The TV show The Celebrity Traitors has concluded, with Alan Carr emerging as the winner despite his noticeable nervousness and louder-than-usual speaking volume. One lingering question was the status of Alan's real-life friendship with singer Paloma Faith, whom he "murdered" early in the series.
During the finale of the companion show Uncloaked, host Ed Gamble asked Alan directly about their relationship in front of the audience:
“Now with the nation watching, do you think it's time for an apology? I mean, Paloma's sat right there.”
Alan responded with a mix of discomfort and humor:
“I am so sorry. You know I am and I want to tell everyone that I'm the father of a child. We had a make-up hug, one thing led to another.”
Paloma, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, shared her feelings about the situation:
“Observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions I feel like the reason why Alan won, and the reason why I was so sad, was because we all love him so much. And I love you so much and I'm so happy that you won because it was bloody worth it then.
But I think that most people didn't vote for you because they're like how can we vote someone that's so lovable and it really concludes that thing that you—you won it, you hurt me and I loved you, but....”
Alan lightened the mood referencing Paloma’s 2014 hit:
“Only love can hurt like that..”
The heartfelt exchange revealed that despite the game’s intensity, their friendship endures, marked by genuine affection mixed with playful jabs.
