Traitors fans spot moment mum Judy and daughters Roxy's cover is blown – and none of the contestants noticed
OMG!The Traitors returned to screens last night (Thursday, January 1), and the deception and twists were there from the start.
It emerged during the first episode that a mother-daughter duo is in the castle together. However, their cover was nearly blown during a challenge – and none of the other contestants noticed!
Mother-daughter duo in The Traitors
Last night’s episode saw two contestants reveal a secret link – they’re mother and daughter!
The revelation came after the challenge, which saw the contestants drag coffins containing money out of the lake, via rowing boats, and put them in graves on dry land.
After the trial, the contestants debated who they think may be a Traitor. Judy’s name was brought up, which set off alarm bells for Roxy. Why? Because Judy is her mother!
“I don’t know if she’s a Traitor or not. Judy seems lovely, but I’m bound to say that, considering she’s my mum,” she revealed.
However, eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that Roxy actually let slip that Judy is her mum earlier in the show, during the challenge, and NO-ONE NOTICED!
Roxy’s slip-up
During the challenge, Roxy and Judy were in the same rowing boat.
At one point during the challenge, Roxy called for her teammates to stop rowing – but called Judy “Mum” by accident!
“Stop mum, stop, stop, stop guys,” she shouted. However, none of the other contestants heard the slip up.
But the viewers did.
“‘Wait. Have I missed something, or is there another secret mother and child in the game?” one viewer tweeted.
“Had to go back and check and OMG way to blow your secret!” another said.
“How nobody else in the boat heard it, I have no idea. They didn’t even catch it on Uncloaked,” a third wrote.
“I thought it was a secret, but Roxy called Judy ‘Mum’ in the challenge?!” another pointed out.
Body language expert on Roxy and Judy’s connection being revealed
Speaking to Paddy Power Bingo, body language expert Judi James has weighed in on Roxy and Judy’s secret connection, and the fact that it was revealed in just the first episode.
“Along with the lack of smug [Traitors, now there is a secret Traitor pulling the strings], we also got paranoid thanks to the secret mother-daughter reveal. Did it come too early, or were their hands forced when Roxy appeared to call Judy ‘mum’ during their boat exercise?” Judi mused.
“By revealing this ‘secret’ in episode one, the producers have implied there’s more to come and that ‘family tree’ framed pic will fuel this idea.”
Will more connections come out as the series goes on? We can’t wait to find out!
The Traitors continues tonight (Friday, January 2) at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
