The first episode of Celebrity Traitors aired on Wednesday, and it delivered a jaw-dropping twist that left fans reeling. Comedian Alan Carr, selected as one of the show’s Traitors alongside Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns, wasted no time in making his mark with a bold and ruthless move. Tasked with committing the first “murder” in plain sight, Alan executed the act with a chilling blend of charm and deception, catching everyone—both on-screen and off—off guard.

The rules of the game were clear: Alan had to touch a black lily and then the face of his chosen victim to seal their fate. As he wandered through the group in a state of nervous energy, fans watched with bated breath, wondering who would fall prey to his decision. In a shocking turn of events, Alan made his way to the kitchen, where he found himself alongside his close friend Paloma Faith and actress Ruth Codd. With a subtle but deliberate touch, he carried out the deadly deed, marking Paloma as his victim.

The audacity didn’t stop there. As the celebrities gathered around a fire outside, Alan threw a sly wink to fellow Traitor Jonathan Ross, signaling that the task was complete. Later, in the secrecy of the turret, Alan revealed to Jonathan and Cat that he had chosen Paloma, a decision that left viewers stunned. The betrayal of his friend sent shockwaves through the Traitors fanbase, with reactions flooding X. One fan exclaimed, “Noooooo Alan! Not Paloma!” while another wrote, “Paloma girl. You was GOT.” A third viewer lamented, “I cannot believe Paloma Faith is going to be dead by the end of the day…”

The drama escalated the next morning when host Claudia Winkleman gathered the celebrities for breakfast, only to announce that they should prepare for a funeral. The group joined a somber procession, arriving at three coffins that held the Traitors’ chosen victims. Clues were provided to deduce who had been “eliminated,” and the names revealed were Lucy Beaumont, Paloma Faith, and Niko Omilana. In a moment dripping with theatrical flair, Claudia walked the line and dramatically closed the lid on Paloma’s coffin, leaving the remaining celebrities—and viewers at home—utterly gobsmacked.

Alan Carr’s cold-blooded betrayal has set the tone for a season of Celebrity Traitors filled with deception, alliances, and unexpected twists. As fans recover from the shock of Paloma’s exit, one thing is certain: no one is safe in this game of treachery.
