The Traitors winner Harry Clark has opened up about his strategy to win the BBC games home after taking home the £95,150 in last week's final.

During an appearance on Tuesday's BBC Breakfast, Harry, 23, told the show's hosts how he fought his way into the final as the self-proclaimed 'best traitor ever'.

Harry admitted that he thinks he's a 'bit of a psychopath' because he was able to lie to everyone – including himself – about his true identity in the game.

He said: 'Maybe I'm a bit of a psychopath because I would say to myself, you're not doing anything wrong – you're a believer after all.

“So I convinced myself I was a stalwart, but at the end of the day I'm a gamemaster who had to kill someone to keep the game going.

“I was an open book, who was a believer, I still believe I am a believer now. Those are probably some of the traits of a psychopath.

'I completely believed the lie. The best way to tell a lie is to put a little truth in it. So if there's a little bit of truth, you can turn the lie into a truth and then it's not really a lie.”

Harry, who is in a relationship with children's TV presenter Anna Maynard, also revealed that telling 'little white lies' as a child would stand him in good stead to triumph.

The British army engineer, from Slough in Berkshire, tricked disability model Mollie Pearce, 21, into thinking he was a fellow believer when in reality he was a traitor.

The series' dramatic finale, which also saw Faithful vet Evie, Traitor insurance broker Andrew and Faithful account manager Jaz all banned, had an average audience of 5.5 million viewers, surpassing last year's average of 3.3 million.

Harry said: 'I never thought I had a poker face because my family, my mother and my father, know when I'm lying.

“They asked me, 'How many beers have you had?' “Oh, I only had two.” “No you didn't, you had a few more than two.”

“So as a kid I always lied. But not in a bad way, they're just white lies.

'I have so many brothers and sisters that I always had to get ahead a little. But honestly, I never knew I could do that.”

Harry, who has three sisters and two brothers, revealed he only received the prize money on Monday, when a bank transfer notification appeared on his phone.

He said: 'I was just screaming in the back of the Uber, I just can't believe it, just because it felt so real at the time.'

When asked how he had the nerve to betray Mollie in the final minutes of the show and take the money, he said: 'That's when I came so far as a traitor.

“I can't just turn around now and say, 'I'm one and give up the game,' because I've done so much to get to that point. Why would I have thrown it all down the drain there?

“Mollie has been great, she's given me the reassurance that it's just a game and you played it so much better… She believes I played it so much better than her and that I deserved it.”

Harry, who has been boxing as an amateur for years, is now keen to enter the ring for a celebrity fight.

He said, 'I would love that thing. That would be great. It would just be bad to see how I fare against those guys.

'I've been boxing all my life. So it would be a good challenge for them, I think, without making myself bigger.

“Bringing boxing back into the game, I think that helped a lot.

'My grandfather always raised me as a gentleman. But he always said, 'You're a gentleman outside the ring and as soon as you get in there, you have to change into something you're not.'

“When I entered the game, I believed that I was a gentleman and a believer all day long, and I had to change into something I'm not for a while just to get to the end and win the money.”
