Alexander Dragonetti, a former British diplomat, captured hearts on BBC's The Traitors with his charm, politeness, and unexpected talents. Though he didn't win the £94,600 prize, his memorable moments and heartwarming story have made him a fan favorite. Experts predict Dragonetti's star will continue to rise, with potential earnings exceeding £500,000 through brand deals and television appearances.
Despite not winning the cash prize on The Traitors , Alexander Dragonetti has become one of the most memorable contestants in the history of the BBC series. The winners of the show's third series were revealed in a dramatic finale last night, with Leanne and Jake taking home the £94,600 jackpot. Throughout the series, Dragonetti, a former British diplomat, provided some of the most talked-about moments.
From his comical tumble into shrubbery to his impressive display of operatic singing and surprising bursts of speed, he entertained viewers. His unwavering politeness, even in the face of conflict at the Round Table, earned him the nickname 'people's princess' from fans, reported Surrey Live.Before entering the Traitors mansion, Dragonetti spoke to the BBC about his reasons for participating. He said, 'I've lived around the world in different countries. I hope this will be something I'll enjoy... and if not, it'll be something new. Secondly, I think it would be fun to bring my diplomatic skills to the game - a diplomat is meant to win people over and be good at influencing and negotiating. And finally, it's a show with heart.' During the series, Dragonetti shared a touching moment about his late brother, revealing his plans to donate part of any winnings to The Royal Mencap Society. He highlighted the invaluable support the charity provided for both his brother and their parents, as reported by Wales Online. 'I was a carer at Mencap for 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,' he said.While Dragonetti didn't win the grand prize, his popularity has soared. It is estimated that, with upcoming brand deals and television appearances, he could make over £500,000. PR specialist Lyn Carratt commented, 'I believe he could make in excess of £500,000 this year with TV and brand deals. He could definitely appear on Celebrity SAS.' She added that other entertaining characters on the show, like Linda and Minah, could also capitalize on their newfound fame, potentially earning over £250,000 each this year.
