He scooped £95,000 after brilliantly but ruthlessly betraying his best friend in the second series of The Traitors.
Now Harry Clark has his sights set on another reality TV prize – being crowned I’m A Celebrity‘s King of the Jungle.
The former Army helicopter engineer is being tipped to join the line-up of this year’s ITV show, where he might feel at home among the venomous critters of the Australian rainforest, given that he admitted his treachery on Claudia Winkleman‘s BBC programme made him something of a ‘snake’.
Asked if he was going to be in this year’s cohort, the master of misdirection would only say: ‘Who knows? I might be but I wouldn’t be able to say if I was.’
But the 24-year-old told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I do like all the snakes and spiders and stuff – I would be really good in the jungle.’
If he did go down under, he would be following in the footsteps of a long list of reality stars, including Made in Chelsea‘s Georgia Toffolo and Sam Thompson and X Factor’s Stacey Solomon – all of whom went on to win the show.
With Clark’s masterful playing of The Traitors making him a viewers’ favourite, he would be a frontrunner to take the title too.
Nearly 7 million people watched him land the Traitors prize in 2024, after hoodwinking Mollie Pearce into thinking they were both ‘Faithfuls’ about to split the prize money.

The model, 23, did not do too badly from being stabbed in the back by her closest friend on the show, as it led to her own appearance on another ITV reality show, Dancing On Ice. She later forgave him for his double-crossing.
In the past year, Clark has quit his Army job to become a media personality, presenting segments of the BBC’s One Show and appearing in shows such as Pilgrimage.
His popularity among viewers has made him attractive to brands and he makes the £31,000 he used to earn in the Army every year in two months pushing products on Instagram and TikTok.
Despite his riches, Clark still lives with his mother, an NHS nurse, and his father, a baggage handler at Heathrow, and his five siblings in a council house in Slough.
He paid off his parents’ small debts with the Traitors’ prize money and invested the remainder in a high-interest investment account.
He said: ‘I also took everyone, seven of us, on holiday to Portugal. My family hadn’t been away since 2010.
‘It was probably the first moment after the show that I patted myself on the back.’
