Alan Carr could be raking in millions after winning the Celebrity Traitors.
The beloved comic won the Celebrity Traitors on Thursday night (November 6). The dramatic final, which brought in a whopping 12 million viewers, saw Alan burst into tears after revealing he had been a Traitor all along.
But Carr could be back on our screens sooner than you think as he’s been tipped to host a new chat show on the BBC. The 49-year-old could land himself a big-money deal – and maybe even bring back his iconic Chatty Man talk show back.
Robyn Munro, PR Expert at Vega Comms, has predicted Alan’s next career move and reckons he could be making up to £3 million from TV earnings and endorsements. She told Daily Star: “It seems likely the BBC will be keen to keep Alan Carr firmly on their books.

“Given the current momentum, I believe the most probable next move is Alan Carr hosting a new chat show on the BBC, potentially a revival of Chatty Man or a modernised version of it.
“This makes perfect sense: his skill with celebrity interviews, his comedic persona, and the renewed public interest all combine to make him a compelling choice for a high-profile series.”
She said Alan is in “high demand” from both ITV and BBC, highlighted by ITV having recently commissioned another series of his semi-autobiographical series Changing Ends.

So what shows could we expect to see the former Traitor appear on? Robyn believes Alan is likely to grace BBC panel shows such as Would I Lie to You? and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
“He would also be perfect for Last One Laughing,” Robyn added, “where humour and personality are everything – especially given how brilliant he was on The Celebrity Traitors.”

Could Alan replace Tess and Claudia on Strictly? Despite the rumours, the PR expert thinks the gig is less likely for Alan as it “doesn’t fully align” for either Alan or the BBC.
Let’s talk money. Is Chatty Man going to be raking in the millions? Looks like it. Robyn says Carr will be able to command “significantly higher fees” and earn money across several platforms.
These include higher-fee TV and podcast appearances, new series of his travel show with Amanda Holden, brand deals, and potential stand-up tours. She said: “If he secures a major chat show deal in addition to his ongoing projects, Alan could reasonably earn £500,000-£1.5 million in additional annual TV earnings above his baseline over the next 12–18 months.
“Should he land a top-tier prime-time show, a significant brand partnership, and potential global streaming rights, his total earnings from TV and endorsements could exceed £2-3 million.”
