Host Claudia Winkleman appeared emotional as she said: "Two traitors but totally faithful to each other. You did it. You absolutely did it."

Rachel Duffy said: "It's the best feeling in the world. I really thought it was such a big achievement to be the first female traitor to make it to the final.

"And then to win. I think it will be a very long time until you get the smile off my face.

"I'm really looking forward to not having to lie.

"That's a lot, that's a lot of lying, so I'm looking forward to just breathing and just making the nicest memories with my mom that I will remember forever."

As they celebrated their win, Stephen Libby told Rachel Duffy: "I'll be honest, I had moments where I was doubting what I was going to do tonight, but I couldn't go back on my word to you.

"It just wasn't worth the money and I couldn't have walked out of here by lying to you."

He added: "I'm just a wee boy from the Isle of Lewis, this kind of stuff doesn't really happen to me.
