Holywell: Leanne, a contestant on The Traitors, has had quite the journey. She’s been in the castle for two weeks and is still in the running for the final. It’s pretty exciting! The former army service member is the only Welsh contestant left after her fellow competitor Elen was sent home early.
So far, Leanne has played her cards close to her chest. She’s been telling everyone she’s a nail technician instead of revealing her army background. It’s a smart move, and she’s been vocal at the round table, which is great to see. But she hasn’t shared much about her personal life yet.
Before the show kicked off, she opened up about her partner, Sophie, and their two sons. Leanne said she thought it would be fun to join the show after watching the first season while pregnant. Sophie encouraged her, saying she’d be great at it because she can be a bit sneaky.
Leanne even joked about how she tells little white lies to get time off work. It’s all in good fun, right? She applied to be on the show while Sophie was napping, thinking it would be a funny surprise to share when she woke up.
In her interview, she explained why she’s keeping her past career under wraps. She feels that revealing she’s from the military might put her at a disadvantage. People might assume she’s strategic just because of her background.
On Instagram, Leanne has shared more about her life. She got engaged in August 2024 and posted a sweet photo with her partner, showing off her engagement ring. Just two months later, she announced she had left the British Army after over 12 years of service.
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Earlier this year, she revealed that Sophie was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a tough time for their family, but they stayed strong together. Thankfully, Sophie recently shared the amazing news that she’s cancer-free!
Leanne expressed her pride in Sophie’s strength and how grateful she is for their support system. She also mentioned how important it is to cherish every moment, especially when facing such challenges.
Looking ahead, Leanne shared her hopes for the prize money if she wins. She’d love to go through IVF again. She had a tough time during her previous pregnancies, and she wants to have another baby and hopefully enjoy the experience more this time around.
