A startling connection between contestants on BBC’s Traitors has been unveiled after a shocking banishment episode. Ross faced an unexpected exit when the group mistakenly identified him as the traitor, despite his steadfast loyalty throughout the game.
The drama didn’t end there. As Ross left the set, another contestant revealed a secret that added a new twist to the narrative. Ellie, previously at the center of speculation regarding her relationship with Ross, confirmed that she is the girlfriend of the London-based sales executive and personal trainer.
In the wake of Ross’s banishment, Ellie appeared visibly emotional, looking skyward to hold back tears. She expressed her sorrow, stating, “The Traitors have done their work, because they have framed Ross. I’m really sad to see him go, especially because Ross is my boyfriend.”

The show then aired clips of Ross and Ellie’s moments together, including their first appearance on this season of Traitors, where they shared a train carriage. A poignant clip featured Ellie confessing her concern for Ross’s safety, fearing he might be murdered during the night.
Ellie vowed to honor Ross’s departure: “What I’ve got to do now is avenge his death. I’ve got to work a lot harder. I want to catch a traitor for him.”
This confirmation of their relationship emerged shortly after keen-eyed fans pieced together evidence from social media. A photo from June 2024 showed Ross and Ellie close together, with Ross’s hand resting on Ellie’s back during a team outing. The image, once posted on Instagram by @damospersonaltraining, was later removed, but not before sparking intense speculation.
This revelation adds a new emotional layer to the unfolding drama on Traitors, as Ellie steps up her game driven by love and loyalty.
