Leanne Quigley, who was crowned the victor of The Traitors, has revealed her elaborate wedding plans, aiming to capitalise on her game show fortune for a fairytale Scottish ceremony.
Having aced The Traitors and pocketing a cool £94,300 with fellow champ Jake Brown, Leanne is gearing up to splurge on a monumental celebration.
She's picked the majestic Scottish highlands castle that took centre stage in the TV series as the dream spot to wed her long-time love Sophie, picturing an enchanting locale to pledge their love and kickstart their married life, the Mirror reports, reports the Daily Record.
Already parents to adorable twin toddlers, the pair are over the moon thinking of what they can now afford with the winnings. Chatting with MailOnline, Leanne couldn't hide her excitement about her wedding plans: "We have got wedding planning to do. We have just started. We haven't set a date yet but yeah we can get a wedding going."
In a sentimental nod to The Traitors, Leanne admitted she'd love to use its backdrop for her big day: "I actually looked at the castle because I didn't realise you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I would actually love that."
Leanne is filled with optimism that her co-stars from the BBC series will join her on her special day, sharing: "I mean, the most incredible people I've ever met in my life, and the genuine love that we all have for each other. We've all had a few meet ups since leaving the castle and every time we see each other, it's just all love. It's so lovely."
Ardross Castle, known from The Traitors, could serve as Leanne's fairytale wedding venue with its Great Hall available for ceremonies.
Leanne's investments go beyond the matrimonial event, as she intends to pursue additional IVF treatments to expand her family. She revealed: "I will absolutely be trying to have another baby, not straight away, maybe in a couple of years, I think."
She further explained her family plans, saying, "My family need a little bit of a rest at the minute. But I think we'll go through and freeze our eggs, hopefully get some embryos and get them in the freezer for the future."
After winning the show, an exhilarated Leanne took to Instagram to celebrate her triumph. Alongside Claudia Winkleman and fellow winner Jake, she uploaded a photo with the caption: "Wow. I can't even believe I'm writing this.."
She continued: "THANK YOU to every single one of you who have been so supportive and incredible, most importantly my future wife Sophie. That was THE most emotional ending I could have imagined. I love you so much Francesca Rowan-Plowden and Alexander Dragonetti. I'm beyond lucky to have made friends for life in this game."
Leanne concluded her post by saying: "To our queen Claudia Winkleman for being the best host on earth and the most amazing production team at Studio Lambert. And to Jake Brown [heart emoji] WE DID IT.'".
