SPOILER: The following article contains spoilers from episode three of The Walking Dead season seven.
'This is painful' Viewers despair as Negan tortures fan favourite
The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 3 'The Cell' Trailer
Things aren't looking too good for Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) right now as he's currently spending time naked in a jail cell at The Sanctuary as Negan's prisoner.
The fan favourite could be seen dirty and unclothed in the opening minutes of the third instalment while peppy song 'Easy Street' was played on a loop in an attempt to break him.
The traumatic episode saw Daryl beaten and broken but unwilling to give in to Negan's demands despite Dwight urging him to do so.
At one point, he was handed a polaroid picture of Glenn – who was bludgeoned to death in the brutal season premiere – which sent him over the edge and viewers broke down in tears.

Viewers at home struggled to watch the Alexandrian battle to stay alive and deal with his guilt over Glenn's death. Many took to social media to express their despair as Negan tortured him.
One user tweeted: "Tough to watch Negan's torture techniques on Daryl… #TheWalkingDead can't wait until he gets his…"
While another added: "This is the worst type of torture… Like it's actually hard to watch Daryl in this condition #TheWalkingDead."

A fifth posted: "Wow! They gave him the picture of Glenn. That's f***ed up #TheWalkingDead."
The Walking Dead continues on Monday on FOX at 9pm.
