The Traitors viewers forced to turn off after 'terrifying' gold mask scene

Viewers of The Traitors were left "terrified" on Wednesday night after a scene filmed showed a church full of people wearing gold masks.

The programme is hosted by Claudia Winkleman - and is filmed in Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands and sees a team of players competing in a series of missions.

But one of tonight's tasks left those at home with cushions covering their eyes - and contestants of the latest BBC reality TV game show were equally as shaken.

Many people took to Twitter to react to the odd segment, with one saying: "Oh thanks for that The Traitors. I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway. Another commented: "That was utterly terrifying...no need at all."

A third said: "I actually have the cushion over my face. F*** this I'm turning it off." Someone else tweeted: "Ffs. Why Traitors. Why!!!"

The more missions the contestants on the show win, the bigger the prize pot. However, it's not all that plain sailing, because amongst the players are the Traitors, who'll meet in secret and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players, known as a Faithful.

The show features 22 contestants and it has been announced that it'll be shown in American next year, and hosted by Alan Cumming.

The American series will include Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Brandi Glanville, and it'll be hosted by Alan Cumming.
