Leanne Quigley, who stole our hearts and took home victory in season three's The Traitors, has some amazing news! She's readying herself—and her loved one, Sophie Jones—for some big life changes that include wedding bells and possibly a bigger family. In a recent chat, Leanne divulged that she's planning on using a slice, or maybe a chunk, a pretty big chunk actually, from her £94,600 prize winnings towards making these dreams come true.
In a nail-biting finale, Leanne and fellow contestant Jake Brown celebrated a triumphant win. Generously, Leanne split her winnings with Jake and had already earmarked some funds before even stepping onto The Traitors set. What are they earmarked? Well, they're destined toward another round with IVF, a journey she's ready and enthusiastic about tackling again with Sophie.
Wedding bells and castle dreams
Wedding planning? Oh, it has begun, folks! Leanne's excitement about their upcoming wedding plans bubbles over: "We've got wedding planning underway. We've just started," she said with infectious enthusiasm. "We haven't set a date yet, but we can get a wedding going." They've kicked off their search with visits and dreamy discussions about possible venues, with Leanne particularly enchanted by a castle wedding. "I didn't realize you could get married there. That would be so iconic. I'd just love that."
It hasn't been an easy road, with Sophie bravely battling stage-three breast cancer. But 2023 brought fantastic news: Sophie was declared cancer-free, a milestone that gives their wedding even greater significance—a fresh start on their shared journey.
Of course, Leanne's newfound friends and fellow Traitors contestants won't be left out. They're all getting invites. "We've all had a few meet-ups since leaving that castle, and every time we see each other, it's just all love. It's so lovely," Leanne gushed.
Growing their family
Already blessed with twin boys who are now lively two-year-olds, Leanne and Sophie have traveled their fair share down Parenthood Lane. Leanne shared her fertility journey, saying, "I underwent IVF with my boys, and I was quite unwell throughout pregnancy." She recalled how they faced an early labor at just six months, bringing their little ones, born at 26 weeks, two boys who had a rocky start, but are now thriving.
The beginning was tough; those tiny warriors spent three months in hospital, coming home on oxygen. Yet amidst all this, Leanne expressed immense gratitude, saying, "I'm so lucky they're alive." Now, they're eager and hopeful that a new baby could mean a smoother ride this time, allowing them moments they couldn't fully savor before.
Looking ahead with hope
For Leanne and Sophie, tomorrow's horizon looks bright and bound with promise. Their story? It shows resilience, deep love, and hope—a great testament not just their bond, but also each other's strength.
As they move toward this new chapter, Leanne's excitement pulls you in. "I'd love another baby," she shared more than once, her voice full with anticipation shared by both her and Sophie.
Got thoughts or just a little cheer? Leave them below! Let their journey be a celebration, filled with support and joy as they take these steps together.
Their story isn't just about personal victories; it beautifully reflects love's power and how community can lift us higher.
