Wait, people think they’ve found a clip of young Linda from The Traitors in her opera days!?

Not many on this year’s cast of The Traitors for 2025 have made quite the impression on the internet as ar Linda, the iconic retired opera singer who got chosen to be a Traitor. Now, being honest, Linda isn’t the best at being a Traitor so far – but she is the best at giving us hilariously dramatic reactions with some acting that would make Hollyoaks beam with pride. From “Oh my god, who the HELL is going to come back” to the iconic turn of the head on literally episode one when Claudia said “Traitors” – it’s been comedy gold from Linda so far. And now, to make things even more legendary, people over on TikTok think they’ve found Linda back in the day performing as an opera singer way before The Traitors – and there’s solid evidence that’s made me a believer.

As Linda Rands declared on the show, prior to her new venture as a Traitor she was previously a retired opera singer. And now, one account on TikTok has posted a clip of what honestly looks like it actually could be Linda back in 1982.

In the video captioned “is this our queen”, the footage is from a filmed version of the opera Rigoletto in London captured in 1982. It’s a small role, but the signs are adding up and guys – I think it’s actually her thanks to two pieces of evidence I’ve found after watching the clip.
