However, Diane could have another pre-existing link to the contestants - according to banished star Ash.

Viewers watched as the 45-year-old events executive was booted off the show after just four episodes.

And now she's convinced Diane already knows at least one other contestant after learning Ross is her real-life son.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she said: "Now I’m wondering, and if I could pick any, I always suspected that maybe there was a pre-existing friendship in the group.

"With Tracey and Diane, or even Sonia and Diane, because they’re from the same area.

";But now I’m like yes, could there be? That’s an interesting theory and it will be interesting to hear how that plays out."

Ash also confirmed she had no idea about Diane and Ross being related while on The Traitors.

She said: "Oh my goodness when I found out I was screaming out loud. Because even subsequently people are saying there’s a resemblance and I still can’t see the resemblance.

"Immediately I was texting Ross and saying, 'Mate, mate what is happening? How is that your mum?'

"And even now when I’m watching back the show I can see him making little comments like, Oh, you cheeky little…"

The Traitors has had fans gripped ever since the first episode of the second series got underway.

Official viewing figures reveal a staggering 8.2 million fans watched the first three instalments.

Stats from BBC iPlayer show a further two million tuned in.
