Jake emphasized the importance of representing his community and how his participation held personal meaning:

“One of the big reasons I came on the show was to represent the Cerebral Palsy and disability community, showing that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Also to be able to give something back to my wife and my family as they’ve always been my biggest supporters and given me confidence in myself.”

Reflecting on The Traitors UK, Jake shared his strategic approach and the key moments that defined his journey:

“It helps when you spot a Traitor early on. I knew I needed luck, but a lot of it is building friendships and relationships and there is also a bit of skill involved, finding Traitors and being good at Missions - but I didn’t expect to get this far so I’m pretty lucky."
