Fans think they’ve spotted the clue that changes everything, a tiny detail from the opening moments that refuses to be ignored, as whispers spread that the Secret Traitor may have revealed themselves far earlier than anyone realised, leaving viewers rewatching scenes in stunned silence and asking whether this was a masterful bluff… or the quiet giveaway that turned a brand-new twist into an accidental confession before the game had even begun.

THE new Secret Traitor twist has turned the nation into amateur detectives – but fans are convinced they have already cracked the case.

Viewers of The Traitors have flooded social media with theories, pointing the finger at one person in particular.

The internet sleuths have been analysing every frame and one theory regarding the “female and fluid” handwriting on the Traitor’s letter has gained serious traction.

Fans have speculated that recruiter Roxy, 32, has given the game away.

One Reddit user penned: “Roxy has so much evidence against her, the main one being the handwriting, she was the only one to have joined letters.

“Also, she wanted to put a coffin in James grave, she was quick to pick him out, and he ended up on the short list, now she is voting for him, very suspicious.

“I believe that the handwriting was female and fluid, the more government positioned people like Amanda and Fiona would have been used to a specific type of handwriting, so it rules them out.”

The user continued to break down why other suspects don’t fit the bill: “Harriet is either an insane actor, or she is so happy to be faithful and seems very innocent, as well as Jessie, she says she really needed the shield as she didn’t want to be murdered in a very sincere way.

“Also, not to fault her, but casting someone with a stammer in the most important role to disguise would be a crazy move from production.

“This leaves Ellie, who has just been in the background watching and listening, possible suspect, alongside Jade who had a lot of suspicion also, as well as her background in being invested in social games, the producers think she would be good enough to pull it off.”
