Sebastian Croft was named among the winners of The Celebrity Trautors after surviving the 2026 BBC1 competition alongside comedian Romesh Ranganathan.
The 24-year-old actor from Oxford was one of the remaining contestants during the closing gathering around the firepit, having progressed through several weeks of suspicion, strategic planning and deception.
Five contestants reached the final stage of the game.
Croft competed against former Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock, musician James Blunt, television presenter Maya Jama and social media personality King Kenny.
Pinnock, who is from High Wycombe, was eliminated first in the finale when every other surviving contestant selected her for banishment.
The group then attempted to determine which of the remaining players were traitors.
Jama was banished and subsequently identified as a traitor.
Kenny departed later after a deadlock in the voting.
Blunt was then eliminated while uncertainty continued to surround his allegiance.
Croft explained that he believed both Blunt and Ranganathan were faithful but still voted for Blunt because he felt bound by his word.
That decision left Croft and Ranganathan as the last two participants.
Both men confirmed that they had begun and finished the competition as faithful members.
Ranganathan addressed Croft as Bash during the announcement, after which the pair embraced and celebrated their victory.
Croft later described the experience as incredible and said it might be the best day of his life.
Croft had also played a significant role in the concluding mission, which took place in the Scottish Highlands.
The contestants were required to locate two underground bunkers containing gold and then destroy the structures with dynamite.
During the challenge, Croft worked with Jama and Pinnock to provide vital equipment while they were suspended from the side of a helicopter.
Their team located both bunkers and successfully detonated them.
The effort contributed £18,500 to the prize pot, increasing the total available to £83,000.
Croft subsequently announced that his £41,500 portion would go to the charity Choose Love.
His commitment was praised by viewers.
Away from the competition, Croft is known for his role as Ben Hope in Netflix series Heartstopper.
Previous screen credits also include work on Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful and the feature film Horrible Histories: The Movie.
Croft was born in Oxford and attended Dragon School.
He later studied at St Edward’s School, where his A-level subjects were English, Philosophy and Film.
