Celebrity Traitors Star Alan Carr Joins New BBC Game Show
Alan Carr, well-known for his role on Celebrity Traitors and his ITV sitcom Changing Ends, has been "poached" by the BBC for a fresh television format. The 49-year-old comedian is set to star in a prime-time quiz show featuring celebrity guests.
The Sun reports that Alan was recently flown abroad to film a pilot for this new BBC series. This move follows rumors about a new TV deal for Alan, coming eight years after his Channel 4 chat show Chatty Man ended.
This significant deal positions Alan in direct competition with his Celebrity Traitors co-star Jonathan Ross, who has recently renewed his contract with ITV to continue hosting The Jonathan Ross Show.
"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 is set to expand his TV presence with a new BBC celebrity quiz show, marking a major move following his success on ITV and renewing competition with Jonathan Ross.
