The Celebrity Traitors finale isn’t due to air until November 6 but the show has reportedly been hit by a major leak, with insiders claiming to have revealed who wins the series to friends.
According to The Daily Star, spoilers from the BBC spin-off were leaked on Wednesday, sparking concern among producers.
So far, viewers have watched Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns ruthlessly eliminate six Faithfuls.
After poisoning singer Paloma Faith with a deadly plant, the trio went on to target Tom Daley and Ruth Codd, before Clare Balding, Niko Omilana and Tameka Empson were banished from the castle.
But now it appears there’s a real traitor in the mix — with reports claiming the results of the finale have already leaked and are circulating in showbiz circles.
“Everyone involved with the show agreed to stay quiet, but the show has a traitor in its midst,” a source told the outlet. “They let slip who wins and the information has spread.”
“It’s vital that key details about the series don’t get out. Everyone is hoping the leak stops telling people who wins as it could ruin the series for viewers.”
The Standard has contacted BBC for comment.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Ross has spoken about behind-the-scenes edits that never made it to air, revealing that Celebrity Traitors bosses cut “gold” footage featuring his fellow Traitor, Alan Carr.
Speaking on his Reel Talk with Honey & Jonathan Ross podcast, Ross praised producers for condensing the sprawling series but admitted that “brilliant moments” were left out.
“Bear in mind, 19 contestants in our version, challenges to do as well and chunks of day that they have to have. It's almost impossible for them to condense,” he shared.
“I think they’ve done an incredible job and there are lovely people who worked on it. They looked after us all.”
He even called on the BBC to release a one-off special dedicated to Carr’s funniest moments, adding: “But obviously, there's so much left on the cutting room floor.
“There are so many moments. I think they should release a director's Alan Carr special.”
The Celebrity Traitors continues every Wednesday and Thursday on BBC One at 9pm
