FANS of The Traitors have uncovered a major secret as they’re convinced that two contestants are related in a shock twist.
In 2024’s series, Ross left players stunned as he revealed that fellow contestant Diane was his mum.
And fans think the 2025 series has yet another mum-and-son twist as they predict that two contestants are related.
Last night, Freddie, 20, had to be comforted by his fellow contestants as he broke down in tears following a tense exchange.
Francesca, 44, was quick to comfort Freddie, with their sweet moment coming after Freddie had gushed over hanging out with the older women of the group due to being an only child of a single mother.
Fans are now convinced that the show is hiding a huge secret, with some viewers certain that Freddie and Francesca are related.
Some reckon that Francesca could be Freddie’s mum, while others think she might be his aunt.
“The next secret could be these two being related, I’m thinking Francesca is Freddie’s Mum or Auntie. They both burst into tears when she voted him, he mentioned his single mum, she has a son ‘about his age’,” penned one person on X who was seemingly convinced.
Another person on the platform also thought the same when they said: “Freddie is definitely Francesca’s son… right?”
A third then sparked a massive debate when they said: “Locking in my prediction that Francesca is Freddie’s mum.”
Replying to the prediction, one person said: “AUNTIE or something like they HAVEEE to be related.”
“When he said ‘she’s like a mum to me in here’ paired with her mention of being a single mum in the previous episode and Freddie mentioning he’s a single child to a single parent this episode hmmmm,” added a second.
A third then penned: “I thought this too but I think she said she has ‘boys’ (so more than one) and he said he’s an only child?
“Defo think she’s his auntie or something tho because why are they both crying and hugging so much?!?! “
While a fourth shut down rumours when they penned: “Nah they’ve done the mum/son thing once.”
This comes after this week’s second installment of the hit show left fans questioning one player.
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
Viewers were confused by one of the contestants’ strange moves in the game on Thursday night.
Anna Duke, 28, is a swimming teacher from Wicklow, and during tonight’s episode, she was offered the chance to become a Traitor.
But remaining faithful to being a Faithful, Anna decided to turn down the Traitor’s offer to recruit her as a Traitor – which is a rare move among contestants.
She then decided not to tell any of her fellow players that she had been offered the tempting switch up to become a Traitor, with viewers confused as to why she kept it a secret.
“Very confused, I don’t feel like there’s any reason to not tell anyone they tried to recruit her,” penned one person on X.
Another then echoed: “Why? Why would you not just announce to the table – ‘they tried to recruit me last night, I turned it down, and that’s why no-one was murdered’? It’s the most obvious thing imaginable if they think they’re going to kill you anyway.”
