Traitors Star Leanne Quigley Makes a Fashion Statement at Gaydio Pride Awards
Leanne Quigley, the winner of the hit reality show The Traitors, captivated onlookers as she arrived at the Gaydio Pride Awards on Friday night. The 30-year-old reality star stole the scene in a very busty black dress that showcased her sizzling curves.
A Night of Glamour and Celebration
Leanne braved the chilly weather for her night out, sporting a strapless black number that featured a cinched belt and a semi-sheer skirt. She completed her ensemble with strappy open-toe heels and a chic dark quilted shoulder bag. The annual award ceremony, which celebrates and honours LGBTQ+ contributions across the United Kingdom, saw Leanne leading the stars in attendance.
She was seen rubbing shoulders with Married at First Sight stars, including Nelly Patel and Leah Tyrer. Cosmetic dentist Nelly dazzled in a beaded figure-hugging nude gown, while Leah left little to the imagination in a racy black sheer dress.

Leanne's Post-Traitors Journey
Army veteran Leanne, who served in the British Army for 12 years, appeared on This Morning last year after her Traitors stint to discuss her momentous win. She and Jake Brown were the last contestants standing, but she revealed she had yet to receive her share of the £94,600 prize fund. Previous winner Harry Clarke did not get his money until days after the final aired.
When asked on the ITV chat show if she had received the money yet, host Ben Shephard noted, 'You have to wait for the show to air before you get your winnings - has it arrived yet?' Leanne replied, 'No, not yet. No.'
Future Plans and Personal Life
Leanne has previously mentioned her plans to use the prize money for further IVF rounds and her upcoming wedding to fiancée Sophie Jones. In a previous interview, she stated, 'No, not quite yet, we absolutely haven't had it yet. So, when that time comes, I think we'll go on a nice family holiday.'
On This Morning, she elaborated, 'I mentioned that I would love to have another baby, I'd love to try for IVF again and give my little boys a sibling. Also, we have a wedding to plan now. I got engaged back in August, which is just the best feeling. [My boys] are just amazing and they're warriors and they don't even know it.'
