The Mail on Sunday can reveal that showbusiness agents are already queuing up to sign him up as they think he has the potential to become a big star – thanks to his good looks and cheeky personality.

BBC bosses are also said to be 'captivated' by the 23-year-old, having noted his popularity with a younger audience they are keen to attract.

Clark, from Slough, Berkshire, is tipped to make a 'small fortune' thanks to The Traitors and become the face of a high street brand or follow in the footsteps of TV stars such as Bear Grylls and Ant Middleton . both of whom are ex-Special Forces.

He said: 'The army was great… I'm not sure if that will be my life as such now, but they supported me.

“It was strange going back to work Monday to Friday, normal work. I left, had that amazing experience, but couldn't tell anyone and went back to work.

'That was the strangest transition. Now it's gone crazy again.'

On Friday night, after the final was shown, Clark partied with a group of friends at Raffles nightclub in Chelsea. Sources say he was 'harassed' by other guests at the venue, which was once a favorite of the Princess of Wales.

'Mollie is actually the reason I'm here, I have to regain her trust. I greatly underestimated this. You come here and there are 22 great people, and I've been a traitor from the beginning. I've had enough of being naughty and bad, because that was next level.'
