Leyton Orient announced their latest January signing in sensational style with a Traitors-inspired unveiling video on social media on Tuesday.

'' - a One reality show of trust and treachery - has gripped the nation over the past three weeks, and Orient used this to their advantage when confirming the arrival of youngster Ollie O'Neill.

The unveiling video began with this year's contestants sat around the 'banishing table' all looking anxious. The banishment typically ends with host asking the player voted out to reveal whether they are a 'faithful' or a 'traitor', but on this occasion a dubbed voice asked the mystery footballer whether he was a new signing.

The tension ramped up as one by one it showed stars of the show Harry, Ross, Andrew, Jaz and Zack nervously waiting for the final verdict, with the name 'Ollie' written on their small black boards.

Finally, it cut to O'Neill's face as he declared 'I am a new signing!'

The contestants on the Traitors were then shown celebrating wildly, with Ross giving the thumbs-up to the rest of the team

The contestants all jumped up at once, with some banging on the table to celebrate, with Orient cleverly using the clip from when they correctly banished Paul last week, who had been a 'Traitor' from the beginning of the show.

Zack can then be heard shouting 'we've got another one,' as on the show Paul was banished the day after the 'Faithfuls' got rid of fellow 'Traitor', Miles.

This phrase also works in the context of Orient's transfer business, with O'Neill becoming their second signing of the month after Brandon Cooper rejoined the club last week.

After confirming his arrival on a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee, O'Neill told Orient's official website: 'I’m really excited to be starting the next chapter of my career at Leyton Orient, a club that feels like it has got real momentum behind it at the moment.

'I know that this is the right time for me to leave the nest of academy football. I had a good taste of senior football last season and now I’m ready to challenge myself in League One.

I like to play wide, get on the ball, and create lots of chances for myself and my teammates.'

O'Neill, 21, has represented Republic of Ireland from Under-16 to Under-21 level. He had been a regular in the Fulham youth teams for several seasons, but never made a senior appearance for the Premier League club.

Meanwhile, 'The Traitors' is due to conclude this Friday, with eight contestants currently still in the running to win the prize pot of up to £120,000.

“I was so confused and insecure. Because I thought I was beautiful. So many people told me I was beautiful. Who am I? I feel like a vase shattered across the ground, and left there in the alleyway. A chandelier that was cut from the ceiling, and then all the people left the house. I can’t imagine on this day, what it would feel like to recover. Am I allowed to be this sad? Am I allowed to lay on the ground in a heap and wail? I want to have hands again, and legs. I want to smile. I want to believe that I can. But again, I want to be sad for the rest of time. I want to wear my sadness in long strands. I want to lay on the ocean floor and weep stalactites. For a hundred years. A tree has fallen onto my chest. The sky is spinning, and it won’t slow down. I don’t want to feel any of this.” A excerpt of an untitled essay from NIGHTBIRDE The NIGHTBIRDE book “Poems for the dark” should be available for presale soon. We hope Jane’s words make you all feel less alone in your human experience. Photo by Jacqueline Day #nightbirde #poetry #essay #poem #nightbird #agt #itsOk #inspire #hope #faith #cancerJourney
