The moment The Traitors ‘icon’ Ross reveals Diane is his mum and no one noticed

Epic!

Last night’s (January 18) episode of The Traitors saw faithful Ross reveal that Diane is his mum to the other contestants – and no one took notice!

During the early stages of the competition, viewers were left stunned when Diane dropped the bombshell that Ross is her son. The pair kept their connection a secret from everyone else. However, Zack once suspected that Paul was Diane’s son. The pair found the assumption hilarious.

The Traitors: Ross slyly reveals Diane is his mum

During Wednesday’s episode, fan-favourite Diane was murdered by the Traitors after drinking from the poisoned chalice. Her brutal exit the following episode saw her get shut into a coffin during a funeral scene.

After last night’s mission, Ross said in the car that Diane would be urging them to banish another Traitor at the round table.

“Diane will be looking down on us now going ‘go get those Traitors guys, go get the Traitors now,'” he said while impersonating her accent.

“I love her, she was like my mum,” Jasmine replied. Referring back to Zack’s theory, Paul joked: “She was my mum.”

Not realising that he wasn’t joking, Ross slyly added: “She was my mum first! No stop it!” while winking directly at the camera.
