Paloma Faith says 'you hurt me' to Alan Carr as truth about rift revealed
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors has wrapped up, with Alan Carr emerging as the winner, even while joking about his nerves and his loud energy. Yet, one big question lingered — how are things between Alan and singer Paloma Faith, his real-life friend he “eliminated” early in the series?
Alan Carr faces the question
During the final episode of the spin-off show Uncloaked, host Ed Gamble asked Alan directly:
"Now with the nation watching, do you think it's time for an apology? I mean, Paloma's sat right there."
Alan, visibly amused but slightly uneasy, replied with 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 Faith responds with emotion
Paloma, currently expecting her fourth child, shared her heartfelt feelings about the show and her friendship with Alan:
"Observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions, I feel that the reason why Alan won, and the reason why I was sad, was because we all love him so much. I love you so much and I'm so happy that you won because it was bloody worth it then."
She added with sincerity:
"Most people didn’t vote for you because they thought, how can we vote against someone so lovable? It really concludes that you won it, you hurt me and I loved you, but..."
A playful nod to her music
Alan ended the moment with his characteristic wit, referencing Paloma’s 2014 hit with a teasing remark:
"Only love can hurt like that."
Despite the televised tension, the exchange revealed warmth and affection between the two friends.
