Celebrity Traitors Finale Mistakenly Uploaded 24 Hours Prematurely Outside the UK
Important: This article avoids spoilers concerning the final episode
This final installment of the star-studded edition of the popular reality show was uploaded in error by international distributors before its planned UK airing on Thursday night, as confirmed official sources.
It is understood that the final was watched by a small number of subscribers of the online platform the streaming service in Canada; they could watch it for a short period before it was taken down.
The episode being uploaded 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 potential spoilers".
"We urge anyone who believes they have uncovered the ending of The Celebrity Traitors to keep whatever they believe they know to themselves," the announcement read.
"Please avoid sharing any spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every twist and turn of the show can experience the final this evening."
The Celebrity Traitors is presently the most-watched TV show of the year, with an average of 12.6 million people across the initial installments.
Fans of the series have been eagerly anticipating to see whether deceivers the traitors will secure the £100,000 for charity or whether loyal contestants Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be victorious.
A past champion of the third season of the show commented that "no one likes spoilers", which are "joy's enemy".
The winner said he will be sitting down to watch the finale this evening as it airs, with all of his family and "a bucket of popcorn".
Thursday night's final episode is extended to 70 minutes on the main channel, with an extended edition of the companion show scheduled to broadcast on the secondary channel after the finale.
Presenter the host will be accompanied by the contestants and the co-host as they respond to the show's outcome.
