This concluding episode of the celebrity version of the popular reality show was uploaded in error by overseas broadcasters prior to its scheduled UK broadcast on Thursday night, as confirmed official sources.
It is understood that the finale was viewed by a small number of subscribers of the online platform the streaming service in the North American country; they could view it for a couple of hours until it was removed.

"We kindly ask those who believes they have uncovered the outcome of The Celebrity Traitors to keep whatever they believe they know to themselves," the announcement said.
"Please avoid posting any spoilers so that the vast audience who have been closely watching every development of the show can experience the finale this night."
This celebrity version is presently the most-watched TV program of the current year, with an average of 12.6m people across the initial installments.
Fans of the show have been waiting to see whether traitors the traitors will win the £100,000 prize for a good cause or whether faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga will be victorious.
A former winner of the third season of the show stated that "no one likes reveals", which are "the thief of joy".
He said they will be settling in to view the finale tonight as it airs, with all of his family and "some snacks".
