In a heartwarming real-life twist, Judy Wilson, the beloved fan-favourite from the hit BBC show The Traitors, has announced some exciting family news live on television.
A Grandmother's Joy on This Morning
While appearing as a guest on ITV's This Morning on January 7, 2026, Judy delivered a surprise announcement to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. She revealed that her daughter, and fellow Traitors contestant, Roxy Wilson, 32, is expecting her first child.
"Can I just say – our Roxy is having a baby!" Judy exclaimed, sharing her joy with the nation. The baby is due in June 2026, and this will be Judy's 12th grandchild. Presenter Cat Deeley humorously noted Judy now had "a football team" of grandchildren, with Ben Shephard adding, "She’s got a sub!"
From Castle Secrets to Family News
The mother-daughter duo first captivated audiences at the start of the new season of The Traitors by revealing they were related, a secret they had kept from other players in the Scottish castle. Although Judy, a child liaison officer from Doncaster, was the first contestant banished after a tense roundtable, she has remained a popular figure, cheering on her daughter from the sidelines.
Roxy, who made a last-ditch attempt to defend her mother during that fateful banishment, is still in the game. Crucially, she has not yet revealed to the other contestants that Judy is her mother, leaving viewers to speculate if more secrets are yet to unfold.
Fan Theories and Future Twists
With the dramatic Secret Traitors reveal imminent, some fans are theorising that Roxy might be playing a long game and could unveil herself as a cunning Traitor. Others believe the castle may harbour more hidden connections.
In fact, Judy herself has fuelled speculation, telling Metro she suspects contestants Masz and Faraaz could be a secret father-and-son duo. "Are they son and dad? We kept thinking that," she admitted. However, she was less convinced by online theories suggesting a real-life link between contestants Ellie and Ross, citing their contrasting personalities.
The Traitors continues its gripping run, airing tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
