The comedian Alan Carr, 49, triumphed on Celebrity Traitors after a tense final where he successfully concealed his Traitor role from the other contestants. Despite his victory, Carr publicly apologized to his friend and fellow contestant Paloma Faith.
On the spin-off show Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, which aired after the finale, Alan Carr expressed deep remorse for deceiving his friends, especially Paloma Faith, 44. He admitted feeling guilty about "murdering" her on the show, as she was one of his close pals.
Alan chose to eliminate the pregnant singer early in the game by touching her face with a simulated poisoned lily pollen, an act that left Paloma furious.
"The thing is, when I killed Paloma I felt sick inside. And you've got to remember, it was such a cruel twist to touch someone's face." — Alan Carr
He told host Ed Gamble that although he felt "awful" about the choice, he had no alternative but to pick Paloma as his first victim.
