Aaron was looking for love!

Author: Charlotte RoszkoPublished 9th Feb 2024

The Traitors series one winner Aaron Evans appeared on Channel 4's First Dates, where he revealed what he did with his share of the prize money. The 26-year-old took home a share of the £101,050 prize pot on the show, splitting it with fellow Faithfuls Meryl Williams and Hannah Byczkowski.

On Tuesday's (6th February) episode of First Dates, viewers saw Aaron get matched with student Laura as he looked for love. Prior to the date, Aaron told bartender Merlin Griffiths what he did with his share of the prize money, explaining that he gave the majority of it to his mum.

He said: "I got to the final and won like 33 grand. I ended up giving the money to my mum anyway. Well, I gave her the 33 grand and then asked for three grand back because I was skint."

Aaron's date Laura was unaware of his reality TV past, so was confused when a fellow diner asked Aaron for a selfie during their date. When she asked him why someone wanted a picture with him, Aaron cheekily replied: "I'm Brad Pitt!"

Laura then said: "What's going on? I'm being pranked!"

Taking to social media, viewers shared their love for Aaron as he returned to their screens. Posting on X, one person said: 'Aaron Traitors is such a sweet boy. Good for him!' Another person wrote: 'omg aaron from #thetraitors is on First Dates now!!' (sic)

One fan posted: 'Seeing that Aaron from The Traitors S1 gave all his prize money to his mum.'
