Warning: This articles contains spoilers for The Traitors

Ever since the third season of The Traitors landed earlier this month (1 January), we've all been practically glued to our screens watching the tears, roundtable antics and all-round chaos unfurl as the weeks go on.

We're getting closer and closer to the eagerly-anticipated finale of the hit BBC series which will, at long last, reveal whether the trusty Faithfuls or the conniving Traitors take home the hefty prize pot money.

Now, we've seen many murders and banishments in the three weeks since the season kicked off with the remaining castmates including; Leanne, Freddie, Francesca, Alexander, Minah and Charlotte - the final two being the only two remaining Traitors left.

While there's a lot of buzz online from fans of the reality TV programme sharing their theories, criticisms and general natter - a few have rushed to social media pointing out why they reckon Francesca looks so familiar to them.

One X user penned: "I can't explain it, but Francesca is giving major Natasha Richardson in The Parent Trap energy."

"I’ve never read something so accurate in my life!" exclaimed a second, while a third beamed: "She’s lovely really and yea you are right. That’s who she reminds me of..."

"I can’t unsee this now," revealed a fourth while a fifth wrote of the beloved late actress who became a cult figure in many of our childhoods: "Omg I miss Natasha Richardson."

And Richardson isn't Francesca's only apparent celebrity lookalike.

"Ok which actress does #Francesca from #traitors @the_traitors_look like? A British sitcom…. Bugging me!" penned one BBC viewer while a second commented: "Jane from outnumbered for sure!"

A third also chirped: "I think it’s Paula Wilcox - I came on here to try and figure it out!"

"It’s been bugging me who Francesca looks like. Dawned on me tonight! Paula Wilcox!" echoed a fourth, while a fifth chimed in: "Need to get this off my chest. I have always thought Francesca on #Traitors looks exactly like the mam on The Queen's Nose.

"Real name Paula Wilcox. I just can't shake it."

"Surely I can’t be the only person who thinks Francesca from The Traitors reminds me of @MarinaHyde," wrote a fifth, referring to The Guardian journalist.

Another added: "Francesca has such 'frazzled art teacher at Waterloo Road' energy."

"Watching The Traitors and Francesca is absolutely killing it with her outfits. I need her to stay in just for the fashion!" gushed a final X user.

New episodes of The Traitors air at 9pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC.
