Every series of The Traitors provides a few stand-out characters who we decide to embrace with open arms, root for and excessively turn into gifs. Last year, we had Amanda and Wilf - and this year it seems to be Diane Logan.

As soon as the first episode aired, Diane Logan - a retired Northern Irish teacher living in Lancashire – caught the attention of fans on X (Twitter). Primarily because of her devil may care attitude and accusatory tone, but also because it turns out she has a pretty famous son, and a newly famous one too!

Yes, Diane from The Traitors is the mother of Game of Thrones star Kerr Logan. Kerr is best known for his role as Matthos Seaworth, son of Ser Davos, in the HBO epic. But he's also starred in The Killing Kind, Showtrial, Alias Grace, Game of Thrones, Strike, Boy, Dead Still, North Sea Connection, Genius: Picasso, London Irish and Good Vibrations.

And he's loving it – the TV star has been excitedly reposting people's tweets about his mum now that the BBC game show has returned to our screens. Kerr also wrote, 'My mother is trending on twitter….. one of the more surreal nights of my life.'

But Diane from The Traitors is also the mother of fellow contestant Ross! This twist was revealed during episode three of the new series, and both parties are yet to spill their secret. However, if Diane is murdered in Friday night's episode, which many people suspect she might be, Ross is bound to find the game that little bit more difficult.

And while Diane is yet to reveal her claim to fame (or her connection to Ross) to her fellow contestants, she's managed to unwittingly find fame herself. To give you a taste of Diane's essence, during the first episode when everyone started hugging each other to say good morning at breakfast Diane said, 'we don't all have to hug' and remained firmly in her chair.

She's already iconic. If you don't believe us, look at some of the best Diane Logan tweets we've seen so far. We can only hope she goes the distance on the show.

Who is Diane Logan's son on The Traitors?

Plot twist. While we know that Diane's son Kerr is an actor, she does have another son too. And that one just so happens to be inside the castle.

You heard us right - The Traitors has a secret mum-and-son duo.

Suspicions arose online after Diane's son Kerr replied to a tweet suggesting that his mum isn't the only one in the house. Replying to someone saying that his brother was on the show, Kerr simply replied 'Shhhh.'

In episode three, Diane actually addresses rumours of Traitor Paul being her son. Denying the allegations by insisting she isn't actually a natural ginger like Paul, Diane says she simply couldn't be his mum.

However, she is Ross's.

Ross, Diane's son.

Now, both Ross and Diane are currently Faithfuls. But with Diane falling under heat at episode three's roundtable, Ross was left trying to deflect the suspicions away from his mum.

Talking in a confessional, Ross explained that if one of them wins the money, they both win the money.
