Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr 'poached for new BBC game show'

Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr poached for new BBC game show

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.”

Summary

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.
