Faraaz Noor, former Newcastle student from Middlesborough, made it to the final four on the Traitors UK (2022), narrowly missing out on the £95,750 prize.

The 22-year-old internal auditor (and amateur food critic) was the youngest contestant on the fourth season, and dreamt of taking his family on a pilgrimage to Mecca had he won the prize money.

Faraaz studied Accounting and Finance at Newcastle University

Faraaz, who studied Accounting and Finance at Newcastle University, formed a brief alliance with the last remaining Faithful, Jack, presenting a plan to tactically vote out Traitors Stephen and Rachel, leaving the two Faithfuls to split the prize money.

However, Faraaz’s plan failed and he was banished from the game, placing fourth.

But his dream of taking his family on a religious pilgrimage may still be in the pipeline. UK-based billionaire Umar Kamani, co-founder of online fashion giant Pretty Little Thing, took to X to write: "I would love to send Faraaz from Traitors and his family to Hajj."

The 2024 Newcastle graduate published videos on his social media profiles, with the caption ‘Alhamdulilah for everything’, thanking the Traitors’ production team, and congratulating Rachel and Stephen on their well-deserved win.
