FANS of The Traitors have been taken aback by a huge twist in the show as one player revealed a secret up their sleeve.
When one contestant joked that they thought Paul was Diane’s son because he has a similar hair colour to her, she made a shocking revelation.
Her son IS in fact on the show – but it’s not Paul, it’s 28-year-old Ross.
The only clue viewers had was that he is from Lancashire, as is former schoolteacher Diane.
A clip was then played of the mother and son traveling up towards The Traitors‘ castle by train.
They agreed not to discuss their familial relationship on the show, but planned to secretly partner up so that if one of them won they would both share the prize.

Apart from one moment when Diane pulled Ross aside to warn him about who to socialise with, the pair have not interacted.
Ross even took pretending not to know his mum to the next level, joking to her face at the banquet table that his mother makes terrible Sunday roasts.
This meant their fellow players and audience members alike did not figure out their secret, leaving viewers shocked to find out the truth.
One exclaimed: “NO FRICKING WAY!! … how was that just casually dropped in episode 3!? Ross and Diane whaaaaat!”

A second asked: “Did anyone else’s mouth drop down for about 10 minutes after the Diane/Ross twist????”
Someone else gushed: “BAFTA need to give Diane & Ross the Best Actor and Actress awards next year because this is a PERFORMANCE.”
People also loved Diane’s delivery of the information, comparing it to Coleen Rooney’s famous Instagram bombshell.
One incredulous watcher tweeted: “Diane having her WagathaChristie moment with ‘Paul is not my son, but Ross is.’ Superb.”
Another agreed: “‘Paul just couldn’t be my son… but Ross is’ is the new ‘it’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account’.”
A third wrote: “Dianne delivering the news about her son being Ross like Colleen Rooney announcing it was Rebecca Vardy’s account, TV highlight of 2024 sewn up 5 days in!”
