Celebrity Traitors fans have called on Alan Carr to receive a knighthood after his surprise victory on Thursday night’s show.
It’s estimated that 10 million people tuned in for the grand finale that saw Traitor Alan, 49, hoodwink Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga into believing he was a Faithful.
Viewers watched in awe and bewilderment as Alan snatched the £87,500 prize, despite his previous claims he was as bad a Traitor as series three star Linda Rands.
Alan’s surprise win came as a result of Nick, 45, and David, 55, turning on fellow Faithful Joe Marler at the last minute in a shock twist that left viewers reeling.
Despite Joe, 35, correctly guessing that Alan and Cat Burns, 25, were the remaining Traitors, he failed to convince the others and found himself being banished at the last minute.
Taking to X/Twitter during the show, viewers expressed their love for Alan as they declared: ‘The fact that ALAN has won the entire show after this moment is exactly why I pay my tv license x #CelebrityTraitors’.

‘Killed 2 in plain sight – Terrible liar – Forgot he had a shield – Couldn’t keep a straight face when saying he was faithful – Voted with Cat in a pair AND HE STILL WON. The greatest worst traitor of all time.’
In the episode, the final five – Cat, Joe, Nick, David, and Alan – faced an epic final mission aboard the show’s famous steam train.

Their mission sounded simple enough: board the train, find the keys, unlock the crates, and collect the gold — all within 20 minutes.
But, in true Traitors fashion, host Claudia Winkleman added a dramatic twist, revealing that the crates were rigged with explosives.
Thankfully, the team were able to get the gold and disembark the train before they were detonated, rounding up the prize fund to an impressive £87,500.
The group then faced one last roundtable where suspicions ran high.
Joe, believing Alan and Cat were the Traitors, made a pact to vote against David while secretly plotting to expose them later.
Viewers watched with baited breath as David desperately defended himself, before the singer was voted out after Joe made a last minute U-turn.
Remaining Traitor Alan told viewers, Cat’s departure had ‘thrown a spanner in the works’ as he had to battle it out for the win solo.
Suspicions a Traitor was still lurking in their midst was still high as the songstress did not reveal her true identity in her departing speech.

Reflecting on her time, Cat said: ‘I wouldn’t change a thing. I got to the final. I’m proud of myself.’
Nick then turned on ‘true Faithful’ Joe in the final moments as the final four headed to the firepit to cast stones and reveal if they thought there was still a Traitor among them.
In a shock change of heart, Nick said he doubted Joe after spotting him say ‘I’m sorry’ when he banished Cat.
Nick said: ‘I adore you, honestly I didn’t believe it but you voting for Cat is what sealed it, but I love you.’
Joe said after being banished by his fellow Faithful: ‘I read it so wrong. It hurts to be stabbed in the back last minute like that’.
With just David, Alan and Nick, it was up to them to decide if there was a Traitor in their midst.
David said: ‘I’ve never believed Alan is a Traitor.’
Nick also voted to end the game. The actor said: ‘I genuinely believe both of you are Faithful. I think we did it’ – only for Alan to pull the rug from under their feet when he made his bombshell revelation.
