Celebrity Traitors Final Episode Mistakenly Made Available 24 Hours Prematurely Beyond the UK
Note: This article avoids reveals concerning the series conclusion
The final installment of the star-studded version of the popular reality show was mistakenly made available by overseas broadcasters prior to its planned UK airing on Thursday night, as confirmed official sources.
Reports indicate that the final was viewed by a few hundred subscribers of the online platform Crave in the North American country; they were able to watch it for a couple of hours before it was removed.
This episode being released was not a mistake by the producing network, and a spokesperson for the corporation asked those who think they have discovered the result of the show to "avoid sharing any reveals".
"We urge anyone who believes they have uncovered the outcome of the celebrity edition to hold any information they have to themselves," the announcement read.
"We ask you to refrain from sharing potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been closely watching every development of the series can experience the finale this evening."
This celebrity version is presently the top-rated TV program of the current year, with an average of 12.6m viewers across the initial installments.
Viewers of the series have been waiting to see whether deceivers Cat Burns and Alan Carr will secure the £100,000 prize for charity or whether loyal contestants Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be triumphant.
A former winner of the third season of The Traitors stated that "everyone dislikes spoilers", which are "joy's enemy".
He said he will be settling in to watch the finale this evening live, with his entire family and "some snacks".
Thursday night's final episode is lengthened to 70 minutes on the main channel, with an longer version of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on the secondary channel after the finale.
Presenter the host will be accompanied by the cast and Claudia Winkleman as they respond to the show's outcome.
