Jonathan Ross reveals ‘horrible’ Traitors moment with Alan Carr that didn’t air

Jonathan Ross was one of the three Traitors in the first ever celebrity version of the show alongside winner Alan Carr and singing sensation Cat Burns

Jonathan Ross has revealed a “horrible” moment on Celebrity Traitors with Alan Carr that never aired. The chat show host was the first Traitor to be found out on the series after the Faithfuls rumbled his identity.

He worked alongside Cat Burns and eventual winner Alan Carr but didn’t quite pull the wool over the Faithfuls’ eyes. Despite taking to the sneaky role well, Jonathan has said there was one moment that didn’t make it on the show.

He said that there was a clip that left Alan with his “head in his hands” before going on to be crowned the winner. In a shock turn of events, Alan managed to win the show which means he won a huge amount of money for his chosen charity.

Jonathan appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain where he discussed the moment. Speaking about the show, Jonathan said: “I did feel it was much harder than I expected, and I did struggle with that.”

He then explained that there was one moment in particular which got him and Alan the most. Jonathan said: “Cat not so much, she said it was a game, she found it easy to put into perspective, even though often we’d be driving home much later at night than you guys, we’d be driving in the car with head in our hands going ‘oh God’.

“And Alan and I were very aware that it was taking its toll. But having said that, what a lovely opportunity what an incredible thing to be apart of.”

Showbiz reporter Richard Arnold went on to say that it was interesting that the show was “quite the pressure cooker that it was”.

Jonathan added: “It was horrible at times, because as a traitor you’re speaking to really nice people who you wanted to support in the show, and make sure they had a good times well.

“Then you would suspect, or be fairly certain they knew it was you. Whenever I do a show I always go in and said I’ll give as much as I can, try and help the show be as good as it can be. I always turn up to work.

“Then you have to try and engineer ways to get them out and you see them standing there being banished… because you’re successful and then you see they’re upset and to see someone upset, you’ve played a part in it.

“It’s a horrible feeling, even though it’s essential to the game.” Viewers were shocked when it was revealed that ALan had managed to win the game.

Despite continuously smirking when Faithfuls were banished, somehow he still managed to go undetected. When he was crowned the winner, Alan burst into tears as he admitted he had found the process difficult.

The comedian said: “I was awful, I had no poker face but here I am. Maybe I do exaggerate a showbiz story now and again. But to just lie to people’s faces, it was tough.”

Scrubs fans point out 1 thing about cast as reboot starts filming after 15 years

Scrubs is set to return to our screens 15 years after the sitcom was cancelled, and fans of the show have all said the same thing about the returning cast

Scrubs is set to make its comeback to our television screens early next year, and fans have spotted something remarkable about the cast for the forthcoming 10th series. The sitcom initially aired on NBC for seven series between 2001 and 2008, chronicling the life of Doctor John ‘JD’ Dorian (played by Zach Braff) and his colleagues at Sacred Heart Hospital.

ABC picked up the programme for its eighth series after NBC announced it would not be renewing it, which was meant to be the final series. However, in late 2009, a ninth series was commissioned, though it was subtitled ‘Med School’ and featured a new setting at a medical school, alongside new cast members. ABC officially cancelled the series in 2010, but 15 years later, Scrubs is now in production for a 10th season, which will premiere in February 2026.

The new series will see numerous original cast members return to our screens, including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Donald Faison as Christopher Turk, and Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa.

Following the official Scrubs account on TikTok, sharing a video announcing the 10th series has officially entered production, fans of the programme couldn’t help but highlight one thing about some of the returning cast.

In comments on the video, which showed several members of the cast holding up signs that read “now in production”, numerous fans noticed that multiple actors appeared as though they hadn’t aged – even 15 years after they last featured in the programme.

One fan remarked: “It’s like Sarah Chalke doesn’t age at all.”

Another chimed in: “Sarah hasn’t aged a day!”

But it wasn’t just Chalke receiving all the compliments, as another viewer noted: “Wait, did Donald Faison even age a bit?”

Viewers were also taken aback to see that John C. McGinley was absent from the video, with many stating they “don’t want” a Scrubs reboot without his beloved character, Dr Perry Cox. In the series, JD views Dr Cox as a mentor, despite his frequent criticism and condescension towards the young doctor.

However, fans can rest easy, as McGinley is confirmed to be reprising his role in the reboot.

One character who won’t be making a comeback, however, is Sacred Heart’s lawyer, Ted Buckland. Ted was portrayed by Sam Lloyd, who tragically passed away in 2020 at the age of 56, and fans have expressed that the show won’t feel the same without him.

A viewer wrote: “I don’t know if I can watch it without Sam Lloyd.”

Another added: “I’m sad we won’t see Ted.”

Cheryl has been spotted in an ultra rare appearance at the 2025 Women of the Year awards. The singer joined several other huge stars on the red carpet in a rare outing.

Thursday night saw the famous faces attend the Harper’s Bazaar event where they celebrated the achievements of women over the last year. Cheryl made her first public appearance last month after the funeral of Liam Payne.

She slicked her brunette hair back into a sleek ponytail and opted for a full glam makeup look. Cheryl went to the awards to present Jade with the musician award.

Several other people were at the special ceremony such as actress Celia Imrie following her iconic Celebrity Traitors stint. Adolescence actress Erin Doherty opted for a sophisticated look as she sported a tailored grey suit.

Mia Threapleton, who is the daughter of Hollywood actress Kate Winslet, looked stunning in a black bodycon gown while Reese Witherspoon went for a blue and green number.

Olivia Wilde was there in a smart black suit and pundit Alex Scott went for a different look to usual as she arrived in a 1920s inspired outfit finished off with a red lip.

The awards come as Cheryl made a rare public appearance last month as the one year anniversary of Liam Payne’s death was marked. Liam, who was also the father of their son, Bear, died on 16 October 2024.

The Girls Aloud star stepped out to celebrate her bandmate Nicola Robert’s 40th birthday at the Lanesborough Hotel in Belgravia.

She was joined by Kimberley Walsh and Nicola’s closest friends for a glam dinner. Cheryl lives a very private personal life and tends not to be seen at star studded events.

She was dressed in all black for the outing, sporting a black blazer, trousers and a bra top underneath her jacket. Her hair was in a down, wavy style and she had a glowy makeup for the occasion.

Liam was aged just 31 when he died on October 16 last year. His death was caused injuries sustained after he fell from the balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Liam and Cheryl were in a relationship for two years from 2016 to 2018. While the pair first met in 2010, when he auditioned for X Factor when Cheryl was a judge on the show, they did not get together until after her separation from French restauranteur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini years later.

In March 2017, Cheryl gave birth to their son, Bear Payne. Just over a year later, in July 2018, the couple announced their split.

Other than the fact that their baby is a daughter, Frankie hasn’t shared any other information. Fans jumped in the comments to congratulate the couple. One said: “The biggest congratulations lovely! So happy for you and baby girls safe arrival xxxxx”.

Another wrote: “Big congratulations to you and your expanding family. Such a blessing and miracle that your daughter is here and healthy”. Broadcaster Ashley James also congratulated Frankie, saying: “Huge huge congratulations. I hope you’re doing ok and had a calm birth.”

The happy news comes just over two months after Frankie’s sister died. In an Instagram update posted on 31 August, Frankie wrote: “My sister passed away early this morning.

“We will miss her forever but trying to find comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and is hopefully bouncing around up there somewhere, doing what she loved most.

“Gymnastics, being with her friends and family, surrounded by nature, eating terrys chocolate orange or green and blacks almond chocolate.

“We will miss her infectious, incredibly loud, laugh forever. Thank you to everyone, people I know and people I don’t know who have always messaged to check in on her.”

Frankie hasn’t chosen to share more about her sister’s death online, instead choosing to focus on her pregnancy journey. Just days ago, she posted a video sharing how she was getting ready for the birth of her baby, as she had gotten her due date.

The video showed her getting her breast pump ready to help with breast feeding and she shared that she wasn’t sure she was ready for her next baby.

“I really can’t tell if I’m ready for this next baby. 50% of me is like ‘let’s get her out now’. The other 50% remembers very clearly what it does mean to actually have her here. So I’m trying to enjoy a few nights of uninterrupted sleep.”

Alan Carr breaks silence on teary Traitors final and why he really broke down

The Celebrity Traitors winner has spoken out on his tearful reaction to winning the BBC show, after he was unmasked as a Traitor in the final episode of the series

Alan Carr has opened up about his emotional reaction to winning Celebrity Traitors, confessing why he broke down after winning the show.

Despite nearly blowing his cover in the penultimate episode, the funnyman managed a surprise victory in Thursday night’s finale, swiping the prize money from Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga.

After the unanimous vote to end the game, Carr was moved to tears as he confessed he was a Traitor, with his fellow finalists rushing to comfort him – even though he’d just nicked the entire £87,500 prize pot from them.

The Celebrity Traitors final had an average audience of 11.1 million, with a peak of 12 million, the BBC said, adding that it was the biggest overnight audience since the episode of Gavin & Stacey on Christmas Day last year.

Reflecting on the tearful moment, Carr told the BBC: “I think all the deceit, the lying, the murdering of Paloma [Faith] and Celia [Imrie] had all taken its toll and then I think it dawned on me that I had won such a huge amount for my charity, Neuroblastoma UK.

“The charity is so close to my heart that it all became a bit too much. Hopefully when people see how upset I was they won’t feel so bad that I killed all those national treasures.”

Singer Faith was the first ‘victim’ of the Traitors and it was Carr, one of her good mates, who committed the act in broad daylight. The comic later ousted actor Imrie from the game after toasting her at a dinner party. Carr shared that staff at his chosen charity were also moved to tears upon learning he had won the cash for them.”

“I told one person at the charity and they started crying, so that gives you some idea of how important this money will be to them,” he said. “Neuroblastoma is such a cruel disease, and this money will literally save lives. It’s a charity and disease that no one has really heard of so with the viewing figures being what they are it’s going to be so good for the charity.”

Before the grand final aired, The Celebrity Traitors had already become the year’s most-watched programme, with the opening four episodes pulling in an average of 12.6 million viewers, based on official seven-day consolidated Barb figures.

The finale witnessed the remaining five players reduce their numbers to three by eliminating Traitor Cat Burns and targeting Faithful Joe Marler, before deciding to conclude the game. A fresh civilian series is scheduled to broadcast in 2026.

It was also revealed that Alan is tipped to become one of the new presenters of Strictly Come Dancing after his The Celebrity Traitors triumph. An insider has said Alan is being considered for Strictly, as Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are set to leave. They added: “He has got to be up there with the BBC to get a huge new role… Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, Strictly.”

And a BBC source said: “Alan has always been a star – but it’s amazing what a month in a Scottish castle can do to elevate your career. He’s ours now.”

The Mirror had reported how chatter linked Alan to one of the Strictly vacancies, but now his triumph in the Scottish castle is said to have firmed his bid to take the Saturday night gig. The presenter had been praised for “super competitive streak” and charisma during his time on The Celebrity Traitors, which began at the start of October.

James Bond legend dies as family pay heartbreaking tribute

James Bond legend Lee Tamahori has died at the age of 75. The New Zealand-born director was best known for having been at the helm of Die Another Day in 2002, which starred Pierce Brosnan in the title role of the iconic 007 spy and featured a soundtrack headed up by Madonna, but he passed away after battling Parkinson’s Disease for a period of time.

In a statement, his family said: “His legacy endures with his whānau, his mokopuna, every filmmaker he inspired, every boundary he broke, and every story he told with his genius eye and honest heart. A charismatic leader and fierce creative spirit, Lee championed Māori talent both on and off screen.

“He ultimately returned home to tell stories grounded in whakapapa and identity, with Mahana and his latest film The Convert, reaffirming his deep connection to Aotearoa. We’ve lost an immense creative spirit.”
