For far too long now, live viewing events have almost been exclusively gatekept for sport.
Whether it be the World Cup or Wimbledon, society has deemed it unacceptable for the finales of reality TV series to be shown live in pubs.
But as the final of the fourth series of The Traitors looms, the tide finally appears to be changing.
The launch show of the fourth regular series, which aired on New Years Day, was watched live by a whopping average of 6.4million people.
Now, following several calls from Traitors fans to air the BBC series live publicly, viewers will now be able to enjoy some roundtable drama alongside other people.
From pubs to cinemas, Metro has put together a list of venues in London that are hosting screenings.
With a prize of up to £120,000, not even Claudia Winkleman’s soothing yet spooky presence will be able to alleviate the tension in Friday night’s final.

Turning Faithful against Faithful, and even Traitor against Traitor, the murder mystery game in the Scottish Highlands will soon be taking over our favourite bars and restaurants.
In a series of watch parties across London, people can enjoy this game of sabotage and treachery on giant screens with themed cocktails and a buzzy atmosphere.
So, whether you’re team Traitor or Faithful, you might need to book fast to get into these places, as some are already sold out!
Has the winner already been accidentally declared?
According to some eagle-eyed observers, one Traitors star might have accidentally dropped a huge clue that they won the show.

Where can you watch The Traitors’ season four final live?
The Faber Fox in Crystal Palace, The Perky Nel in Clapham, and The Bull in Wanstead are all showing the live announcement of who will be the 2026 winner of The Traitors.
The good thing about many of the pub screenings is that entry is free.
So head down to The Artful Duke in Bromley or The Rosy Hue in Elephant and Castle to catch the much-loved show come to an end for the fourth season.
Walthamstow establishment, The Chequers is also holding a screen, and offering £4.50 pints until 8pm.
If you’re wanting more of a bar vibe, then you could head to John the Unicorn in Peckham, where tickets for their screening are priced at £5.50.
Keeping it cheap is LEX2 Livesey Exchange on Old Kent Road, who are hosting a watch party with tickets starting at £6.18.
Meanwhile, The Regent in Balham and The Conductor in St Paul’s are also showing the final for free.
Many venues have already sold all their tickets, like Kerb Social Club in Spitalfields, and Juju’s Bar & Stage in Shoreditch.
The Brewdog in Waterloo station was also selling tickets for £5.50, but, sadly, the event has been sold out!
The same goes for the London Art Bar, Exhibit Cinema in Balham, Genesis Cinema in Bethnal Green, the Picturehouse in Finsbury Park and Clapham Grand.
Ahead of the finale tonight, a former Traitors finalist has predicted that Stephen is going to backstab Rachel to win.
Wilf Webster lost the inaugural BBC run right at the bitter end, but speaking to Metro exclusively, the former Traitor believes it will only be so long before Stephen surprises us all by planting a dagger in his chum’s back.
‘He’s such a lovely person and we love him, but I think that’s going to be the big shock factor,’ Wilf told us.
The Traitors returns tonight on BBC One at 8.30pm.
