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 the emotional fallout of betraying his friend and co-star Paloma Faith during the show. Their friendship became one of the season’s most discussed storylines on the BBC series.
Speaking on the spin-off show Uncloaked, Carr admitted the experience was painful and expressed remorse for his actions towards Paloma. The singer, reflecting on the incident, shared her sadness but also explained why she still saw Alan as a deserving winner.
"It was awful. So awful, and weird because I love Paloma," Alan said. "I'm a fan of her music, I've been a fan for ages and we’re friends, it absolutely, really hurt."
Earlier in the season, Paloma had been “murdered” in full view by the Traitors, an event that shocked both the contestants and viewers when it was revealed Alan was behind it. Each elimination afterward sparked the same question: how could Alan have betrayed his close friend?
After winning and securing prize money for his chosen charity, Carr admitted feeling both joy and guilt. He described the moment of victory as bittersweet: pride for his success yet burdened by the betrayal it required.
