Alan Carr, the beloved British comedian, took a darkly comedic turn on Wednesday night's episode of The Traitors. As the tension mounted, Alan showed his cutthroat side, targeting fellow "Traitor" Jonathan Ross. Initially, Alan teamed up with Jonathan and singer Cat Burns in this celebrity edition of the BBC show. But now, Alan's ready to throw Jonathan under the proverbial bus, fearing his ally might drag them down. "I think me and Cat are thick as thieves, and we don't want Jonathan to drag us down," Alan candidly shared with viewers.
"Alan Carr going from obvious sacrifice victim to lobbying for Jonathan Ross to be thrown under the bus is a fantastic villain arc," a fan quipped.
Later, in a tense roundtable discussion, Alan further solidified his villainous role. Speaking with Celia Imrie and Ruth, he questioned Jonathan's loyalty, suggesting he might be the group's weak link. Ruth didn't hold back, labeling Jonathan a "backstabber" after he voted against Faithful Niko, despite their supposed alliance.
Amidst the scheming and plotting, Celia Imrie brought a moment of levity that had everyone in stitches. During a challenge, the 73-year-old actress accidentally let one rip, causing uproarious laughter among her co-stars. "I just farted, Claudia, I'm so sorry," Celia confessed with a chuckle, owning the moment with queenly grace. Fans couldn't get enough of her candidness, rushing to social media to declare it "TV gold."
Celia's unexpected candidness shattered the tension in Claudia Winkleman's eerie wooden cabin, leaving viewers and fellow celebrities in fits of laughter. "Celia Imrie farting in a room full of celebrities is TV gold," one fan exclaimed, while another hailed her as an "absolute legend" for turning an awkward moment into comedic brilliance.
The episode's drama didn't end there. Alan's mischievous antics continued, as he playfully "gaslighted" Celia during the roundtable. With a cheeky grin, he voted for her, quipping, "While you're snooping around the castle, you should take a look in the mirror." The comment left everyone chuckling, lightening the mood amidst the intense gameplay.
Fans of The Traitors are eagerly anticipating the next episode, curious to see how Alan and Cat's alliance will unfold and whether Jonathan will manage to redeem himself. With its mix of strategy, humor, and unexpected moments, the show continues to captivate audiences, leaving them on the edge of their seats each week.
