Alan Carr, the winner of the BBC series Celebrity Traitors, opened up about the difficult moment when he betrayed his friend and co-star Paloma Faith. The drama was a major talking point throughout the show.
Alan described the betrayal as “awful” and admitted it caused him real pain. During a live appearance on the spin-off series Uncloaked, he sincerely apologized to Paloma, saying he was “so sorry.”
“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 also shared her sadness and became emotional while acknowledging why Alan deserved to win, despite the betrayal. Earlier in the series, she was dramatically “murdered” by the Traitors, which shocked her deeply, especially when she discovered it was Alan who was behind it.
On the day of the final, Alan broke down upon winning, feeling conflicted for having lied during the game. He beat co-stars David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed to claim the title.
Alan Carr's heartfelt apology and Paloma Faith’s emotional response reveal the deep personal conflicts behind the competitive reality series Celebrity Traitors.
