Celebrity Traitors Final Episode Accidentally Made Available 24 Hours Early Beyond the UK
Important: This article avoids spoilers concerning the series conclusion
This concluding episode of the celebrity version of the popular reality show was uploaded in error by overseas distributors prior to its planned UK airing on Thursday night, as confirmed a network statement.
Reports indicate that the final was watched by a small number of subscribers of the streaming service Crave in Canada; these individuals were able to view it for a couple of hours before it was removed.
The installment being released was not considered a error by the producing network, and a spokesperson for the company asked those who believe they know the outcome of the series to "refrain from posting potential spoilers".
"We kindly ask those who thinks they know the ending of the celebrity edition to hold whatever they believe they know to themselves," the statement read.
"We ask you to refrain from sharing any spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every twist and turn of the show can enjoy the finale this night."
This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV show of the current year, with an average of 12.6 million viewers across the initial installments.
Fans of the show have been waiting to see whether deceivers Cat Burns and Alan Carr will secure the £100,000 prize for a good cause or whether faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be victorious.
A former winner of the third series of the show stated that "everyone dislikes spoilers", which are "the thief of joy".
The winner mentioned he will be settling in to view the final this evening as it airs, with all of his family and "some snacks".
Thursday's concluding installment is extended to 70 minutes on the main channel, with an longer version of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on BBC Two following the finale.
Host Ed Gamble will be joined by the contestants and Claudia Winkleman as they react to the show's outcome.
