Celebrity Traitors Finale Mistakenly Made Available 24 Hours Prematurely Outside the UK
Important: This article avoids spoilers concerning the series conclusion
This concluding episode of the star-studded edition of The Traitors was mistakenly made available by international broadcasters prior to its planned UK broadcast on Thursday night, as confirmed official sources.
It is understood that the finale was watched by a few hundred viewers of the streaming service Crave in Canada; they could view it for a couple of hours until it was taken down.
The installment being released was not a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a representative for the company urged those who think they have discovered the outcome of the series to "refrain from posting potential spoilers".
"We urge those who believes they have uncovered the ending of the celebrity edition to keep any information they have to themselves," the announcement said.
"We ask you to refrain from sharing any spoilers so that the vast audience who have been faithfully following every development of the series can enjoy the final this night."
This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV show of the year, with an average of 12.6 million viewers across the initial installments.
Fans of the show have been eagerly anticipating to see whether traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr will win the £100,000 prize for charity or whether loyal contestants the faithful contestants will be victorious.
A former winner of the third season of The Traitors commented that "everyone dislikes reveals", which are "the thief of joy".
He mentioned he will be sitting down to watch the final tonight 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 longer version of the companion show scheduled to broadcast on the secondary channel after the finale.
Host the host will be joined by the cast and Claudia Winkleman as they respond to the series conclusion.
