Alan Carr 'hurt' by Paloma Faith drama on Celebrity Traitors and says 'so sorry'
Alan Carr, the winner of The Celebrity Traitors, opened up about his tense on-screen conflict with his friend and co-star Paloma Faith, which became one of the most discussed moments of the BBC series.
Reflecting on the betrayal, Alan admitted how difficult it had been for him to deceive Paloma, describing the experience as deeply painful.
"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 shared his regret during the show's spin-off Uncloaked, publicly apologizing to Paloma by saying he was "so sorry". Paloma, though visibly upset, expressed that she now understood why Alan deserved to win.
In the earlier episodes, Paloma had been dramatically "murdered" by the Traitors in full view of others, later discovering that Alan was behind the move. The revelation became a recurring topic among cast members and viewers alike, as many questioned how Alan could turn on someone so close to him.
After winning the competition and securing a donation for his chosen charity, Alan became emotional, admitting his guilt for deceiving his friends, even though it was part of the game.
