BBC The Traitors fans 'work out' detail and share 'mum theory' on social media

There are only eight contestants left on the hit BBC competition show, with two traitors still remaining.

On Friday night, January 17, a further two faithfuls were eliminated after Lisa was murdered and Leon was voted out during the roundtable debate.

The contestants took part in a group challenge where they had to work together to build huge statues and managed to add a whopping £10k to their prize pot.

At the end of the episode, the remaining contestants were treated to a dinner party, where the traitors and faithfuls alike shared vulnerable stories about themselves and their dreams.

When asked what she would do with the prize money if she won, faithful Frankie said she wanted to help her son pay for university. And when fellow faithful Freddie was asked, he replied that he wanted the money for university.

Fans of the hit BBC show have taken to social media after putting two and two together and are speculating about whether the pair could actually be mother and son.

There are twists aplenty throughout each series of The Traitors, and this could be another yet to be revealed.

Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to speculate. @dannjohn said: "I’m really wondering if the… Frankie is Freddie’s mom theory is a thing. He wants the money for uni. She wants to use the money for her son going to uni. Single moms."
