The latest series of BBC One's hit reality show The Traitors has been rocked by another potential secret connection, according to a recently banished player.
Castle Whispers of a Hidden Family Link
Judy Wilson, the first contestant to be voted off the show, has revealed that speculation is rife among the remaining players about a possible father-and-son pairing. Speaking to The Metro, Judy said she and others strongly suspect contestants Faraaz Noor and Maz Bana are related.
"I think there could be more secret connections," Judy stated. "There was a lot of speculation when I was in there about Faraaz and Maz – are they son and dad? We kept thinking that."
This theory comes hot on the heels of the dramatic revelation that banished player Ross Garshong is actually the boyfriend of fellow contestant Ellie Buckley. Their secret relationship was confirmed after weeks of intense online detective work by fans, who had spotted them together in social media photos.
Viewers Join the Detective Work
The suspicion surrounding Faraaz and Maz is not confined to the castle. Sharp-eyed viewers on social media platform X have also been vocal about the pair's striking similarities.
One user pointed out their identical side profiles, while another commented on their "hot dad, hot son vibe" and noted their names both end in ‘az’. A third viewer added to the speculation, citing matching facial features, bone structure, and a shared calm demeanour.
Judy entered the game herself as part of a secret duo with her daughter, Roxy, who continues to play as a Faithful. The show's format, which encourages deception, has already seen several hidden relationships come to light, including the recent unveiling of Fiona Hughes as a secret Traitor.
The Game Continues With High Stakes
Following the banishment of Traitor Hugo Lodge, the remaining players are on a mission to uncover the rest of the deceitful team. Fiona Hughes, along with fellow Traitors Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy, must continue to hide their true identities to have a chance at winning the prize fund, which stands at up to £120,000.
With Judy's claims adding fresh intrigue, the pressure inside the Scottish castle is mounting. The Faithful will be scrutinising every interaction, while the Traitors plot their next move. The Traitors continues tonight at 8 pm on BBC One.
