Who won Celebrity Traitors? Alan Carr pulls off a last-minute masterstroke to take the crown

Comedian Alan Carr has won The Celebrity Traitors, sealing victory in a tense finale that aired on Thursday, 6 November 2025. After weeks of deception, shifting alliances and shock banishments in the Scottish Highlands, Carr outwitted the remaining Faithfuls at the final table and walked away with the £87,500 prize for his chosen charity.

Alan Carr wins Celebrity Traitors

The inaugural celebrity edition ended with Carr—secretly a Traitor—standing beside Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga after rugby star Joe Marler was banished in the penultimate vote. With suspicion briefly diffused and the game paused on a knife edge, the trio opted to end the contest. Only then did Carr reveal his hidden role, stunning his fellow finalists and securing the entire prize pot for charity.

How the Celebrity Traitors final unfolded

The finale delivered classic Traitors theatre from start to finish. Five contenders began the night: Traitors Alan Carr and Cat Burns, plus Faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed, and David Olusoga. A high-stakes mission set aboard a steam train added £20,000 to the kitty, lifting the total to £87,500.

Back at the Round Table, the Faithfuls pounced on Burns, whose banishment thinned the field but left the true danger in play. Momentum then swung on a razor’s edge as debate centered on whether Carr or Marler posed the bigger threat. In a pivotal move, votes coalesced against Marler—one of the season’s most aggressive Traitor hunters—leaving Carr to navigate the final moments with unruffled charm and a carefully calibrated lack of tells. When the remaining three chose to end the game, the twist was complete: a Traitor among them had just claimed it all.

Who made the final five on Celebrity Traitors

• Alan Carr — Traitor, winner; revealed only after the endgame vote.

• Cat Burns — Traitor, banished at the Round Table before the final decision.

• Nick Mohammed — Faithful, reached the endgame but was blindsided by the reveal.

• David Olusoga — Faithful, survived late ties and suspicions to the final three.

• Joe Marler — Faithful, banished in a momentum-shifting vote just before the end.

Why Alan Carr’s Celebrity Traitors win mattered

Carr’s triumph underscored the strategic premium of social calibration over bombast. Throughout the season, he leaned on approachability and lightness of touch—rarely leading charges, rarely over-defending—building a profile that felt “safe” to sit beside in high-pressure votes. That read paid off when it mattered most: by the time the game narrowed to three, he appeared cooperative enough to avoid one last banishment, yet opaque enough to keep his true role veiled.

The charity prize dimension amplified the stakes without dulling the edge. Knowing the pot would support a good cause invited bolder gameplay from Faithfuls and Traitors alike, but it also added a moral wrinkle to endgame decisions: call the wrong bluff, and you don’t just lose—you deliver the entire fund to the opposition. Carr held his nerve, managed the optics, and made the reveal at exactly the right moment.

Celebrity Traitors: what’s next after the finale

The first celebrity outing proved the format’s durability beyond civilian casts, drawing massive attention and lively debate around strategy, ethics and endgame theory. Expect the next run to tinker lightly rather than overhaul: more late-game twists, perhaps a modified mechanism for the final “end or continue” vote, and missions designed to force Traitors into riskier exposure. Casting is likely to remain eclectic—athletes, comics, actors and presenters—because the friction between public personas and private gameplay is part of the show’s magic.

For fans still dissecting the finale, two talking points will endure: whether Marler’s banishment was inevitable once suspicion flipped, and how differently events might have unfolded if the final three had insisted on one more vote. Either way, Alan Carr executed a near-textbook Traitors endgame—low-key, relentlessly personable, and lethal only when the finish line was in sight.
