Alan Carr, the winner of Celebrity Traitors, openly reflected on the difficult moment involving his betrayal of close friend and co-star Paloma Faith, which became a major talking point throughout the BBC series.
Alan described the experience of betraying Paloma as "awful" and admitted it deeply affected him. Speaking live on the spin-off show Uncloaked, he apologized directly to Paloma, saying he was "so sorry."
"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."
Paloma revealed her sadness and frustration after learning Alan was behind her elimination, which came as a shock since they were close friends. She became emotional but also acknowledged why Alan was a deserving winner.
Earlier in the series, Paloma was unexpectedly "murdered" by the Traitors in plain sight, which devastated her. After this revelation, every star eliminated from the game questioned Alan about how he could betray Paloma, making it a recurring theme both on the show and among viewers.
Upon being declared the winner and securing the prize money for his charity, Alan broke down, overwhelmed by guilt for deceiving his co-stars and friends. He faced the challenge of winning the game while dealing with his feelings over the betrayal.
Alan Carr openly shared his emotional struggle with betraying Paloma Faith on Celebrity Traitors, expressing sincere remorse while Paloma balanced her hurt with respect for his win.
