Who is Diane? Meet The Traitors season 2 contestant and retired teacher

In episode 3, which is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer, Diane revealed that her son is Ross and that they won't be telling the others, but with some people on their scent, will they be able to keep it a secret for much longer?

Speaking of mother and sons... It was also revealed that Diane has another son, who is an actor.

When everyone online began obsessing over Diane during episode one, it was revealed that her son was an actor on Game of Thrones – Kerr Logan, who portrayed Matthos Seaworth, son of Ser Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham), in the series.

In a post on X/Twitter, Kerr wrote: "My mother is on The Traitors. My mother is on The Traitors. My mother is on The Traitors. She's bonkers. I'm scared."

With three episodes of the series available to watch, viewers have seen the contestants getting cosy in Ardross Castle, and it seems as though Diane is safe. But this is The Traitors, and anything can happen.

But who is Diane? Read on for everything you need to know about the season 2 contestant.

Who is Diane?

Age: 63

Job: Retired teacher

Location: Lancashire

Diane applied for The Traitors after watching just an episode and a half with her children. Of course, she has watched the full series and "loved it" and, luckily, she wants to take a stab at things even more.

Going into the show, Diane does not have a game plan. She explained that after watching season 1, she noted that the players used anything they could find against each other, using Maddy mentioning she was an actress as an example.

"I thought that was a rubbish reason to get rid of her because it was so obvious that she was a Faithful," she said.

Diane has been quick to point the finger at who she thinks one of the Traitors could be, and unbeknownst to her and the other Faithfuls, she is bang on the money.

After the roundtable where the Traitors were chosen, Diane noticed that Harry began shaking and breathing heavily, which could suggest he is a Traitor and was reacting to being chosen. And she's right!

If you are a Traitor, how far are you prepared to go to win the game?

"I think if you take it on, you must be prepared to go the whole way, I’d like to think I could do it. Although there were people last series, like Andrea, that I would have struggled to get rid of. I totally admired her, she'd lost her partner, she was having a go and doing her best. I think I'd really struggle if it was someone I admired like that.

"You have to be very careful about who you get friendly with. I might find it hard, but I'd still like to say I'd be able to go the whole way. You're put into this and you've nothing else in your life other than this game for potentially three weeks, it’ll be so easy to let it take over."

If you're a Faithful, what do you think your game plan would be?

"Just to be me. As a teacher at a PRU I've had to use tactics to get control of a classroom. I'd use humour a lot, and you had to know when to pick your battles. I know from last series that Wilfred was saying he was going to bring people on side and try and cause ripples, but I won’t do anything like that."

The Traitors season 2 started on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday 3rd January 2024. The Traitors season 1 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
