Throughout the show, the mother-of-three shared how the prize money would allow her to make memories with her mum, who was tragically diagnosed with Parkinson's when she was just 47 and in her last few years with dementia. 

However a few weeks ago, in a tragic turn of events just days after Friday's final, Rachel shared the devastating news that her mother had passed away.

On Sunday, Rachel took to Instagram where she shared a montage of photos and an emotional message. She wrote: 'Thank you Mummy, thank you for loving us so much.

'Thank you for teaching us our worth. Thank you for so much kindness shown and taught. Thank you for endless laughs and lots of fun. Thank you for helping us parent our babies. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when we needed one.

'Thank you for the many words of wisdom over the years. Thank you for showing us the true meaning of integrity. 

Thank you for giving us a beautiful life. Thank you for a lifetime of happy memories. Thank you for being our mummy. We love you x'.

Rachel's Traitors co-stars rallied around her in the comments. Dr Ellie Buckley wrote: 'You and your family are in my thoughts, sending lots of love';

While filming for the show wrapped months ago, Rachel and Stephen are yet to receive their share of the £95,750 prize pot, meaning that tragically Rachel was robbed of treating Anne to the holiday she dreamt of. 

Despite winning £47,000 each, contestants don't receive the prize money until after the show, and on Monday Stephen revealed the money was yet to hit his account. 

Appearing on This Morning, host Cat Deeley asked the star how many times he had checked his banking app since the final.

Laughing, Stephen replied: 'It's not in there yet. But, yeah, I'm not checking because I just want to get a nice surprise when it finally comes in. But yeah, not yet.' 

Speaking during the show at a dinner party with the final eight contestants, Rachel shared her mother's story with the group. 

Struggling to control her emotions she began: 'I would like to do something for my mummy who has been very ill for a long time. 

'She was diagnosed with Parkinson's when she was only 47 and I have watched her my whole adult life just put her whole life on hold for other people. 

'And she was diagnosed with dementia recently and all she wants to do is go on a holiday.'

Explaining what she would use the money for she added: 'And I think if I were to win the money it would be to take her and my kids on holiday and make memories while she still has her memories.

'I think life is so precious and I really really want it for my mum because she did everything for us and I think now it's her time for us to look after her.'
