Celebrity Traitors final live: Alan Carr makes hilarious agent admission after tearful victory
Alan Carr is crowned the first ever winner of the star-studded spin-off after favourite Faithful Joe Marler is unexpectedly banished
The first season of Celebrity Traitors has come to a dramatic conclusion, with Traitor Alan Carr crowned as the winner – much to the surprise of everyone, including his agent.
The comedian beat Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga after successfully managing to convince them that he was, in fact, a Faithful and stealing the prize fund from under their noses.
Alan has now revealed that his agent booked him jobs midway through recording as he thought he’d be so useless on the show. Instead, he defeated the odds to become the last Traitor standing and duped Nick and David, who turned their suspicions to Joe Marler at the last moment.
Alan, Nick and David then chose to finish the competition as a trio, meaning that the comedian, as the last remaining Traitor, took the entire prize pot for his chosen charity. After admitting that he’d been a Traitor all along, an emotional Carr broke down in tears.
It was a gripping end to a series that has captured the viewing public’s imagination – although a select few viewers managed to catch the final episode early, after it was accidentally leaked a day early in Canada.

I’ve tracked down Claudia Winkleman’s exact outfits from The Celebrity Traitors
Mission accomplished!
I would 100 per cent watch the hell out of this heist movie. Make it happen, BBC!
It's time for the pre-roundtable chats
So Alan’s masterplan seems to rely on managing to pursue Joe that Nick is a Traitor? I’m not entirely convinced that he can pull it off. And this new alliance between Nick and David could prove powerful...
Oof. Joe is trying to keep Alan on side by bringing him bowls of Malteasers... all while secretly planning to pull the rug from under his feet at the round table! What a strategist.
Time for the obligatory 'Hanging Tree' moment
And if you had “eerie slowed down cover of the ‘Hanging Tree’ song from ‘Hunger Games’” on your Celebrity Traitors bingo card, congratulations!
'Shieldgate' gets a mention
Inevitably, Alan’s shield slip-up has already got some airtime at the round table, with both Nick and Joe mentioning the moment when he appeared to totally forget all about the fact that he was marked safe from murder.
Once again, Alan’s managed to use comedy to deflect from the situation, with a pretty solid impression of Joe, and has made a pretty decent case for himself. God, he’s good at this!
It's curtains for Cat!
And it’s time for the votes!
Two votes for Cat, two for David, and then Joe gets the deciding vote... His choice? Cat!
It’s taken a long, long time, but the Faithfuls have finally cracked the code and booted out another Traitor.
Of course, Nick and Joe don’t know that Cat is in fact a Traitor.
“She just wasn’t even on my radar,” Alan quips. How is our last Traitor standing going to play this?
