Celebrity Traitors Final Episode Accidentally Uploaded 24 Hours Prematurely Beyond the UK
Note: This piece does not contain reveals related to the final episode
The concluding episode of this celebrity version of the popular reality show was mistakenly made available by international distributors before its scheduled UK broadcast on Thursday, according to a network statement.
Reports indicate that the finale was viewed by a few hundred subscribers of the online platform Crave in Canada; they could view it for a short period until it was taken down.
This installment being uploaded was not considered a mistake by the producing network, and a representative for the company asked those who believe they know the outcome of the series to "avoid sharing any reveals".
"We urge anyone who believes they have uncovered the ending of the celebrity edition to keep whatever they believe they know to themselves," the announcement said.
"Please avoid posting potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been closely watching every twist and turn of the series can enjoy the final this night."
The Celebrity Traitors is currently the top-rated TV program of the current year, with an average of 12.6m people over the first four episodes.
Fans of the show have been waiting to see whether traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr will win the £100,000 prize for a good cause or whether faithfuls the faithful contestants will be victorious.
A former winner of the third season of The Traitors commented that "no one likes spoilers", which are "the thief of joy".
He mentioned they will be settling in to watch the final this evening live, with his entire family and "a bucket of popcorn".
Thursday's final episode is extended to 70 minutes on the main channel, with an extended edition of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on BBC Two following the final.
Host the host will be joined by the cast and the co-host as they respond to the show's outcome.
