The Traitors S4 finalist Rachel Duffy / BBC
The Traitors winner Rachel Duffy has revealed that her beloved mother has died, just days after the show’s finale was broadcast.
On Friday night it was revealed that Duffy and fellow Traitor Stephen Libby had won the competition, sharing the £95,750 prize pot.
During the series she had spoken about her mother Anne, 70, who suffered from Parkinson’s and dementia, and revealed that she would use the winnings to take her whole family on holiday to “create memories” with her mother.
Posting on Instagram on Tuesday, she told followers: “We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beautiful wee mummy.
“We kindly ask for privacy as our family grieves during this difficult time.”
Around 1 million people in the UK are currently living with dementia, a figure that is expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. To help with research into dementia, visit the Join Dementia Research website.
