The Traitors fans are convinced they’ve spotted a secret familial link among the cast of the 2024 series… and it seems like it could be true. There have only been three episodes so far of the gripping murder mystery reality game, hosted by the delightfully camp Claudia Winkleman, but it already has viewers on the edge of their seats.

In the very first episode, three contestants were supposedly axed from the programme before they even reached the castle, and then it was revealed that three powerhouse women had been chosen as this year’s inaugural Traitors. One of the Traitors, Armani Gouveia, revealed at the very start of the competition that she was taking part with her sister, Maia Gouveia. However, they might not be the only relatives trying to win the jackpot prize.

Some sleuthing fans reckon they’ve spotted another pair of players who might actually have a connection outside of the castle. Lisa Coupland, 62, is an Anglican priest from Cornwall, although she hasn’t revealed her profession to the other members of the cast as of yet.
