Alexander Dragonetti

Alexander Dragonetti is a former British Diplomat, who rose to prominence as the “People’s Champion” on the 2025 series of The Traitors.

Alexander’s role as a faithful is the latest in a remarkable career spanning education, diplomacy and healthcare. He spent several years as a teacher in a socially disadvantaged and highly challenging London school before joining the Foreign Office. During his time in the FCDO Alexander was stationed in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Ireland. He led crisis deployment teams to Nepal after earthquakes, met tribes in Pakistani Hindu Kush, spent time in Gaza to trauma assess staff, receiving several awards and commendations from the civil service.

Outside of work Alexander is a dedicated activist for causes surrounding education, disability and health. He is particularly open about his support for Mencap, an organisation that supports people with learning disabilities and their families. After speaking about his personal connection to the charity while on The Traitors, he inspired a public response, raising nearly £90,000 in donations.

Keen on adventure, Alexander has visited some unusual places. He traversed all 15 of London’s disused underground stations, explored the sewers of Bologna and in 2016 travelled to Murmansk to see a nuclear icebreaker as well as the world's northernmost McDonald's.

Alexander is now lives and works in London and spends his free time singing in a choir, learning the piano and planning more obscure adventures.
