The Traitors: Aaron Evans overwhelmed by messages from male viewers

The Traitors’ star Aaron Evans has been overwhelmed by the positive response he’s had from male viewers of the show after showing his vulnerable side on television.

Contestant of the BBC show Aaron, 24 – who won the £101,050 prize with Meryl Williams and Hannah Byczkowski during Thursday’s episode – revealed he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during his time on the series.

The property agent was unafraid to share his emotions during the series’ heated roundtables, with his actions prompting viewers to send him heartwarming messages of thanks on social media.

When asked if he’d been contacted by fans after the show, he told MailOnline and other media on Friday: ‘Yeah, mainly from men.

‘It feels so weird because looking back I was just trying to be myself and I would say I’m quite an emotional person and they message me and say, “This has helped me so much” and “thank you so much for opening up on national TV”. 

‘At a point I was like, I wish I wasn’t so emotional, but as soon as I got a message saying, “I’m so glad you did that, it’s helped me out so much”, I was more than relieved.’

Aaron insisted he didn’t intend to be a role model for viewers, adding that he didn’t set out to showcase his ADHD or raise awareness. 

He explained: ‘I’m not going to lie, I went in there with a game plan and by the second day it had gone out the window anyway. 

‘The only game I was playing was when I was on the challenges, I just wanted to smash the challenge every time. 

‘I think I was just being myself the whole way through.’

Meanwhile, Aaron is hoping for a return to reality television, admitting he’d be open to trying out any show that comes along.

However, he is adamant he wouldn’t appear on Love Island as he doesn’t think he’s built for the popular ITV2 series.

He said: ‘If anything comes along I’d be more than happy to, it’s so much fun so I’d definitely do something again, but I don’t know about Love Island. 

‘I don’t think I’m cut out for Love Island. Any reality TV show I’d be more than up for.’  

BBC’s The Traitors came to an end on Thursday as Aaron, Hannah and Meryl won the whopping prize fund of £101,050, split evenly between them.

It was a close call for the three winners after Wilfred Webster almost made it before being caught out as he and fellow traitor Kieran Tompsett turned on one another.
