The Traitors Faraaz Noor was left 'crying his eyes out' after PLT boss offered to pay for his family pilgrimage

He may not have succeeded in beating the traitors, but Faraaz Noor's winning dream looks set to come true after billionaire Umar Kamani promised to pay for him and his family to go to Haji. 

During the BBC show the 22-year-old shared that he if he won he wished to use the prize money to take his family on a pilgrimage to Mecca. 

He told his fellow contestants: 'For me, being Muslim, Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam.

'Completing that pilgrimage in Saudi, going to Mecca. If I was to win the money, I'd love to be able to treat the family and all of us go as one.' 

Yet after failing to catch traitors Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby who went on to win the £95,750 prize pot it seemed Faraaz wouldn't be able to treat his family. 

However shortly after the show's finale aired, Pretty Little Thing co-founder Umar took to Twitter as he penned: 'I would love to send Faraaz from Traitors and his family to Hajj.'

And speaking at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026 earlier this week Faraaz revealed he couldn't stop crying after receiving the news.

He recalled: 'I came back and I was talking to my mum and I was like, I just can't… to Umar, I'm so grateful, Alhamdulillah, I was literally crying my eyes out honestly. I couldn't believe it.'

Despite falling at the last hurdle of the BBC show, Faraaz said in an interview after the show that his dream of taking his family on the pilgrimage was still alive.

He told the BBC: 'Inshallah, one day I'll be able to hopefully take them to Hajj or even complete Umrah. I'm looking forward to that.'

It comes after Faraaz revealed the 'key' decision that ended up costing him the £95,750 prize after he changed his mind regarding his suspicions of Rachel. 

Rachel and Stephen scooped up £47,875 each on the hit BBC series after they went head-to-head with Faraaz, 22, Jade Scott, 25, James Baker, 38, and Jack Butler, 29, in the final.

And now Faraaz has revealed the moment that Rachel had perfected her role as a Traitor and changed his suspicions of her.

When he was asked what the key decision was that didn't see him through to victory, he said it was something that Rachel had said to him just before his final moments.

Speaking on Sky News' Mornings With Ridge and Frost, he said: 'I think for me it was Chest of Chance with James and Rachel. When Rachel said to me after the round table that 'I just want to stand up there and rub it in all your faces that I'm a Faithful that I'm faithful', that is exactly how I felt.

'And me being a Faithful I really resonated that and that sort of tipped me so I was toying between, do I protect myself and vote Rachel or do I know I am right with Stephen and stick with Stephen.

'It was really 50/50 and my mind was made up when I stood there.'

During the final episode, the group ultimately chose to banish Faraaz first, before voting to eliminate Jack in a dramatic second round of banishment.

Traitors Rachel and Stephen were left overwhelmed with emotion as host Claudia Winkleman announced they had won the game.

The duo then celebrated their victory with glasses of bubbly as they reflected on their unforgettable time on the show.

Following their win, the duo appeared on The Traitors spin-off show Uncloaked to reflect on the intense finale.

Rachel said: 'I was so nervous for Stephen, so watching it back, it made me cry.'

Stephen added: 'I didn't know what I was going to do, watching it back, I can see in my face. I'm just so proud of the decision that I made, proud of myself and Rachel.'
