Alan Carr, winner of the BBC series Celebrity Traitors, opened up about the difficult moment involving his friend and co-star Paloma Faith. His decision to betray Paloma on the show was a central topic that sparked considerable discussion among viewers and participants alike.
Reflecting on the experience during the spin-off series Uncloaked, Alan admitted the betrayal "was awful" and confessed to feeling genuine pain. Speaking directly to Paloma, he said he was "so sorry."
Paloma revealed her sadness about what happened but also expressed why Alan earned his win despite the drama. Earlier in the series, Paloma was shocked to be eliminated openly by the Traitors, only to discover that Alan, her close friend, was behind it. This betrayal left her furious.
After this, whenever contestants were eliminated, their first question often was how Alan could turn on such a good friend. This theme resonated strongly with both the cast and the audience.
Immediately after being announced the winner and securing the charity prize money, Alan broke down, overwhelmed by the guilt of having to lie throughout the competition.
"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."
Alan’s public apology highlighted the emotional complexity behind the game’s strategic moves and the real friendships tested on-screen.
Summary: Alan Carr expressed deep remorse for betraying Paloma Faith on Celebrity Traitors, acknowledging the pain it caused despite his victory and friendship.
