Alan Carr confessed to a betrayal that extends beyond the Scottish castle walls of *The Traitors*. His target? None other than his close friend, Paloma Faith. The comedian, embracing his role as a cunning Traitor, admitted the fallout from eliminating Paloma has been… frosty, to say the least.
He described a newfound relish for deception, a surprising taste for “killing people willy nilly.” The first victim of his strategic game was Paloma, dispatched with a touch to the face – a chilling act played out in plain sight. It was a move that instantly fractured their friendship.
“She said, ‘If you were a real friend, you wouldn’t have killed me,’” Carr revealed on his podcast. His response? A blunt reminder of the show’s premise: *The Traitors* does exactly what it promises. Paloma hasn’t let the incident go, expressing her disappointment through pointed TikTok posts.
Carr playfully compared the situation to the expectations of another revealing show, *Naked Attraction*. He argued that participants know what they’re signing up for, and he was simply playing the game. The decision to target Paloma wasn’t arbitrary, however.
He confessed a reluctance to engage in similar “murders” with older, more respected contestants like Stephen Fry and Celia Imrie, fearing the optics would be… unsettling. He acknowledged looking “creepy as it is.”
Despite the current tension, Carr intends to mend fences. He plans to take Paloma to dinner, reaffirming his affection and admiration for her. He understands, however, that being the first eliminated contestant isn’t a position anyone desires. He admitted to panicking in the moment.
