The Traitors fans have been left in hysterics after spotting cloaked Colin the Caterpillar cakes from M&S popping up in Aldi aisles over the country. Hilarious photos shared to social media show a singular Colin the Caterpillar cake - draped in a signature Traitors-style dark cloak - strategically placed on shelves of Cuthbert cakes at Aldi.

The move is a nod to the infamous dispute between M&S and Aldi in 2021, when the former sought legal action against the budget supermarket, stating that its Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake infringed upon the trade marks of Colin. Eventually, the once-rival retailers called a truce as they reached a deal, which saw Cuthbert remain on shelves yet in a slightly different form.
Now, fans have cheekily linked the notorious supermarket showdown to the general premise of The Traitors, which sees a small group of contestants become 'Traitors,' who work together to eliminate the other contestants and steal the prize money. Meanwhile, the remainder of the contestants - the 'Faithful' - are tasked to uncover and banish each Traitor by voting them out in their attempt to win the grand prize.
On X, @superTV247 uploaded a photo of a hooded Colin cake perched on top of several Cuthbert cakes in the bakery aisle, which has since been viewed more than 400K times. Alongside the photo is a caption that reads: 'Colin the Caterpillar from M&S has started appearing in a Traitors cloak hiding amongst Cuthbert's in Aldi's around the country???'.
