Alan Carr has given an update on his friendship with Paloma Faith after he 'murdered' her on Celebrity Traitors. Comedian Alan, 49, is one of the traitors on the celebrity version of the hit BBC show, and sensationally was responsible for singer Paloma being the first one out of the game, not long after it had all started. The former Chatty Man star, who is a traitor alongside singer Cat Burns and fellow chat show host Jonathan Ross on the programme, spoke out about the current status of their friendship during the latest episode of his Life's A Beach podcast. He was joined by DJ Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim, who directly asked him: "Aren't you mates with Paloma?" before Alan replied: "Well, I was..." Alan then explained that Paloma, 44, disregarded him as a 'real friend' when he killed her off, but he had to remind her that was the whole point of the show. He added: "She said, 'If you were a real friend, you wouldn't have killed me.' But I said, 'I'm the Traitor! The show's called The Traitors - it does what it says on the tin!'" Alan then spoke of the fan reaction to the viral moment, and reminded everyone that he was doing as he was supposed to. He added: "There've been a few little TikToky things where she says I've let her down because I killed her in plain sight. It's like going on Naked Attraction and being told, what, I have to take my knickers off? You know what you're signing up for!" He went on to say that he is going to make it up to Paloma, continuing: "I'm going to take her out for dinner. I love her. I'm such a big fan of her and she's the best - but no one wants to be murdered first on a show. I panicked!" Shortly after it her exit played out on screen, Paloma sat down with Ed Gamble on spin-off show, Uncloaked, and was horrified to discover who the traitors were – and after watching the episode back, quickly dismissed Alan's reasoning that he was left with no choice. She was floored by the revelation of who the traitors were, as she opened a note which named them one by one. She responded: "Jonathan?! The geek! What's a p***k. I'm happy to lose him as a friend." Ed asked: "You didn't have any suspicions about Jonathan?" She replied: "No, no suspicions, but he's obviously really, really studied. He's really good at it." She was equally as stunned to hear Cat was a Traitor. "I'm actually annoyed because she's on the same record label as me she should have some loyalty," she went on. However, Paloma reserved the most scathing attack for Alan. "These are three of my favourite people. I hope they never call me again, I mean that", she said. After watching the episode, she said: "I still maintain this day that if the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn't have done that, so I don't think he should have done it to me and I'm surprised that he did. "He had a choice, and it was not very nice. But he is extremely loveable and I've spoken to him since, and I do find forgiveness quite an easy thing, just as a person. So, I love him." She went on to say she feels "even more betrayed now" after having time digest her murder.
