The Traitors unveils another shock parent and child duo – did you guess who they were?

The impact that the Diane and Ross reveal had on The Traitors has never been topped, but there could be another parent and child duo coming to take their crown.

The Traitors returned in epic fashion tonight, with plenty of twists and turns for viewers to get stuck into. From the very start, audiences were gripped as the show introduced a Secret Traitor, but that wasn't all, as two players were revealed to be a mother and daughter.

It was quite the shock given neither contestant interacted with one another before the reveal, and they don't plan on sharing the link anytime soon.

Judy, who has roused suspicion amongst the Faithful, was taken out to the front of the castle by Roxy amidst rumours she could be one of the players working against the others in plain sight.

"James is running wild saying Judy is a Traitor. 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," Roxy said in a mic-drop moment.

She added: "We're keeping it a secret just because I think if you come as a pair, it's almost like an alliance. I feel so protective over her and hearing anyone cast doubt on her actions is just generally not quite nice."

Judy then shared that she adopted Roxy when she was around five years old, saying that it "was the best thing I ever did."

"She's just an amazing person inside and out, don't ever underestimate her because she's a very strong person as well," Judy added.

"One of the great things about our regular series is that the contestants can come in with secrets, whether that's about their lives or secret relationships," Studio Lamber's creative director Mike Cotton said of the Judy and Roxy twist.

"We don't actually ever know when we're going to deploy it when we're going into the filming. They wait to see how it plays out and then decide where we want to reveal that."

So far, no one has suspected that Judy and Roxy could be related and it's clear the Faithful may not take to it too kindly if it were to be revealed, especially given that another two players also share a link.

While neither of them knew the other would be on the show, Ross and Nettie had a warm reunion after not seeing each other for over a decade, and while they're not working together, it could be just enough for their names to be spread around the roundtable...

The Traitors season 4 continues on Friday 2nd January at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Seasons 1-3 are available to watch on iPlayer now.
