Celebrity Traitors star Jonathan Ross reacts to Alan Carr winning show
Celebrity Traitors star Jonathan Ross has shared his feelings about co-star Alan Carr winning the show.
Celebrity Traitors star Jonathan Ross was delighted that Alan Carr won the show.
Comedian Alan, 49, broke down in tears when he was crowned the winner of the BBC game show on Thursday (06.11.25) night after he successfully remained undetected as a Traitor throughout the competition.
His win was also as a result of outwitting fellow betrayer, singer Cat Burns, 25, and Faithfuls, former rugby union player Joe Marler, 35, actor Nick Mohammed, 45, and 55-year-old writer David Olusoga.
And 64-year-old broadcaster Jonathan - who was banished as a Traitor in episode seven after Alan and Cat turned on him - commended the comic for playing a good game to bag the £87,500, which will go to a charity of his choice.
Appearing on Friday (07.11.25) morning's episode of ITV's Good Morning Britain, he told Entertainment Editor Richard Arnold, 55, as well as anchors Adil Ray, 51, and 58 year old Kate Garraway - who was a Faithful on Celebrity Traitors: "I wasn’t surprised at Alan’s reaction – I’m thrilled he won."
Jonathan admitted the show was a "tough" experience and was "taking its toll".
He said: "I was thrilled to be in there - I'm not saying anything negative about the show - but I did feel it was much harder than I expected, and I did struggle with that.
"And I know Alan - and Cat, not so much, she said it was a game, and she found it easier to put it into perspective.
"And even though often we'd be driving home much later at night than you [Faithfuls], we'd be in the car, all our heads in our hands going, 'Oh, God.'
"And Alan and I were very aware that it was taking its toll."
Jonathan said it was "horrible at times" to 'murder' his co-stars so that the Traitors could get their hands on the coveted prize pot at the end of the series.
He added: "As a Traitor, you'd be speaking to really nice people who you wanted to support in the show, you wanted to make sure they had a good time as well.
"And then you would suspect or you would be fairly certain that they knew it was you, and so you had to then try and engineer ways of getting them out.
"And then you see them standing there being banished because you've been successful, and then you see that they're upset, and to see someone upset when you're sitting there knowing you played a part in it is a horrible feeling, even though it is essential to the game."
Despite the toll it took, Jonathan was glad he did Celebrity Traitors, adding: "What a lovely opportunity, what an incredible thing to be invited to be a part of, and to see it make so many people happy, for me to be a small part of something that has been a unifying force on television has been a real honour."
