Paloma Faith and Alan Carr Address Rift on The Celebrity Traitors
The Celebrity Traitors concluded with Alan Carr emerging as the winner. Despite his noticeable sweating and speaking louder than others, his victory raised one major question: what is the state of his friendship with singer Paloma Faith, whom he appeared to betray early in the series?
Post-Show Confrontation on Uncloaked
During the final episode of the companion show Uncloaked, host Ed Gamble directly asked Alan about the fallout with Paloma, who was present.
"Now with the nation watching, do you think it's time for an apology? I mean, Paloma's sat right there."
Alan responded with a mixture of discomfort and humor:
"I am so sorry. You know I am and I want to tell everyone that I'm the father of a child. We had a make-up hug, one thing led to another."
Paloma’s Emotional Response
Paloma Faith, who is pregnant with her fourth child, shared her feelings openly:
"Observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions I feel like that the reason why Alan won, and the reason why I was so sad, was because we all love him so much. And I love you so much and I'm so happy that you won because it was bloody worth it then."
She continued, reflecting on the public's reaction:
"But I think that most people didn't vote for you because they're like how can we vote someone that's so lovable and it really concludes that thing that you you won it, you hurt me and I loved you, but...."
Alan lightened the mood again with a nod to Paloma’s music:
"Only love can hurt like that.."
This referenced Paloma’s 2014 hit, Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
