Linda from The Traitors has been the stand-out star of the new series, thanks to her iconic one-liners and her Oscar-worthy acting skills.
And after spawning meme after meme with her scene-steals on the BBC show, Linda has now been awarded the ultimate honour.
A post showing a huge billboard plastered above the Vue cinema in London's Leicester Square has gone viral.
The billboard above the venue where many a red carpet premiere has taken place, shows Linda earning the Golden Cloak Award for the 'performance of a lifetime award'.
Linda has played up to the viral trend, making the trek from her Hertfordshire home over the weekend to post for a photo with the billboard.
'OHHH MYYY GODDDD! I can’t ACTUALLY believe this is happening! How FUN! Just getting up to speed on instagram! Bear with me guys…. #oldlady' she captioned her snap.
Linda from The Traitors has so far been the stand-out star of the new series and now she been awarded the ultimate honour - a billboard for the 'performance of a lifetime award'
In Friday's episode, Linda surprised everyone by bursting into tears at breakfast upon the news that fellow participant Livi had been murdered
The former opera singer was selected as one of three Traitors in the new series.
Her theatre background is particularly remarkable given her acting displays in the hit BBC show, which have attracted the ire of some viewers and raised the suspicions of her fellow contestants.
In Friday's episode, Linda surprised everyone by bursting into tears at breakfast upon the news that fellow participant Livi had been murdered in an attempt to hide the fact that she was the one who had done it.
It didn't exactly fool her competitors, who once again dragged her name through the mud during the nightly Round Table discussion and almost voted her off the show, and she only narrowly received fewer votes than the unfortunate faithful Dan.
Fans of the BBC show still can't get enough of Linda's 'iconic' acting skills and rushed to X to comment on the hilarious moment.
They wrote: 'If our Linda doesn’t win a BAFTA for best actress in a leading role there’ll be hell to pay #TheTraitors.'

Another said; 'LINDA STOPPPP #TheTraitors.'
A third posted: 'Truly a BAFTA-winning performance from ar' Linda and the direct look into the camera too I just can’t #TheTraitors.'
Later in the episode, Linda's 'cinematic' display came back to her haunt her and was brought up at the Round Table.
So far, the contestants have only managed to sniff out ONE of the Traitors - Armani, 28.
The likes of Dan, 33, Elen, 24, Kasim, 33, Nathan, 39, Tyler, 29, have been banished after their wrong guesses, and Keith, 65, Livi, 26, Maia, 25, and Yin, 34, have all been murdered.
