Harry Clark, the cunning 23-year-old who clinched £95,150 in the second series of The Traitors in 2024, has unveiled a brilliant strategy that could propel comedian Alan Carr straight to the finale of Celebrity Traitors, currently airing on BBC One. Known for his masterful deception in outwitting his peers and remaining undetected as a Traitor, Harry’s strategic prowess is still razor-sharp. He recently shared his blueprint for success, dubbing it the “magic door” to the finale, and it positions Alan Carr as the potential champion after just four episodes.
Speaking to The Sun, Harry revealed how Alan, one of the three Traitors chosen by host Claudia Winkleman alongside Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns, could secure victory with a calculated betrayal. “Alan could have won The Celebrity Traitors in Thursday’s episode,” Harry declared confidently, outlining a plan that hinges on outmaneuvering his fellow Traitors and manipulating the game’s dynamics.
Harry’s strategy begins with Alan forming an alliance with Cat Burns to betray Jonathan Ross, whose time, according to Harry, is running out. “I would have got Cat Burns on my side to backstab Jonathan Ross. His time is coming, and you need to throw the dogs a bone—the Faithful need a Traitor,” he explained. By sacrificing Jonathan, who has already drawn suspicion from other celebrities, Alan could deflect attention and gain the trust of the Faithful.
The next step involves recruiting a high-profile celebrity like Kate Garraway, who has faced significant scrutiny in the game. Harry noted that Kate’s vulnerability makes her an ideal recruit, as she could later be thrown “under the bus” to protect Alan’s position. “Then get rid of Cat Burns by saying she was the mastermind,” Harry added, detailing how Alan could pin the blame on Cat to further secure his path to the finale. This ruthless double-cross would leave Alan as the last Traitor standing, poised to claim victory without breaking a sweat.
So far, Alan, Jonathan, and Cat have successfully deceived the Faithful, with Alan and Cat flying under the radar while Jonathan faces growing suspicion. The trio has already eliminated three celebrities—Paloma Faith, Tom Daley, and Ruth Codd—through strategic “murders.” Meanwhile, the Faithful have banished Clare Balding, Niko Omilana, and Tameka Empson, with Clare being the latest to exit after a tense roundtable. The fourth episode ended on a cliffhanger, teasing the Traitors’ next move with a looming fourth murder.
Harry’s insight into the game’s mechanics and his bold strategy highlight the cutthroat nature of Celebrity Traitors. With Alan Carr potentially holding the key to the “magic door,” viewers are left wondering if he can execute this plan and emerge as the ultimate victor. As the game intensifies, one thing is clear: no one is safe in the castle, and Harry’s playbook could be the secret weapon Alan needs to dominate.
