Lisa Kudrow

Friends favourite Lisa Kudrow loves a good comeback - and The Traitors even inspired one.

The Emmy-winning actress revealed that Linda Rands, a memorable contestant from the British series, helped inspire a storyline for her character Valerie Cherish in The Comeback.

During a March 2026 appearance on The Claudia Winkleman Show, Lisa confirmed the connection before being surprised by Linda herself.

The delighted actress exclaimed: "Oh, yes!"

Who would have guessed that a Scottish castle could provide inspiration for Hollywood comedy gold?
