Traitors star Harry Clark is tipped as next King of the Jungle, as the former Army helicopter engineer sets his sights on I'm a Celeb
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.'

Carrie Bickmore reveals heartbreaking reason she appeared on The Project after having a miscarriage
Carrie Bickmore has opened up about the devastating moment she suffered a miscarriage and why she appeared on The Project straight afterwards. The TV host, who fronted the now-axed current affairs show for 13 years, invited former co-hosts Waleed Aly, Pete Helliar and Dave Hughes on Hit Network's Carrie and Tommy to discuss some of the show's most memorable moments over the years. During the roundtable discussion, the 44-year-old revealed that she suffered a miscarriage the day Lisa Wilkinson first appeared as a co-host on The Project in 2018. Despite receiving medical advice to skip the episode to get a dilation and curettage, the media personality insisted on filming, concerned what the public might think if she missed Lisa's first stint. 'I sat in front of a doctor - who said I needed to get a D&C - and I remember the words, "I can't because Lisa Wilkinson is making her first appearance on The Project tonight"' she recalled.

During the roundtable discussion, Carrie revealed that she suffered a miscarriage the day Lisa Wilkinson (left) first appeared as a co-host on The Project in 2018 She went on to say that the repercussions of missing the show felt more overwhelming than the consequences of not getting medical help due to the public's perception of her relationship with Lisa. She said: 'I sat on-air that night knowing I had a baby that had passed away inside of me, as I pretended to be laughing and having a great time… that was the power of the outside world.' Carrie later on confessed that she had the 'most fabulous professional relationship' with the former Today host, but the female duo were constantly depicted as rivals by the media. 'How embarrassing and how ridiculous. I'm mortified that was the sort of decision (I was making) but that's the power of pitting women against each other.' On Friday, an emotional Carrie struggled to hold back tears as she returned to The Project desk for the show's final episode. Carrie joined the current affairs program when it first launched in July 2009, then known as The 7PM Project. Carrie became emotional when discussing the impact the show had on both her career and personal life, particularly the boost it gave her Beanies for Brain Cancer charity. 'I wanted to raise a million dollars and I wouldn't have raised 25 million if it wasn't for you guys at home,' she said tearfully. Carrie joined the current affairs program when it first launched in July 2009, then known as The 7PM Project She then addressed the cast and crew directly, adding that if it wasn't for The Project her fundraising efforts would not have been nearly as successful. 'To this entire we started I just wanted to raise awareness and now we have a brain cancer centre with people on clinical trials,' an emotional Carrie added. Then it was time to close the show, with Waleed offering Carrie his heartfelt thanks for returning to her old stomping ground. 'Thank you for your friendship,' Carrie replied, hinting that most of the tears were shed in the lead-up to the final episode. 'We caught up yesterday and it was so emotional being there - Pete [Helliar], you and everyone backstage,' she said, with tears beginning to well in her eyes. 'I've literally got friends for life from this show,' she added. 'It had such an impact on me personally and professionally. The final episode was essentially a best-of compilation, highlighting some of the most memorable moments over its 16-year history. A raft of celebrities, including Katy Perry, Kylie Minogue, Robert Irwin, Jessica Mauboy and Kathy Lette, also chimed in to offer their fond farewells.

Beauty & The Geek star's shock transformation from reality TV glam to shaven-headed suspect in boyfriend's decapitation
A FORMER reality TV star charged with the murder of her partner was acting strangely in the weeks beforehand, locals say. Bizarre videos of Tamika Chesser, known from Beauty and the Geek, have surfaced - as cops search for the missing head of Julian Story, allegedly decapitated by her on June 17 in southern Australia. 5 5 5 Police allege Tamika, 34, murdered and dismembered Julian, 39, on the bathroom floor of his home in Port Lincoln. She then allegedly disposed of the victim's head, carrying it in a bag and dumping it in an unknown location. Tamika was arrested at the scene and charged with murder two days later. Police and emergency services are scouring cliffs and waters off the Eyre Peninsula for the missing head, Daily Mail Australia reports. Bizarre CCTV released by police - along with videos filmed by locals - shows Tamika acting strangely in the weeks leading up to the murder. Footage obtained by Channel 7 shows her at a Port Lincoln hotel wearing a long dark wig and a hat before ripping it off and screaming. Two locals told Daily Mail Australia they'd only ever seen Tamika with a shaved head since she arrived in town months ago. In another video, she is seen doing gymnastics on bars outside a coffee shop. In a third video, Tamika is seen wearing a wedding veil and standing bare-chested at the Port Lincoln War Memorial. Police earlier circulated CCTV footage and photographs of a woman, which they claim is Tamika Chesser, strolling through Port Lincoln hours after the alleged murder. Beauty & The Geek star, 34, pictured 'topless in wedding veil' in strange stunt days before arrest over partner's murder Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke told reporters last week: 'While I won't provide any further detail about that at this time, I can tragically say that we have not recovered the head of Julian Story. 'I can only imagine, and I want you to imagine, the grief this news is causing Julian's family. 'Recovering Julian's head to return it to his family so they can have a peaceful outcome, have a funeral and lay him to rest is a really important aspect for us.' Supt Fielke added: 'I'm appealing to local residents to review CCTV or dash cam footage which they may have, which may assist the investigation.' 5 Court documents earlier revealed officers found Tamika sitting in the back garden of the property 'in a catatonic and unresponsive state' before her arrest. She was also charged with disposing of human remains to pervert the course of justice and assaulting a police officer, The Telegraph reports. Police have so far not been able to find a motive, with Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott admitting there were still 'a lot of unanswered questions' in what he described as a complex crime scene. A suppression order protecting Tamika's identity and banning publication of the alleged circumstances of Julian's death was lifted on Friday. The ex-reality star, who appeared via video link, has been denied bail and remains under a mental health detention order ahead of a committal hearing set for December. Tamika's sister, Kiya-May, claimed her family is devastated by reports she'd been charged with murder. She told Daily Mail Australia: 'Please report how my sister is in a mental psychosis... This is not her... She would never do these things.' She added her sister had suffered 'a life of trauma and abuse, and now this – it has fried her brain'. Meanwhile, Julian's grieving family has thanked police, emergency workers and the community for their support during what they called an 'unimaginable loss'. 'Your care has brought comfort amid the chaos,' they said.
