THE FINAL EPISODE of the UK’s celebrity version of The Traitors is airing on the BBC this evening – but some fans have already watched it.

The episode was mistakenly uploaded early to a streaming service in Canada before it was meant to be released.

It was subsequently taken down from the platform.

In a statement, the BBC asked anyone who thinks they know the outcome of the show to “keep whatever they believe they know to themselves”.

“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.”

Fans who don’t know the result will no doubt have been approaching the internet with caution today to try to avoid coming across any spoilers.

The ninth and final episode is due to air this evening at 9pm on BBC One.

Viewers will be waiting to see whether traitors Alan Carr and Cat Burns can keep up their deception or whether the faithfuls, whose ranks include Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga, can pull off the win.

Carr will certainly have a tough time trying to pull the wool over the other players’ eyes after that moment in the most recent episode when he couldn’t keep a straight face when presenter Claudia Winkleman asked each player to state they were a faithful.

During the final roundtable and ‘endgame’ of tonight’s episode, players who are voted off won’t reveal as they leave whether they are a traitor or a faithful.

Before the new celebrity edition, the BBC had already produced three ‘civilian’ seasons of The Traitors.

In the finals of the first two seasons, departing players did reveal their identities as a traitor or faithful. Keeping their status undisclosed was introduced as a twist in the final of the third season, a mechanism that has been carried over into the celebrity edition.

The final episode of the Irish version on RTÉ, like the first two BBC seasons, did confirm whether a knocked-out player was a traitor or faithful during the endgame. Afterwards, some fans to take to social media to express frustrations, saying they felt it lowered the tension in the final moments of the game.

So far, the UK’s first celebrity version of the game show has gone down well with viewers, including in Ireland, where fans of the recent Irish version have been able to turn to the BBC’s offerings for another fix.

RTÉ has already opened casting for another ‘civilian’ season, and the success of the BBC edition has left some fans wondering whether an Irish celebrity version might ever be on the cards.
