Traitors Champions Leanne and Jake Celebrate £94.6K Win at TV Choice Awards with Harry and Mollie

Okay, let’s tackle this request. The user wants me to shorten the given content to around 600 words and add some pictures. The original text is a news article about the Traitors winners attending an awards event.

First, I need to condense the article while keeping the key points: who attended, their comments about life post-win, their plans for the prize money, their outfits, and mention of previous winners. Also, important details like Leanne’s fiancée’s cancer battle should be included.

Looking at the pictures, there are several images from the event. I should select a few that are most relevant. Maybe the main red carpet shot of the four, Leanne’s dress, Jake’s suit, and maybe Harry and Mollie. The images are identified by their URLs and captions, so I need to place them appropriately in the text without the original HTML tags. Since the output shouldn’t use markdown, I’ll note where images should go with placeholders.

Then, trimming down the quotes. Leanne and Jake’s comments about the chaos after the show and their prize money are essential. The part about banishing other contestants and feeling guilty can be summarized briefly. Details about their outfits and wedding plans need to stay, as well as Mollie and Harry’s appearance.

I need to ensure the word count is around 600. The original is quite lengthy, so I’ll need to paraphrase some parts, combine sentences, and remove repetitive information. For example, various mentions of the prize money split can be condensed into a single statement.

Also, Leanne’s personal story with her fiancée’s cancer battle is crucial for context on her plans, so that should remain but be concise. The article ends with an update on her partner’s health, which is important to include but can be shortened.

I need to maintain a logical flow: event attendance, their current lives, prize money plans, interactions with former contestants, fashion highlights, and personal backstory. Make sure transitions are smooth and the article reads naturally despite the cuts.

Checking for any redundant details. For instance, the exact amounts they won are mentioned a couple of times, so I can mention it once. Also, the castle wedding venue details can be simplified.

Finally, adding notes on where the images should be placed to break up the text and highlight key moments. Each image should have a brief caption based on the original.
Traitors Winners Shine at TV Choice Awards Amid Chaotic Post-Show Life

BBC’s The Traitors winners Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown joined series one finalists Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce at the TV Choice Awards in London on Monday. The stars turned heads on the red carpet at the London Hilton, sharing updates on their whirlwind lives since their victory.

Since winning £94,600 (split equally) last month, Leanne and Jake described their newfound fame as “chaotic.” Leanne admitted to MailOnline, “It was overwhelming at first—no one knew me walking down the street before. But each day, I’m getting used to it.” Though the prize money has landed in their accounts, neither has spent a penny yet. “I’m scared to touch it. It doesn’t feel real,” Leanne laughed.

Jake plans to allocate his share to holidays, family, and future milestones like weddings and babies. Leanne, meanwhile, aims to fund her wedding to fiancée Sophie Jones and IVF treatments. The couple hopes to marry at Ardross Castle—the show’s iconic Scottish setting—which she revealed is available for private events. “That would be iconic,” she gushed.

Guilt Over Final Banishments
The pair clinched victory after banishing the last Traitor, Charlotte Berman, and fellow Faithfuls Alexander Dragonetti and Francesca Rowen-Plowden in a tense finale. Leanne confessed feeling guilty, but emphasized, “We apologized after the show. It’s a game, but we’re all good friends now.”

Red Carpet Glamour
Leanne dazzled in a red satin gown with a dramatic bow and strappy sleeves, styled with an updo and bold earrings. Jake looked sharp in a navy three-piece suit and bow tie. They posed alongside last year’s controversial winner Harry Clark, who swindled £95,150 from runner-up Mollie Pearce. Despite the betrayal, Mollie and Harry showed no signs of tension, smiling together on the carpet.

Mollie, now a Dancing on Ice star, stunned in a sleek black gown with a feathered neckline. Harry, in a classic tuxedo, appeared relaxed amid the glitz.

Behind the Scenes: Leanne’s Personal Struggles
Leanne’s triumph followed a difficult six months. Weeks after filming ended, her fiancée Sophie was diagnosed with cancer. “I wouldn’t have gone if I’d known,” Leanne told Metro. Thankfully, Sophie recently completed treatment and received the all-clear.

The couple, raising twins, plans to prioritize family time. Leanne left the British Army in October, calling the transition “fresh” but exciting.
