The concluding episode of the celebrity version of the popular reality show was mistakenly made available by international broadcasters prior to its scheduled UK broadcast on Thursday night, as confirmed a network statement.

Reports indicate that the finale was viewed by a small number of viewers of the streaming service Crave in the North American country; they were able to watch it for a short period until it was taken down.

The episode being released was not considered a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a spokesperson for the corporation asked those who think they have discovered the outcome of the series to "refrain from posting any reveals".

"We urge anyone who believes they have uncovered the ending of the celebrity edition to hold whatever they believe they know to themselves," the announcement said.

"Please avoid sharing potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every development of the series can enjoy the finale this night."

This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV program of the current year, with an average of 12.6 million people across the first four episodes.

Fans of the show have been eagerly anticipating to see whether traitors the traitors will win the £100,000 prize for a good cause or whether loyal contestants the faithful contestants will be victorious.

A former winner of the third series of the show 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 live, with all of his family and "some snacks".

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

Host the host will be joined by the contestants and the co-host as they react to the show's outcome.
