Alan Carr Unintentionally Spoils Celebrity Traitors Outcome Hours After Filming

Comedian Alan Carr recently revealed a slip-up regarding the outcome of the BBC’s reality show, Celebrity Traitors. This admission came just twelve hours after filming the final episode.

Alan Carr’s Spoiler Moment

At 49, Carr was a contestant on the show, where he dramatically triumphed against historian David Olusoga and actor Nick Mohammed. Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show, Carr expressed his embarrassment over unintentionally revealing his victory.

How It Happened

The comedian was filming another show, Channel 4’s Secret Genius, when the incident occurred. He recalled, “I felt so stupid. When I did The Traitors, I expected to be eliminated early.” His fears seemed justified, as his agent humorously suggested that his “motor mouth” would lead to an early exit. Instead, Carr continued in the competition much longer than he anticipated.

The Accidental Revelation

• During filming for Secret Genius, a cameraman jokingly congratulated Carr.
• Unintentionally, he responded, “How did you know I won?”
• The cameraman was unaware of his actual victory and was only teasing.

Realizing his mistake, Carr attempted to cover for himself, stating, “I had to backtrack because you can’t tell anything.” Despite his efforts, the news was out.

Impact of Celebrity Traitors Appearance

Since his participation in Celebrity Traitors, which has gained significant popularity and critical acclaim, Carr has experienced increased public recognition. He shared an amusing anecdote from his recent trip to Mexico, where a woman shouted from a balcony, “I see you, Traitor!”

He jokingly noted that those unfamiliar with the show might misconstrue his identity, leading them to think he’s a criminal rather than a contestant.

About The Traitors

The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, involves contestants trying to identify the deceptive players—known as Traitors—among them. The show’s exciting premise includes the elimination of players during the night, all in pursuit of a cash prize.

During his time on Celebrity Traitors, Carr and his fellow Traitors eliminated several participants, including Paloma Faith, Celia Imrie, Lucy Beaumont, and Tom Daley.

The show has been a significant ratings success for the BBC, solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon. Carr, crowned the winner in the finale, shared that he initially managed to keep a low profile throughout his gameplay.

The complete discussion with Alan Carr is set to air on Friday’s episode of The Scott Mills Breakfast Show.
