BBC The Traitors fans speculate about whether two contestants are related as they say 'I am convinced'

The new series of The Traitors is well underway and fans have been speculating online about whether there could be more secrets left to reveal within the castle.

So far on the hit BBC show, three faithfuls have been eliminated plus one traitor has been weeded out. A shock twist was revealed on Wednesday night (January 8) when two eliminated contestants returned for a second chance.

Eliminated contestants Fozia and Alexander were picked by the other competitors and returned to the show as faithfuls, while Jack was forced to leave the show - again.

Kas was chosen during the roundtable group vote to be the next contestant to be eliminated from the show, which led to scrutiny online due to "bullying" accusations.

But there is another thing that fans are speculating about online. Viewers have theorised that there might be some people in the castle that actually already know each other, or are even related.

On X, formerly Twitter, @TimBolton1981 wrote: "I also have an inkling that 2 of the people left are related in some way. It just hasn't been revealed yet."

@Vicky_LHardwick suggested: "Why do I feel like Joe and Dan from #TheTraitors are related They bicker like siblings at the round table and they look so alike!", and @Chelseeea92 said: "Frankie & Joe are related I am convinced!! There's something more to these 2 mark my words".

The speculation keeps on going as @Manf27 said: "Shoot me down.. but I think Joe and Dan are related", and @JodieOfficial1 agrees: "Nah but Joe and Dan I think knew each other outside the show, unsure if they are related or together but when Joe rolled his eyes at Dan… that made me think there’s something going on here!!".

@Benj1030 said: "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’."

The Traitors is notorious for pulling shock twists out as the series goes on, so fans should sit back and enjoy the ride.

Traitors is on at 9pm every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
