In a stunning conclusion that captivated the nation, comedian Alan Carr was crowned the winner of Celebrity The Traitors 2025, claiming the entire prize fund for a children's cancer charity.
The final, which aired on November 7, 2025, has been described as the most unpredictable in the show's history, with Carr's victory seeming both impossible and inevitable in equal measure.
The Masterful Game of a Underestimated Player
From the outset, host Claudia Winkleman pinpointed Carr's extraordinary trajectory, noting he ‘started as Linda [Rands] and ended as Harry [Clarke]’, referencing two of the most iconic Traitors from past series. This highlighted his evolution from a seemingly benign player to a masterful strategist.
Alan Carr, often celebrated for his self-deprecating humour, revealed a core of sharp intelligence and strategic brilliance throughout the fortnight. His natural charm became his ultimate weapon, allowing him to win over the remaining Faithfuls even when they had him firmly in their sights.
Despite operating in a game where the odds heavily favoured the Faithfuls—especially with sharp players like rugby star Joe Marler and actor Nick Mohammad on the case—Carr's force of personality proved unstoppable.
A Devastating Turn and a Justified Victory
The finale took a dramatic turn when Nick Mohammad, hailed as one of the smartest players, made a catastrophic error. He betrayed his closest ally, Joe Marler, leading to the rugby player's devastating and unexpected banishment just as victory seemed assured.
This left the path clear for Alan Carr, who alongside fellow Traitor Cat Burns, had formed a savage and effective team. In the end, Carr's charm and strategy won the day, securing the £87,500 prize for his chosen charity.
The result has been celebrated as one of the most justified in any version of The Traitors, a true watercooler moment that united viewers in awe of a masterful game played by one of British comedy's most beloved figures.
What's Next for the Traitors Champion?
Alan Carr's win is predicted to send his career to the stratosphere. The article speculates on a potential Strictly Come Dancing appearance, a knighthood, or even the highly-anticipated revival of his beloved talk show, ‘Chatty Man’.
Described as the ‘Beyoncé of British comedy’, Carr's triumph on Celebrity Traitors has solidified his status as a national treasure. His win is not just a personal victory but a moment of national celebration for a performer who has consistently proven his talent and humanity.
