Rachel’s fate was ultimately decided by chance in the final episode of The Traitors.

The 42-year-old communications manager from County Down, Northern Ireland, was one of just two original Traitors to make it through to the 2026 final episode on Friday.

The banishment was then determined when both players were forced to choose from the Chests of Chance, with Rachel ultimately finding the shield.
