Jaz Singh of The Traitors talks about the moment Mollie Pearce lost the game for them and chose to believe Harry Clark was a believer, causing them to lose the money
After writing one name on her board, she asked host Claudia Winkleman if she could change it and erased it for another.
The model mistakenly believed that Harry was a Faithful in the hope that they would split the money, but when he revealed that he had been a traitor all along, she stormed out of the room.
Speaking to MailOnline about that pivotal moment, national account manager Jaz said: ‘When I saw Mollie write down that H, I thought: yes, we’ve got this.
‘When she changed. I felt it in my stomach. I thought I was going to get sick. It was so tense I couldn’t even explain it.’
He added that he wasn’t sure if he would even try to convince her against the British army corporal because the pair were so close. He said: ‘With Mollie, I ended up being really nervous to even have that conversation with her.
“I thought if I pushed too hard it would shoot me in the foot. It’s such a shame that she went with her heart instead of her head.’
Jaz – who was dubbed the GOAT (greatest of all time) by fans – initially kept his distance from his fellow contestants as he feared ‘getting emotionally involved’ would cloud his vision. He also spoke of his disappointment that he was not singled out as a traitor.

‘I had a conversation with myself and had to say: “You will never get this opportunity again, hundreds of thousands of people have signed up, it took ten months!”

‘Then I started to believe in myself and I got everyone. I watched it again and couldn’t believe how I got everyone excited. I hope a detective series comes out of this, because I’m ready!’
Appearing on the latest episode of The Traitors Uncloaked on Friday night, Jaz spoke about his reaction to all the fuss made about him: ‘Honestly, you just don’t expect it.
“I don’t even have Twitter, so I was getting screenshots of people sending me tweets and stuff, and I was like, ‘Jazatha Christie?’ Wait, who is Agatha Christie?’ So I had to Google who Agatha Christie is, and I saw a woman who has sold like 60 million detective cases and I thought, ‘Oh my God.’
“Honestly, it was great. People have messaged me saying, ‘You have to win, you have to get Harry.’ … It was incredible, absolutely incredible.”
