Celebrity Traitors Star Alan Carr Joins New BBC Game Show
Alan Carr, known for his role as a Traitor on the BBC One gameshow Celebrity Traitors, is attracting even more attention. The ITV star, who also stars in his own sitcom Changing Ends on ITV, has been reportedly "poached" by the BBC for a brand-new format.
The 49-year-old comedian has been flown abroad to film a pilot for a new prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests, according to The Sun. This move follows rumors of a fresh TV deal for Carr, coming eight years after his Channel 4 chat show Chatty Man ended.
The new contract is said to put Carr in direct competition with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who recently signed a deal to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV.
"Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him. But the BBC have acted quickly and last week he was jetted out to a swanky European city for a day of filming a pilot."
The BBC’s swift move to secure Carr highlights his rising popularity across networks.
