Celebrity Traitors Finale Accidentally Uploaded A Full Day Early Outside the UK

Important: This article avoids spoilers related to the series conclusion

This final episode of the celebrity edition of the popular reality show was uploaded in error by international broadcasters before its planned UK broadcast on Thursday night, as confirmed a network statement.

It is understood that the final was viewed by a small number of subscribers of the online platform Crave in the North American country; they were able to view it for a couple of hours before it was removed.

The episode being uploaded was not a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a spokesperson for the company urged those who believe they know the outcome of the show to "refrain from posting any reveals".

"We urge anyone who thinks they know the ending of the celebrity edition to keep any information they have to themselves," the statement read.

"Please avoid sharing potential spoilers so that the vast audience who have been closely watching every twist and turn of the series can enjoy the final this night."

This celebrity version is currently the most-watched TV program of the current year, with an mean of 12.6 million viewers over the first four episodes.

Viewers of the show have been waiting to see whether traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr will secure the £100,000 for charity or whether faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be victorious.

A past champion of the third season of The Traitors commented that "no one likes spoilers", which are "the thief of joy".

The winner said they will be sitting down to watch the final tonight as it airs, with all of his family and "some snacks".

Thursday night's concluding installment is extended to 70 minutes on BBC One, with an extended edition of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on the secondary channel following the final.

Presenter the host will be accompanied by the cast and the co-host as they react to the series conclusion.
