Celebrity The Traitors

Alan Carr’s hilariously scathing comeback to Tom Daley on Celebrity Traitors was God-tier television

Celebrities taking part include Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, Jonathan Ross, Paloma Faith and Nick Mohammed, plus 14 other familiar faces.

Two of those who have had the internet howling are Tom Daley and Alan Carr. Here are some things people have been saying about them.

However, one exchange between the two looks certain to be among the highlights of the series, if not of all UK TV for 2025. Tom was explaining why he’s so suspicious of Kate Garraway, and Alan’s response was just spectacular.

“‘Oh, my gosh. I’m flabbergasted.’ Like, who uses that word?”

“You can’t just call someone a Traitor because they have a better vocabulary than you.”
