Maya Jama, star of Celebrity Traitors, donated £83,500 to Action for Children after narrowly missing out on winning the final episode, matching exactly what she would have won had she claimed victory. The 32-year-old Love Island host shared her decision on social media following the show's broadcast, writing: "Just donated what I would have won for my chosen charity @ActnForChildren. Amazing cause." King Kenny, Jama’s fellow traitor and contestant, voted against her at the final roundtable, securing her elimination despite both being original traitors in the game. Action for Children confirmed receiving the donation from Jama, praising her gesture as “incredibly generous” given her personal experiences of food insecurity growing up. The charity works to support vulnerable children facing poverty, abuse, and housing issues across the UK.
