Viewers of The Traitors want fan-favourite Alexander to win the cash prize after he revealed he would donate the money to charity.
During Friday night’s episode (January 17), Alexander said that if he were to win a portion of the money, he would give his money to a charity after his younger brother, who was diagnosed with Global developmental delay, died during his teens.
He explained that his brother had “special needs” and used to go to a summer camp. “I would love to send some money their way to keep them going because it gives parents a break,” he told the remaining contestants.

‘It gives respite for parents’
In an interview with BBC for the show, Alexander said the charity of choice is The Royal Mencap Society.
“My brother used to go to a Mencap holiday every year and it gives respite for parents so that special needs kids can have a holiday and so can parents, which was awesome,” he said.
“I was a carer at Mencap five years running and I really enjoyed it, my brother really enjoyed it and my parents got a break too and I’d like to help bankroll that a bit.”
Alexander also said he would spend some of the money to buy a flat.
