Celebrity Traitors Star Alan Carr Joins New BBC Game Show
Alan Carr, known for his role on the popular BBC One game show Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, is attracting even more attention. The comedian, aged 49, has reportedly been "poached" by the BBC for a new prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests.
According to The Sun, Alan was recently flown abroad to film a pilot episode for this upcoming series. This move follows rumors about a new TV deal for Carr, nearly a decade after his Channel 4 chat show Chatty Man ended.
The deal positions Alan to compete directly with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who has recently signed a contract to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV.
A source said, "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."
Summary
Alan Carr’s rising TV profile is confirmed with a new BBC quiz show deal, marking a notable move after years since his last major hosting role.
