Alan Carr, winner of the BBC series Celebrity Traitors, opened up about the difficult moment involving his friend and co-star Paloma Faith. The tension between them became a major talking point throughout the show.
Alan described betraying Paloma on the show as "awful" and admitted it "really hurt." Speaking live on the spin-off series Uncloaked, he said to Paloma,
“I’m so sorry.”
Paloma shared her sadness about the situation but also expressed why she believed Alan deserved to win. Earlier in the series, Paloma was shocked when she was "murdered" by the Traitors in plain sight, and discovering that Alan was behind it left her furious.
After Paloma's elimination, other stars frequently questioned how Alan could betray a close friend. This became a common theme among the cast and viewers alike.
When revealed as the winner, Alan admitted feeling guilty for lying throughout the competition, despite winning prize money for his charity. He beat fellow contestants David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed.
Commenting on the betrayal, Alan said,
“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 Carr emotionally addressed his betrayal of Paloma Faith on Celebrity Traitors, expressing deep regret for hurting a friend despite ultimately winning the competition.
