A tense final episode of “Celebrity Traitors” ended with Alan Carr in tears after securing the entire £87,500 prize pot for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK. Viewers watched a surprising turnaround after Carr appeared to lose his cover earlier in the game, only to outplay faithful contestants Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga right at the finish.
Emotional Reveal After the Final Vote
Instagram | theguestlistldn | Alan Carr won the entire £87,500 Celebrity Traitors prize for his charity, Neuroblastoma UK.
When the finalists agreed to end the game, Carr revealed that he had been a traitor all along. The moment was intense, and his reaction told the story. He cried as he announced his win, while the others comforted him despite the fact that he had just taken the entire cash prize from them.
Carr later explained the emotion behind that moment, telling the BBC:
“I think all the deceit, the lying, the murdering of Paloma [Faith] and Celia [Imrie] had all taken its toll.”
“Then it dawned on me that I had won such a huge amount for my charity, Neuroblastoma UK. The charity is so close to my heart that it all became a bit too much.”
The comedian added that he hoped viewers would understand why he reacted so strongly, joking that his tears might help soften the blow of “killing all those national treasures.”
How the Final Unfolded
Singer Paloma Faith was the first star eliminated by the traitors, and Carr was the one who carried out the move, right in front of her. Later, he also removed actor Celia Imrie after raising a toast at a dinner party.
Despite those actions, the final group showed no resentment. The last five contestants, along with host Claudia Winkleman, celebrated together once the result was revealed.
Why the Win Matters to the Charity
Instagram | hitsradiouk | "The Celebrity Traitors" was the highest-rated show of the year, drawing an average of 12.6 million viewers.
Neuroblastoma UK received the full £87,500, and the reaction from the charity was just as emotional. Carr shared that after informing one staff member, they immediately started crying. He also pointed out the impact of the donation, saying:
“Neuroblastoma is such a cruel disease, and this money will literally save lives.”
“It’s a charity and disease that no one has really heard of, so with the viewing figures being what they are, it’s going to be so good for the charity.”
Record-Breaking Viewership
“The Celebrity Traitors” pulled in major ratings. The first four episodes averaged 12.6 million viewers. That made it the most-watched show of the year, based on official seven-day consolidated figures from Barb.
In the last stretch of the game, the final five contestants removed traitor Cat Burns. They then voted out faithful Joe Marler. After that, they decided to end the game, allowing Carr to reveal the truth. A new civilian version of “The Traitors” will air in 2026.
Alan Carr’s win on “Celebrity Traitors” was more than a twist ending. The prize money will help Neuroblastoma UK and bring attention to a disease that many people do not know about. His emotional reaction showed what the victory meant, both to him and to the charity that will now receive vital support.
