‘Traitors’ star Faraaz Noor meets Umar Kamani after funded Hajj offer

The Traitors finalist Faraaz Noor has finally met Umar Kamani after taking the entrepreneur up on his offer to fund his Hajj pilgrimage.

Faraaz, 23, met the PrettyLittleThing founder in person for the first time and posed for photographers at the launch of Kamani Living at The Dorchester hotel in London on Thursday night.

The exclusive event comes a month after Umar offered to pay for Faraaz and his family to undertake Hajj.

He made the offer publicly on X after Faraaz shared on The Traitors that he wanted to use the prize money to take his family on the Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Although he missed out on the money in the final, Faraaz still hoped to take a Hajj trip, and Umar has now made his dream come true.

Faraaz has now applied for the visas and Umar is covering the full cost for the entire family.

Hajj, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is a sacred annual pilgrimage that is required of every Muslim at least once in their lifetime. This year's Hajj takes place between 24 and 29 May.

Faraaz, the youngest contestant in the most recent series, was the first finalist to be voted out during the final in January, with traitors Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy eventually taking home the £95,750 prize.

Thursday's private event focused on property investment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Guests, including twin socialites Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, were treated to a set from The X Factor winner and Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis.
