The Traitors's four biggest conspiracy theories debunked as BBC show grips nation
Share:
The nation is once again gripped by The Traitors - as contestants deceive and manipulate in an attempt to win a £120,000 cash prize. The BBC show, now into its third series, divides participants into "Faithfuls" and "Traitors", with their identities kept secret. It's then up to the Faithfuls to sniff out the Traitors and boot them off the show.
The Traitors is already attracting more viewers each week than last season, with around nine million watching each of the three episodes of this series. The twists and surprises, sprung on the contestants and audience alike, keep viewers on the edge of their seats and create huge discussion online.
But this has led to conspiracy theories – some plausible, others totally bonkers – about this year's crop of contestants, whom include a landscape gardener from Yorkshire and posh interior designer from East Sussex. One superfan has shed a light on the latest conspiracy theories as the programme, presented by 53-year-old Claudia Winkleman in the Scottish Highlands, is tonight going to air its seventh episode of the series.
Claudia Connell, who is a The Traitors superfan, noticed chatter online to suggest Charlotte Berman and Alexander Dragonetti are actually a couple,. They're both from London, and have similar accents. Charlotte, a business director, fought tooth and nail in the mission to save Alexander, and they seem to be flirty and familiar with each other.
But Claudia has taken a deeper dive to deny this theory. She wrote for the Mail Online: "Charlotte is indeed with Alexander... just not that one. She's been married for two years to her husband Alexander and they have a black Labrador called Bobbie. The pair were happily together at Christmas (The Traitors was filmed last summer) ruling out the theory she is coupled up with anyone else.".
