The highly anticipated season finale of “Celebrity Traitors U.K.” leaked briefly in Canada ahead of its broadcast on the BBC Thursday night.
According to BBC News, the finale was uploaded in error and watched by a few hundred people on the Canadian streaming service Crave. It was removed after a couple of hours; however, those who did view the episode have now taken to social media.
A BBC spokesperson said that the uploading of the episode was not the BBC’s fault and encouraged those who have seen it not to share spoilers. “We kindly ask anyone who thinks they know the outcome of ‘The Celebrity Traitors’ to keep whatever they believe they know to themselves,” the statement said. “Please avoid sharing potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every twist and turn of the series can enjoy the final this evening.”
A representative for Crave did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
The current season of “Celebrity Traitors U.K.” — which has narrowed down to singer-songwriter Cat Burns, comedian Alan Carr, rugby player Joe Marler, “Ted Lasso” star Nick Mohammed and writer David Olosuga — is the most-watched TV show of the year, averaging 12.6 million viewers in its first four episodes. On Thursday night, it will be determined whether the traitors or the faithfuls will win a £100,000 prize for charity.
The finale of “Celebrity Traitors U.K.” will air on BBC One at 9 p.m. U.K. time, with an extended version set on BBC Two afterwards.
