‘Celebrity Traitors‘ Finale Leaked Early in Canada and New Zealand, BBC Urges Fans to Avoid Spoilers
The finale of the BBC’s hit reality competition The Celebrity Traitors was unexpectedly released a day early in Canada and New Zealand, sparking a scramble to contain spoilers before its official UK broadcast. Viewers in both countries reported access to the episode on streaming platforms before it was later removed.
The early release has prompted a wave of discussion online, with fans who have seen the finale largely respecting requests to avoid spoiling the outcome for those in the UK awaiting the official airing. The BBC has issued a plea to anyone aware of the results to refrain from sharing them, emphasizing the desire for millions of viewers to experience the finale as intended.
Users on X (formerly Twitter) reported the episode appearing on cravecanada, with one user commenting, ”Not sure if this is a mistake or what, but in Canada we got the Celebrity Traitors UK finale on @CraveCanada a day before the UK does. I promise not to spoil it for you,Brits.” Similar reports emerged from New Zealand, where the episode briefly appeared on ThreeNow before being taken down mid-viewing for some users.
“Yes! I think it got pulled while we were watching as I checked after finishing the episode and it was gone,” one New Zealand viewer posted online.
A BBC source stated, “We kindly ask anyone who thinks they know the outcome of The Celebrity Traitors to keep whatever they beleive 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.”
The Celebrity Traitors finale is scheduled to air in the UK on BBC One at 9pm on November 6th.
