Fans were loving with the eerie song!
Fans of The Traitors have been loving the final episode of the reality game show, and there was one moment in particular they couldn’t get enough of.
Following the mission, which saw the contestants win £20,000 for the prize fund, it was time for them all to join the roundtable for one last time to banish someone from the competition.
As they filed into the room and walked through the castle halls, a popular song from The Hunger Games franchise played in the background.
The song played was The Hanging Tree from the dystopian film series and fans began sharing their excitement on X (formerly known as Twitter).
