The cast of The Traitors 2026 with host Claudia Winkleman

As the cast of The Traitors continue their amateur (and, in some cases, professional) detective work to try and work out who’s who in the castle, fans have been doing some sleuthing of their own since the show launched last week.

In the first couple of episodes, cast member Ross found himself in the spotlight when it emerged that he had a connection with fellow contestant Netty, and even more so when The Traitors conspired to make him look guilty.

However, since Netty’s “murder” in episode two, Ross has also been at the centre of speculation that he has a connection with someone else in the castle that he’s keeping schtum about for the time being…

Why do people think there’s a connection between Ross and Ellie on The Traitors?
