Alan Carr Apologizes to Paloma Faith After The Celebrity Traitors Finale
The winner of The Celebrity Traitors, comedian Alan Carr, opened up about the emotional fallout of the BBC series, particularly regarding his close friend and co-star Paloma Faith.
After being unmasked as one of the Traitors, Alan admitted he deeply regretted betraying Paloma during the game. Speaking on the spin-off show Uncloaked, he expressed his remorse directly to her.
“It was awful. So awful, and weird because I love Paloma. I’m a fan of her music, I’ve been a fan of her for ages and we’re friends, it absolutely, really hurt.”
Paloma, who had been "murdered" earlier in the show by the Traitors, confessed she was hurt and shocked to learn Alan was responsible. However, she also became emotional while explaining why she still believed he deserved to win.
The revelation of Alan’s betrayal became one of the main talking points among both the contestants and fans watching at home. Every time a celebrity was eliminated afterward, their first reaction upon hearing Alan was a Traitor was disbelief that he had turned against Paloma.
When Alan was later crowned the winner, defeating fellow Faithfuls David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed, he broke down on air. Despite securing the prize money for his chosen charity, he admitted feeling guilty about lying to his friends throughout the game.
