Eagle-eyed fans of the BBC's hit reality show The Traitors believe they have uncovered a secret connection between two contestants, Jessie and Jack, following a revealing moment in a recent mission.
The Cage Mission Clue
During the mission broadcast on Monday evening, Jack was one of the Faithfuls locked in a cage by the Traitors. In a bid to save him from potential murder, fellow contestant Jessie, a 28-year-old hairstylist from Hull, chose to work specifically to free him. Her determined effort and their apparent comfort with each other sparked immediate suspicion among the audience.
While four others—Stephen, Maz, Reece, and Sam—remained caged and awaiting their fate, Jessie's focused actions to rescue Jack stood out. Fans took to social media to dissect the pair's interaction, noting their physical ease and supportive comments.
Fan Theories Run Riot
Despite the fact that Jack, a 29-year-old personal trainer from Essex, appears to be in a relationship with another woman based on his Instagram, viewers are convinced a pre-existing bond exists. One popular theory suggests they are a couple, with a fan pointing out Jessie might have said "love you" when selecting him and their palpable chemistry.
"It seemed very clear to me that Jessie and Jack are a couple after today's episode," one viewer wrote online. Another countered the romance angle but suggested family ties: "They may not have been a couple but somehow related. The way he said he was 'so proud' of her... I don't think you'd be that proud of a complete stranger."
Other plausible connections floated by the fanbase include them being cousins, exceptionally close siblings, or best friends. A third comment summed up the speculation: "Yeah I was thinking cousins. They seem to know each other and have a bond that would already been there."
Contestants' Personal Dreams
The potential connection adds an intriguing layer to their individual motivations for being on the show. Upon entering, Jack revealed his plans for the prize money, stating he would use it as a deposit for a property for him and his girlfriend, complete with a dream garden gym studio.
Similarly, Jessie shared her heartfelt goal to pay off her mum's house as a thank you for her upbringing, with any leftover funds going into her business.
Whether close friends, relatives, or simply two contestants who clicked, the suspected link between Jessie and Jack has become a major talking point for The Traitors audience, proving that off-screen relationships can be just as compelling as the game itself.
