Ellie said on the latest episode of The Traitors that she has ‘secrets’ (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry)
The Traitors fans think that Ellie might be hiding something beyond her secret connection to Ross, after hinting at her ‘secrets’.
The admission was made during Friday night’s mission on the BBC game of wink murder, in which the cast split into teams and were posed questions about one another.
There were then three contestants who got the individual honour of being allowed to speak to the Traitors in a chapel confessional.
The cast split into three teams, taking different paths through the Ardross castle woods to answer questions like which of them is the fairest of them all and who is the most likeable.
Then there was a question on which of them is the ‘blandest’, which was unanimously decided to be Ellie. Ouch.
The psychologist took it in her stride, saying to the BBC cameras in the library: ‘I got blandest of them all. Fair enough.

‘I’ve come in here with so many secrets. Of course I’m coming across as a little bland. That’s fine. Keeps me going through, I’ll take it.’

We, of course, already learned that Ellie and Ross had been keeping their relationship a secret in the castle, even if fans did twig onto it before the reveal.
But the comment prompted some eyebrow-raising from viewers at home, as Matt on X noted she referred to secrets ‘plural’.
‘How many secrets have you got Ellie?! Thought the most interesting thing you had about yourself was Ross,’ tweeted @GoobRoob and @YouBearsssssss wondered ‘what else is she hiding?’

It was a tense episode elsewhere, as Harriet, Matthew and Traitor Rachel won the opportunity to speak to the Traitors – resulting in a daring power play from little-known Matthew.
That came shortly after the late secret Traitor Fiona was banished from the show, thanks to an attack led by Rachel at the roundtable.
Thursday night’s episode ended in flames between the pair, as Fiona accused Rachel of being a Traitor and lying about Amanda’s detective past – in front of everybody.

Before her departure from the game, Fiona told the roundtable: ‘I want to say I haven’t had the opportunity to grow to love you, but I do like you very, very much.
‘I came in here to prove that women of a certain age should be listened to, and I feel as if I’ve been listened to. Thank you all for being wonderful, wonderful people. I will never, ever forget you. You may be very surprised to hear that I am a traitor.’
