Celebrity Traitors Star Alan Carr Joins New BBC Game Show
Alan Carr, known for his role on Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, is attracting even more attention as he has been 'poached' by the BBC for a fresh show format.
The 49-year-old comedian, famous for playing a Traitor on the BBC One gameshow, is reportedly heading abroad to film a pilot for a prime-time quiz series featuring celebrity guests, according to The Sun.
This move comes amid rumors of a new TV deal for Alan, nearly a decade after the end of his Channel 4 chat show Chatty Man.
Competition with Jonathan Ross
The deal is expected to position Alan in direct competition with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who recently renewed his contract to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV.
"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 transition from ITV to BBC highlights his rising TV popularity and new opportunities in prime-time entertainment.
