The Prince, while mingling with a group of people, quipped: "I'm going to get the answer. Do you watch The Traitors?"

He continued, "I'm going to get the answer to what happens, and I am going to tell you all later. Spoiler alert: today he's here."

The move could spark outrage among fans, who want to avoid spoilers to keep the suspense alive while watching the show.

 Kemp is currently appearing in the second series of the show, competing alongside 20 fellow celebrities for a £100,000 charity prize.

The Prince previously told Stephen Lambert, the TV executive whose production company is behind the format, that his family were eagerly anticipating the first celebrity series.

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, Celebrity Traitors tasks its contestants with identifying which players have been secretly designated as traitors, all while taking on challenges that build up the prize fund.

It happened when the two British stars were in the county to unveil a new initiative with the National Emergencies Trust, for which Kate's husband serves as patron and Kemp acts as ambassador.
