Michael Sheen celebrates birthday with message from The Traitors' Diane
"Diane might not be celebrating a birthday today... but Michael is."
Michael Sheen celebrates his 55th birthday today – and the Good Omens actor received a special video message from The Traitors star Diane Carson to mark the occasion.
The video was posted on Instagram by Sheen's partner and Staged co-star Anna Lundberg, who wrote that she had "peaked in birthday presents" by organising the message.
In the clip, Diane introduces herself before saying, "Diane might not be celebrating a birthday today... but Michael is," referencing the now-iconic delivery of her revelation that Traitors castmate Ross was her son.
She continues: "I do know, Michael, that you're going to be rehearsing at The National today during your birthday.

She then goes on to reference another famous moment from her time on the hugely popular reality show, telling him: "When you are celebrating, just make sure that you drink plenty of fizzy rosé – just don't let Miles serve it to you!"
Diane then signs off: "Cheers, and enjoy your birthday."
Judging from Lundberg's post, it looks like Sheen greatly enjoyed the video, with her caption mentioning that "he absolutely lost it".
