Paloma Faith and Alan Carr Address Their Rift on The Celebrity Traitors
The TV show The Celebrity Traitors concluded with Alan Carr crowned as the winner, despite his noticeable sweating and louder voice compared to others. However, viewers were curious about the real status of his friendship with singer Paloma Faith, whom he had seemingly betrayed early in the series.
The Post-Show Confrontation on Uncloaked
During the final episode of the companion show Uncloaked, host Ed Gamble confronted Alan Carr with a question: was it time to apologize to Paloma Faith, who was sitting right beside him?
"Now with the nation watching, do you think it's time for an apology? I mean, Paloma's sat right there."
Alan responded uneasily but lightened the mood with humor:
"I am so sorry. You know I am and I want to tell everyone that I'm the father of a child. We had a make-up hug, one thing led to another."
Paloma’s Emotional Response
Pregnant with her fourth child, Paloma expressed her feelings, highlighting the affection behind the tension:
"Observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions I feel like that the reason why Alan won, and the reason why I was so sad, was because we all love him so much. And I love you so much and I'm so happy that you won because it was bloody worth it then."
She added a reflection on the public's vote:
"But I think that most people didn't vote for you because they're like how can we vote someone that's so lovable and it really concludes that thing that you you won it, you hurt me and I loved you, but...."
Alan concluded with a pun on one of Paloma's songs:
"Only love can hurt like that.."
– referencing Paloma’s 2014 hit, Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
Summary: Despite early conflict, Paloma Faith and Alan Carr showed mutual affection and humor, revealing that their public rift was softened by deep care and respect.
