Alan Carr was comforted by Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga as he broke down in tears, after winning the first series of Celebrity Traitors
Alan Carr has received a warning from The Traitors champion Harry Clark, following his victory on the celebrity version of the programme. On Thursday evening, the comedian secured the £87,000 prize for his chosen charity after the faithfuls failed to identify him as a traitor.
The 49-year-old made it to the final three with faithfuls David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed, who together eliminated Joe Marler in an unexpected twist.
After the trio chose to conclude the game following Joe and Cat Burns’ elimination, they each disclosed their true identities.
While finally confessing to being a traitor, Alan broke down in tears as he admitted the role had been “tearing [him] apart”.
He proceeded to apologise to his fellow Celebrity Traitors co-stars, who consoled him during the emotional scene.
Reflecting on his win, Harry, from series two, warned Alan to “be prepared” for what happens next.
Chatting on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, he explained: “I think the only people that trusted me [after winning] was my family and everyone still has that, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I can trust you because of what I’ve seen you do’.
“But then again, Alan was telling the truth, like even when he said he was a faithful he was laughing.
“So, he might get away with it a little bit more than me, but he should be prepared for people not believing a word he says from now on.”
Harry went on to say he wasn’t taken aback by Alan’s emotional reveal, adding: “No not at all, I think once you’re there, you really understand it, the show is completely different when you’re there.”
“At the end of the day it’s a game, and he’s also raised a lot of money for his own charity, he should be very proud of himself.”
The 24-year-old further commented that Alan’s tears “just shows how much of a good person he is”. During the game show, Alan shockingly “murdered” his friend Paloma Faith in plain sight as part of a challenge.
Following her departure, the singer confessed to feeling “humiliated” and “embarrassed” about being the first to leave. She revealed on The One Show: “My four-year-old woke up next to me and she just shook me and she went, ‘Mama, I don’t like Alan anymore he can’t come to our house’.”
She continued: “She was like ‘You can’t invite him to our house again’. I was like ‘Oh God’, she shared, before adding: “He was the only one that my kids have met and they’re like ‘Mummy’s friend’.”
Last night, Alan and Paloma had a face-to-face discussion about the incident that strained their friendship. Speaking alongside Ed Gamble in front of their co-stars, Alan admitted: “I’m a fan of her music, I’ve been a fan of hers for ages. We are friends, we go on each other’s podcasts. It absolutely really hurt, it really did.”
Paloma responded: “Observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions, the reason why Alan won and the reason why I was so sad was because we all love him so much.
