The comedian, 49, soared to victory on the first celebrity series of the popular BBC show but surprised many when he chose to ‘murder’ friend Paloma, 44, early in the game.
The comic chose to make the pregnant singer the first victim, by touching her face with the pollen of a faux poisoned lily, leaving her furious at the betrayal.
But in a behind the scenes video from spin-off show Uncloaked, the pair hugged each other and insisted they are still pals.
Wrapping Paloma in is arms, Alan insisted: ‘Stop worrying. See? We are friends!’
‘It’s all fine,’ the singer agreed before Alan added: ‘We love each other.’

During his appearance on Uncloaked, Alan confessed to feeling immense guilt deceiving his friends, particularly when it came to killing off Paloma.
Trying to defend himself, he told host Ed Gamble that he felt ‘awful’ doing the deed and insisted he had no choice but to pick his pal.
Alan said: ‘The thing is, when I killed Paloma I felt sick inside. And you’ve got to remember, it was such a cruel twist to touch someone’s face. Now, you’re the only one… I mean if I touched any of these other faces, I’d be sent to HR!’
He added: ‘It was so awful. I’m a fan of her music, I’m been a fan of her for a long time, we are friends, we go on each other’s podcasts. So, yeah it absolutely really hurt.’
When asked by Ed if he wanted to say anything to Paloma, who was sat in the audience, Alan apologised to her, before quipping that he had fathered her unborn baby.
He said: ‘I am so sorry. You know I am and I want to tell everyone that I’m the father of her child. We had a make-up hug and one thing led to another!’
As the audience burst into hysterical laughter, Paloma joked back: ‘I have been known to turn people. And it was an enjoyable experience for both of us I hope.’
She then showed that all was forgiven between her and Alan, despite speculation of a feud between the pair, as she voiced her happiness that he had won the competition.

She said: ‘But I just also want to say that I think observing tonight and going through my whole plethora of hormonal emotions, I feel that the reason that Alan won and the reason I was so sad was because we all love him so much.
‘And I love you so much and I’m so happy that you won because it was bloody worth it then. But I think that most people didn’t vote for you, because they’re like “How can we vote someone so lovable?” And it really concludes that thing, that you won it…’
Paloma emotionally added: ‘You hurt me and I loved you’, before Alan cut in to quip: ‘Only love can hurt like that, though!’ in reference to her hit song Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
Laughing, Paloma concluded: ‘I just think that he won it because everyone loves him and the nation loves him, and I’m just really happy that he won.’
She then took to her Instagram Stories after filming Uncloaked to play up the joke, as she pretended to reveal the identity of her baby’s father and what name they’d chosen.
Filming her blossoming bump, she told fans: ‘So everyone, it’s important that I reveal who the father of the baby is that’s in there – and what the name will be also.’
Alan then moved into view and immediately cradled Paloma’s growing belly, saying: ‘Oh beautiful’, as Paloma confirmed: ‘It’s our child. A love child!’
Unable to hold back his giggles, Alan then suggested a name for the little one, saying: ‘What shall we call it – Claudia?’

But, Paloma smirked at the camera and declared: ‘I think it’s going to be called Alan.’
The hitmaker announced she was pregnant with her third child last month after being booted out of the hit BBC show.
Paloma has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas, a managing director of venue The JamHouse, for a year.
The star is already mum to two daughters, aged eight and four, with her ex Leyman Lahcine, who she split from in 2023 after nine years together.
Uncloaked aired right after Alan became the first Celebrity Traitors champion, having managed to remain undetected throughout the competition.
