Celebrity Traitors Final Episode Accidentally Uploaded A Full Day Early Outside the UK
Important: This article avoids reveals concerning the final episode
The concluding episode of this star-studded edition of The Traitors was uploaded in error by overseas distributors prior to its planned UK airing on Thursday, according to official sources.
It is understood that the final was viewed by a few hundred subscribers of the online platform Crave in Canada; they could watch it for a short period before it was taken down.
The episode being uploaded was not considered a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a spokesperson for the company asked those who believe they know the outcome of the show to "refrain from posting any reveals".
"We kindly ask anyone who thinks they know the ending of the celebrity edition to hold whatever they believe they know to themselves," the statement read.
"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 finale this night."
This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV show of the year, with an average of 12.6m people over the initial installments.
Fans of the show have been eagerly anticipating to see whether traitors the traitors will secure 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 show commented that "everyone dislikes spoilers", which are "joy's enemy".
The winner said they will be sitting down to watch the finale this evening live, with his entire family and "a bucket of popcorn".
Thursday night's final episode is extended to 70 minutes on BBC One, with an extended edition of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked scheduled to broadcast on the secondary channel following the final.
Host Ed Gamble will be accompanied by the cast and Claudia Winkleman as they respond to the show's outcome.
