Celebrity Traitors: A Dramatic Conclusion
The finale of Celebrity Traitors aired on November 7, 2025, concluding with Alan Carr’s victory. Carr, alongside Jonathan Ross and singer Cat Burns, emerged as the champion after a tense competition. The show featured several contestants, including:
- Cat Burns, 25
- Joe Marler, 35 (Rugby player)
- Nick Mohammed, 45 (Actor)
- David Olusoga, 55 (Historian)
Emotional Challenges Faced by Contestants
During the finale, Ross reflected on the emotional toll the competition took on the participants. He mentioned that while Cat Burns managed to view the experience as a game, both he and Alan endured significant stress. “After long nights of filming, we would drive home feeling despondent,” Ross shared.
He expressed empathy for Alan, stating, “We could tell it was getting to him.” The nature of the game often required contestants to make difficult choices, which compounded the emotional strain.
