The Celebrity Traitors final was nail-biting to the end as millions tuned in to see fantastic Traitor Alan Carr took home the prize pot after fooling David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed
The final of the Celebrity Traitors got underway last night and had millions of viewers on the edge of their seat. Two Traitors, Cat Burns and Alan Carr, made it to the final, but ultimately Cat was banished and Alan took home the prize pot. Cat has now revealed an unseen moment that changed everything for the finalists.
The singer was a Traitor from the start and had sailed through most of the episodes with relatively little suspicion cast her way. But in the semi final, Joe Marler seemed to guess she and Alan were not as Faithful as they claimed, and Cat’s chances of winning appeared to slip away.
Ultimately, she was banished, but so was Joe. When Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga agreed to stop banishing people, while Alan was still in their midst, they lost out on the prize pot too.

On BBC Breakfast, Cat shared the real reason she was banished. She shared that had she not pushed for Kate Garraway’s banishment in the semi-final, she would have stood more of a chance as she wouldn’t have been the only woman left.
She said: “In hindsight, I think if we didn’t banish Kate before, I probably would have had a chance as there would have been two women left. Then they could have been like, ‘is it Cat, is it Kate’.”
But because Kate was gone, and proven to be a Faithful, Cat was “the last one left” from the female celebs, which led the others to think it had to be her. On screen, this theory wasn’t shown.
The Faithfuls had many theories about who the Traitors could be. Most talked about was the Big Dog theory, which suggested that the two camps, Faithful and Traitor, had to be headed up by Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross respectively as they were ‘Big Dogs’ and the production would want to pit them against each other.
However, none of the remaining Faithfuls made any reference to Cat being the only woman in their on-screen deliberations, nor did they suggest that one of the Traitors had to be a woman.
In the course of the show, the Faithfuls only caught one Traitor prior to the final. Jonathan Ross was caught and banished in the quarter final. As such, the remaining Faithfuls were sure there were two Traitors left.
This spelled trouble for Cat, who could not convince the others she was Faithful and was banished. But she was unable to tell the group that she was a Traitor.
They continued to vote, hunting for their third Traitor. In a shock to many, Nick and David, who had seemed aligned with Joe on his theory about Alan, turned on the rugby star and voted him off.
Satisfied that they had caught all the Traitors, Nick, David and Alan agreed to stop voting, only for it to be revealed that Alan had been a Traitor all along. He won the prize money for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK.
The charity, which tries to help children with cancer, received £87,500 from the comedian. In a touching message, they said: “We’ve adored watching you over the last three weeks; all the more so with the glimmer of hope that if you did well, it might just mean something big for our small charity. And you did it.
“As our faithful Patron for nine years, your commitment, compassion and drive to bring hope to children and families facing this aggressive cancer have been nothing short of transformational. As a small charity with a big mission, you know how much this means to us.”
