Important: This piece does not contain spoilers related to the series conclusion
The final episode of this celebrity version of the popular reality show was uploaded in error by international broadcasters prior to its scheduled UK airing on Thursday night, as confirmed a network statement.
It is understood that the final was viewed by a small number of subscribers of the online platform Crave in the North American country; these individuals could view it for a short period before it was taken down.
This installment being released was not considered a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a representative for the company urged those who believe they know the outcome of the series to "refrain from posting any reveals".
"We urge those who thinks they know the outcome of the celebrity edition to keep any information they have to themselves," the announcement read.
"Please avoid sharing potential spoilers so that the millions of fans who have been faithfully following every development of the show can enjoy the finale this night."
This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV program of the year, with an average of 12.6 million people across the first four episodes.
Viewers of the show have been waiting to see whether deceivers the traitors will win the £100,000 prize for charity or whether faithfuls the faithful contestants will be triumphant.
A former winner of the third season of the show commented that "everyone dislikes spoilers", which are "the thief of joy".
He mentioned he will be sitting down to view the finale this evening live, 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 Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked scheduled to broadcast on BBC Two following the final.
Presenter the host will be accompanied by the contestants and Claudia Winkleman as they respond to the show's outcome.
