Prince William attempted to obtain exclusive spoilers for the BBC television series The Traitors from contestant Ross Kemp during a royal visit to Somerset. The future British monarch jokingly sought the inside information when the pair crossed paths to unveil a new National Emergencies Trust initiative.
"Do you watch The Traitors?" the Prince asked, adding that he intended to get answers about the show's outcome and reveal them to the public later. The move risks sparking outrage among viewers who prefer to maintain the programme's suspense.
Kemp is currently competing in the second series of the show alongside 20 fellow celebrities for a £100,000 charity prize. Prince William previously informed TV executive Stephen Lambert that his family eagerly anticipated the celebrity series.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, Celebrity Traitors features contestants completing challenges to build a prize fund while identifying secret traitors.
