The Traitors fans are convinced, after previous series, that there could be two contestants who are secretly linked or related on the BBC series after recent scenes

Viewers of The Traitors 2024 are convinced two contestants on the show may secretly know each other outside of the series.

Of course we already know that sisters Maia and Armani are related, and they’ve made that clear to their co-stars, but fans can’t help but speculate another twist is looming. Previous series have seen a mother and son duo and a couple, with these outside links kept secret for ages.

Now, fans think recent comments and scenes on the new series might have given away another secret link. Could two of the Faithfuls be related or share a family link?

Across the first couple of episodes we have seen Faithfuls Leanne and Livi appearing quite close, in that they are often seen together, alongside Frankie, and they’re often confiding in each other. Then during a tense roundtable on Thursday that saw Elen sent home, Livi was devastated at having voted her out and being wrong.

Leanne was the first to comfort her new pal, with one viewer suggesting their closeness appeared as though they’d known each other for longer than a few days. Something else sparked suspicions, with Leanne discussing her sister-in-law.

Leanne told host Claudia Winkleman about her reasons for doing the show, and the disguise she would be taking on. Instead of revealing she was an army veteran, Leanne decided to pretend she was a nail technician.

She revealed that her sister-in-law owned a beauty salon and so she was very clued up, in case anyone had any questions to test her on her apparent career. So when Livi was revealed to be beautician, viewers were quick to speculate the pair could be connected, and maybe Livi is Leanne’s sister-in-law.

One theory read: “Leanne said her sister-in-law owned a beauty salon and she’s always in the salon and knows the ropes so if anyone asks her about her job, she can cover up saying she’s a beautician and cover up her real job of being an ex soldier of 12 years.

“LIVI is a’ beautician’ and model… is SHE Leanne’s sister in law who owns the salon? When Livi blamed herself for Elen’s roundtable banishment… Leanne also was the first to jump in and console her and tell her it wasn’t her fault. As if she was very close to her already/ knew her well.”

Could viewers be on to something? Other viewers think Leanne might be related to Francesca on the show, while Francesca is also tipped to be related to Livi. Viewers are convinced Francesca, who goes by Frankie, is someone’s mum on the show, while there’s also speculation there could be a secret couple on the series.
