But he soon left them with what he called "an easter egg" by sharing his incredible secret that he is Diane's son.

A dumbfounded Mollie screamed: "He's Diane's son? So he's Irish?"

"Speechless, head spun," Jasmine added.

She continued: "He pulled the wool over my eyes for so long. I'm so embarrassed, everyone is looking at me, thanks Ross. If you don't laugh, you'd cry."

Ross' mum Diane, 63, was finally snuffed out of the BBC show last week after drinking from the poisoned chalice Miles passed to her.

She was revealed as the traitors' victim after a chilling funeral procession led by Claudia Winkleman.

Ross was later recruited as a Traitor by Harry and Andrew - who were unaware they had signed up a traitor who was harbouring a lust for revenge.

He nearly got is way by trying to drive a wedge between them, telling Harry that Andrew was plotting against him.

But the army lad, 22, hedged his bets on Andrew and the pair voted to kick Ross out.

His departure followed a very explosive row between former allies Jasmine and Zach at the roundtable.
