Who pays the prize money?
The prize money for The Traitors, including the £83,000 won by Romesh Ranganathan and Bash Croft, comes from the production company, not directly from the BBC. This is standard practice for many reality TV shows, where the prize fund is part of the overall production budget. The BBC pays for the rights to broadcast the show.
