 1 on X:

    Charlotte is coming on too strong, she’s doing the same mistake as Wilf when he was desperate to save himself in the last episode on series 1!

  12. 'It's carnage': The last ever breakfastpublished at 20:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Leanne, Jake and Alex arrive first, followed by Frankie and Charlotte - who arrive together in rather telling silence.

    Leanne and Jake press Frankie and Charlotte on how the meeting went. They tell opposite accounts, and Jake puts his head in his hands. "It's carnage," he says.

  13. 'You literally can't write this'published at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    "You literally can't write this," Charlotte says as she and Frankie point fingers at each other at breakfast.

    It's true, you can't. Jaws are on the floor already.

  14. 'Amazing, amazing TV'published at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Faithful to The Traitors podcast on X:

    That was everything. Moment of the year! The reaction, Charlotte's cold reception, Frankie’s emotional: “You’re going to say I’m a Traitor”… Amazing, amazing TV. And it's just the start!

    Rayan from Series 1 on X:

    The only benefit to being in the final five - this is probably the only breakfast where there’s enough coffee for everyone at that table.

  16. 'If I do another TV show, I probably won't do it with a fake Welsh accent'published at 20:42 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    The last traitor standing has just turned up for breakfast, along with Frankie - here's some of what Charlotte had to say reflecting on her journey:

    I never expected to get this far. In my view The Traitors is such a difficult game to win and so, to even have been able to play, has been incredible. To make the final is unbelievable and really unexpected!

    I don't think you can go into The Traitors ever thinking you're going to win. That's why, whenever anyone has asked me, 'what would you do with the prize money?' it was hard to even imagine. It's nice to speculate, just like you might speculate what you would do if you won the lottery or something.

    I think it would be really cool to have a recruited Traitor winning, because that is something that hasn't been done before in the UK version of the game. Without sounding too cliché, the experience is what I wanted, so I already feel I have won.

    I have learnt that if I ever do another TV show, I probably (read - most definitely!) won't do it with a fake Welsh accent. It has been exhausting, and I think I may have permanently rewired my brain.

  17. 'I honestly didn’t think I’d make it past the first day'published at 20:41 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Francesca, "The Seer" herself has arrived at breakfast in the castle, here's some of what she had to say about her time on the show:

    I am absolutely thrilled to have made it this far in the competition. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it past the first day.

    I did think it would probably be quite intense, which it was. I didn’t realise I would make such good friends, which has been lovely.

    Winning the show would mean so much to me on so many different levels. It would be so lovely for my sons to see me win and to see me doing something different. To prove to them that anything is possible. On a personal level as well, it’s probably one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever taken on, so it would mean a lot to me for my sense of self as well.

    I’ve learnt so much about myself. I’ve learnt that in some cases I can sometimes underestimate myself, but I can push myself, like I did in the Missions, and do in everyday life.

  18. 'Winning the show would be the cherry on top of the cake'published at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Alexander's up next, as conversation turns to Frankie's advantage as "The Seer", here's more from him on what he's learned from his journey:

    I thought I wouldn't mind if I went out on day one or day 12, but I'm really glad I made it back in after leaving the train, because I feel like that’s given me more of The Traitors experience.

    I didn't really think about how far I'd get in the game. A friend of mine when I applied said to me that she thought I'd either go out in the first couple of episodes or make it quite far. I think she was pretty astute - I did both!

    Winning the show would be the cherry on top of the cake. It would be a lovely thing to have, but either way I'm so happy I had the experience of playing the game.

    Something I learnt over the course of the game, that being messy and human and vulnerable is how you actually connect with people, and it's something I'll try to do more of.

  19. 'It was a lot harder than I imagined'published at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    Leanne is the second finalist to enter for breakfast, here's what she told our colleagues in the BBC about her time in the show:

    I’m proud of myself that I haven’t slipped up on my job situation just yet and I’m just happy to be here!

    It was a lot harder than I imagined emotionally. I came into the game really, really wanting to be a Traitor, but I found it hard enough being a Faithful. So, I know how difficult I would have found it as a Traitor, because of the relationships that you build along the way, the friendships, it would be so hard to stab a friend in the back.

    When I came in, I felt a little bit out of my depth, because there's so many huge personalities, and I never considered myself as a big personality.

    Winning would give us another chance to have another baby and expand our family. It’s something for my little boys to look back at in a couple of years and think, wow, my mum did that.

    Maybe I need to have a bit more confidence in myself, that maybe I do belong in places a bit more, and I can do more than I think I can.

  20. 'Getting Linda out was a highlight of mine'published at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January

    As Jake enters breakfast for the last time, it's a good time to say that we've been hearing from the final five about what winning would mean to them. Speaking to our colleagues at BBC, here's what Jake said:

    I feel very blessed and lucky to be here. I’ve met so many wonderful people on this journey from all different walks of life and I’ve loved every minute.

    I don’t think you can beat the feeling of getting a Traitor out. Getting Linda out was a highlight of mine because I had been hunting her from day one! That feeling of joy when we got her out was a magical feeling.

    One of the big reasons I came on the show was to represent the Cerebral Palsy and disability community, showing that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

    I’ve learnt that you need to understand people and their different personalities and how that impacts their decision making. There are a lot of different emotions throughout the competition and trying to control how I’m feeling was something I didn’t realise I could do as well.
