Harry told Claudia that he wanted to speak to Mollie as soon as possible and was feeling guilty about taking away her chances at a share of the jackpot.
He told the Sunday Times: ‘Production came and grabbed me and was like, “Mollie wants to talk to you.” I was like, “Oh God, she’s going to right-hook me as soon as I walk in there.”
‘The first thing she did was give me a massive hug and was like, “I love but hate you at the same time.” She appreciated the way I played the game. And told me I deserved it. Credit to her – she didn’t have to do that to me at all.’
Following the nail-biting final, some viewers have suggested that Mollie may have had romantic feelings for Harry, which may have blinded her when it came to working out whether he was a Traitor.
However, Harry rubbished any speculation that they are anything more than friends, revealing that Mollie is mad about her boyfriend [Max Backwell] and they spoke continually about their respective partners.

He said: ‘When we were getting to know each other, I knew more about her boyfriend than I did about her. And it’s probably the same with me and my other half. All we would talk about together would be double dates…
‘When we became friends, that’s why we built such a close connection. We had the same interests. When I see this whole thing that she fancied me, it’s like, no chance. She loves her fella more than anything. He’s an amazing guy. I’m just really good friends with her. Why can’t two young people be close friends anyway?’

Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce were reunited again on BBC Breakfast as she shrugged off feud rumours
Harry has become one of the most talked about men in Britain following his treacherous lies which saw him crowned winner of BBC show The Traitors.
And following the win, Harry revealed that he intends to quit the Army as he prepares to make a fortune as a television star.
The Mail on Sunday revealed the showbusiness agents are already lining up to swoop in and sign him up as they believe he has the potential to become a huge star – courtesy of his good looks and cheeky personality.
BBC bosses are also said to be ‘enthralled’ by him, having noted his popularity with a younger audience, which they are keen to attract.
Harry, who hails from Slough, Berkshire, is tipped to make a ‘small fortune’ off the back of The Traitors and become the face of a high-street brand or follow in the footsteps of TV stars such as Bear Grylls and Ant Middleton, who are both ex-Special Forces.
His 86,000-strong – and growing – Instagram following also mean he will be inundated with offers from brands to endorse their products in return for five-figure sums of money.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast on Friday, he admitted that he is unlikely to return to the military where he is an aviation technician with the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers.
He said: ‘The Army has been amazing… I’m not too sure whether that’s going to be my life as such right now but they have supported me.
‘It was weird going back to work Monday to Friday, normal work. I left, did that amazing experience but couldn’t tell anyone and went back to work.

‘That was the weirdest switch. Now it has gone back to crazy.’
On Friday night, after the final was screened, Harry partied at Raffles nightclub in Chelsea with a group of friends. Sources say that he was ‘mobbed’ by other guests at the venue, which was once a favourite of the Princess of Wales.
The evening before, he was seen celebrating his win at a pub in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, with some of his co-stars including fellow traitor Paul Gorton and fan favourite Diane Carson. Harry was spotted clutching two pints of lager.
But one person who was notably absent from the get-together was his good friend during the show, Mollie.
Mollie – a disability model – insisted that the pair had moved on from the finale and said Harry had promised her a holiday to make up for his back-stabbing. ‘We have had time to process it,’ she said.
‘We are fine, it was a game, you go in with a chance of winning. It’s all good vibes. He promised me a holiday, so, I’m pretty happy with that.’
After being crowned the winner at the opulent castle in the Scottish Highlands, Harry said: ‘My legs are shaking. I just won £95,000.
‘Mollie basically is the reason I am here, I need to gain her trust back. I underestimated this massively.
‘You come here and there’s 22 amazing people, and from the off I’ve been a traitor. I’ve had enough of being naughty and being bad, because that was next level.’
