Comedian and presenter Alan Carr, known for his role in BBC One’s Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, is reportedly joining a new BBC game show format. The move marks a major shift in his television career as he transitions from ITV to the BBC.
According to media reports, the 49-year-old star has traveled abroad to film a pilot episode for a prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests. The project suggests a high-profile collaboration that continues to expand Carr’s strong presence on British television.
This news follows speculation that Carr was negotiating a new TV deal, coming eight years after the end of his Channel 4 chat show Chatty Man. The rumored deal positions him directly against his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who recently renewed his ITV contract for The Jonathan Ross Show.
“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.”
Alan Carr is reportedly shifting from ITV to the BBC to lead a new celebrity quiz show, reinforcing his rising dominance in British entertainment television.
