HARRY Clark had everyone fooled when he took part in The Traitors and went onto to be crowned the champion.

Now the former soldier, 23, has hinted that he could be part of the celebrity spin-off which is tipped to include Friends star Courteney Cox.

At the beginning of the year, Harry scooped the best part of £100K after he was crowned victorious in The Traitors’ tense final.

Now it’s been reported he could join the The Traitors celebrity line-up.

Harry has now given his thoughts on this, and told The Sun: “I wouldn’t want to go back in the castle because I’d be kicked off straight away regardless.

“I’d love to work with Claudia in some way, even if I was in the tunnel with the Traitors and help them come up with a game plan.

“It would become a game in a game – and become a tournament over who could win.

“Claudia is amazing but up against her, I would win. Confidence all the way.”

The Sun recently revealed how Harry had left the army, after winning The Traitors.

Confirming this, he told us: “I have left the army now. I will always be involved in the army though, even down to the fact that my family are now joining.

“My little brother and my cousin have joined, my career in the army did influence them.”

Shortly after winning the show, Harry told us how he became a “Jekyll and Hyde” to win the BBC series.

He said: : “I’m from Slough and a lot of us have the same life mapped out.

“You marry young, have kids and then hate your life and are in the pub Thursday, Friday and Saturday — and I didn’t want that life.

It’s the first time my dad has really said how proud of me he is, which is emotional for me.

“My whole life I have felt like the wonky pancake. I wasn’t really sure where I fitted in sometimes.

“It’s the first time my dad has really said how proud of me he is, which is emotional for me.”

Harry told us how his Army training helped him to get the job done after host Claudia Winkleman recruited him as a Traitor.

His single-minded, strategic approach saw him steal £95,150 from under the nose of Faithful Mollie Pearce in Friday’s gripping final.

Harry said: “Compared to my brothers and sisters I’ve always kind of been the one getting told off or in trouble.

“I was an angry kid because I felt lost — I was angry with myself, not with others.

“I looked at my brothers and sisters and thought why couldn’t I be more like them. I didn’t feel like I fit in.

“I always felt lost and struggled with my mental health. I always felt the devil on my shoulder, but I have made peace with it.”

‘Disconnect emotions’

Harry joined the Army at 16 and became an engineer, which has a famously tough entry requirement.

He went on: “I started working part-time in a butchers at 13 to sort myself out. I had too much energy to be sitting behind a desk doing a normal job so I joined the Army.

“The trade I went into has an 11 per cent pass rate.

“I don’t know where I would be without the Army. I would probably be on the side of the road somewhere, or in trouble.”

£2,000 IN BOOZER FOR PALS

TRAITORS winner Harry has already started splashing his cash – treating his friends and family to a £2,000 pub party.

The Army lance corporal, 23, went to a boozer near his home town with around 18 of his loved ones to celebrate triumphing on the BBC show.

He hired out a function room at The George in Eton, Berks, and raved to tunes including Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor until closing time.

Harry, from nearby Slough, booked it from 6pm to 11.30pm on Saturday night – 24 hours after millions watched him scoop the whole £95,000 prize.

The Windsor and Eton Brewery, which runs the pub, makes Harry’s favourite beer, Republika, a 4.8 per cent pilsner.

The firm’s marketing manager Kevin Fernandes told The Sun: “Harry isn’t a regular but he’s been in a few times before.

“There were around 18 or 19 of them and we left them to have some privacy in our function room.

“My staff said he is a very nice, down-to-earth person.

“I have no idea how many times they played Murder On The Dancefloor though!”

Harry picked up the entire bill of around £2,000 and gave pub staff a generous tip.
