This final episode of this star-studded edition of The Traitors was uploaded in error by overseas broadcasters prior to its planned UK broadcast on Thursday, according to a network statement.
Reports indicate that the finale was viewed by a few hundred viewers of the streaming service the streaming service in Canada; they could watch it for a short period before it was taken down.
The episode being uploaded was not a mistake by the original broadcaster, and a representative for the company asked those who believe they know the result of the show to "refrain from posting potential spoilers".
"We urge anyone who believes they have uncovered the ending of the celebrity edition to hold any information they have to themselves," the announcement read.
"We ask you to refrain from posting potential spoilers so that the vast audience who have been closely watching every twist and turn of the series can experience the final this night."
The Celebrity Traitors is presently the top-rated TV show of the current year, with an average of 12.6 million viewers across the first four episodes.
Viewers of the series have been eagerly anticipating to see whether deceivers Cat Burns and Alan Carr will secure the £100,000 prize for charity or whether faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be triumphant.
A past champion of the third series of the show commented that "no one likes reveals", which are "the thief of joy".
The winner mentioned they will be settling in to view the final this evening as it airs, with all of his family and "a bucket of popcorn".
Thursday's concluding installment is lengthened to 70 minutes on the main channel, with an extended edition of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked set to air on BBC Two after the finale.
Presenter Ed Gamble will be joined by the cast and the co-host as they react to the series conclusion.
