The truth about Ross and Diane’s secret in The Traitors comes from an unexpected source… Richard Osman.
It’s been three weeks since the nation collectively gasped when Diane sniggered, ‘Paul couldn’t be my son… but Ross is,’ and no one is over it yet.
House of Games host Richard, who, of course, has a famous cousin, has truly struck us off with this brand new knowledge, which just adds to the legendary nature of the event.
On his podcast, The Rest is Entertainment, he told co-host Marina Hyde: ‘I was talking to someone on the team and they had to keep it a secret, even in the production office, that Diane and Ross were mother and son and because it was Diana and Ross their code name was… The Supremes. ‘
Of course, since the killing phrase was uttered, Diane has been murdered by the traitors and given the most campy send-off possible.
The traitors were entrusted with giving a poisoned cup to a loyal of their choice, who would be slain if they were the first contender to drink from it.
Diane’s love of effervescent rosé proved to be her undoing, as she enthusiastically took Miles’ chalice and guzzled down her nightcap, unaware that it would be her demise.
As the poison took its time killing Diane, Claudia led her to her own coffin and slammed the door shut, but not before sneakily saying farewell to her son.
Just as it appeared that the Diana-Ross narrative was done, Harry and Andrew recruited Ross as a traitor, unaware that he is out for revenge for his mother’s death.
Films have won Academy Awards for less.
The Traitors continues Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on BBC One and is also available on BBC iPlayer.
