Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr 'poached for new BBC game show'

Alan Carr Joins New BBC Game Show

Alan Carr, known for his role on Celebrity Traitors and his sitcom Changing Ends on ITV, has been recruited by the BBC for a fresh format. The comedian is gaining even more visibility following his popular turn as a Traitor on the BBC One game show Celebrity Traitors.

New Projects and TV Presence

At 49, Alan Carr is reportedly filming abroad for a new prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests, according to The Sun. This opportunity follows speculation about a new TV deal for the comedian, eight years after his Channel 4 chat show, Chatty Man, ended.

Competition and Industry Buzz

The move could position Alan in direct competition with Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who recently renewed his contract to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV.

"Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him. But the BBC have acted quickly and last week he was jetted out to a swanky European city for a day of filming a pilot."

Summary

Alan Carr's swift transition to a BBC quiz show highlights his rising prominence and ongoing appeal across major UK broadcasters.
