Alan Carr 'hurt' by Paloma Faith drama on Celebrity Traitors and says 'so sorry'
The Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr opened up about the emotional fallout from his on-screen betrayal of friend and co-star Paloma Faith. The incident became one of the biggest talking points of the BBC series.
“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.”
During the spin-off show Uncloaked, Carr publicly apologized to Paloma, admitting that his actions had deeply affected him. He described the moment as painful and confessed he felt guilty even while celebrating his victory.
Paloma, who was “murdered” earlier in the game by the Traitors, later expressed sadness and explained why she still believed Alan deserved to win. Her elimination had shocked both the cast and viewers, especially after learning her close friend was behind it.
Despite the tension, Alan managed to triumph in the final, defeating David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed, and donating his winnings to charity. The emotional exchange on-air allowed both stars to address their complicated feelings following the show’s dramatic twist.
