Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr 'poached for new BBC game show'
Alan Carr, known for his role on Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, is reportedly joining the BBC for a new project. Following his popularity on the BBC One gameshow as a Traitor, the comedian is set to attract even more attention with this new opportunity.
New BBC Prime-Time Quiz Show
The 49-year-old was flown abroad recently to film a pilot for a prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests, reports The Sun. This move comes amid rumors of a new TV deal, marking eight years since the end of his Channel 4 talk show, Chatty Man.
Competition with Jonathan Ross
The new deal would have Alan Carr competing directly with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who recently renewed his contract with ITV to continue hosting 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."
This development highlights Alan Carr’s rising prominence on television as networks vie to secure his talents for major shows.
