Alan Carr isn’t optimistic about his chances on The Celebrity Traitors.
The TV host and comedian is one of the many LGBTQ+ stars taking part in the first celebrity edition of the hit BBC show. Alongside him (unless they are murdered or banished, at least) will be Tom Daley, Clare Balding, singer-songwriter Cat Burns and Stephen Fry.
Speaking to the BBC ahead of the start of the series, Carr believed it would take a miracle for him to come out on top. “I’d like to win because I’d like to wipe the smirk off some of my friends’ faces,” he said.
“They said: ‘Alan, you are going to go home first’. I think my agent’s actually booked things for the second week and he’s said to keep the engine running.
“It would be incredible to come out of that castle as a winner, not only to prove to my friends but to prove I can do it to myself.”
Among the other celeb contestants aiming to win £100,000 ($135,000) for charity are radio and TV host Jonathan Ross and singers Charlotte Church and Paloma Faith.
The celebrities must complete a series of challenges as a team but among them are the traitors, hell-bent on secretly sabotaging the missions with the aim of “killing” off their fellow contestants one by one.
The Celebrity Traitors begins at 9pm on BBC1 and the iPlayer on Wednesday (8 October).
