Alan Carr's 'genius' Celebrity Traitors tactic that could see him win revealed by co-star
Kate Garraway has revealed that Alan Carr developed the ability to constantly look guilty which could throw people off the scent allowing him to win the BBC show
Kate Garraway believes Alan Carr has had a game plan which could see him being crowned winner of Celebrity Traitors. The 58-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter made an appearance on Romesh Ranganathan's BBC Radio 2's Celebrity Traitors special show, where she made the shock admission.
Speaking about Alan's journey on the BBC show, the mum-of-two explained: "I think he's going to win. I don't know. I'm going to say it now." Early into the show, Kate revealed that the cast were asked two questions which they knew to be true and then asked if they were the traitor.
Kate went on to say the tell tale sign was that the celebrities' faces changed as their eyes flickered. She told Romesh: "The flaw in the plan was everybody slightly flickered, their eyes changed so when you say 'are you a mother of five' they just go yes because they're relaxed about that.
She added: "But on every single one Alan looked guilty, even on the ones that were true. So therefore I think his thing is that he looks guilty and the more he mucks up and the more he sweats and the more he can't get out loud 'I'm a Faithful', then the more it plays in to 'Alan's just being Alan'. And I think that's going to be the genius."
Kate, who was a Faithful on the show, was recently banished from the competition which came with a £100,000 prize fund for their chosen charity. Kate's departure was, by her own admission, an emotional one is allowed her to let her hair down and have fun.
She continued: "The whole experience has been transforming. It's been lovely to meet people from different worlds. After five nearly six years of caring for someone you love, your world goes very in and you're literally thinking every minute of the day 'have I done the medication what happens next, where do we need to go'. "
She concluded saying: "So it's been looking in, and then after he passed away, looking in on the children worried for them." Kate's late husband Derek Draper died last year following an ongoing battle with long Covid, which he contracted in 2020.
She went on to say: "Suddenly being able to look out and jump in to other people's lives, like I felt like I was doing with you and all that you've done. I mean people that you've respected for years was amazing and to just play.
"And maybe the one advantage I had was that even though it was so intense and I felt so pressured and I was so useless most of the time, is that when you sort of live genuinely with life and death for a long time, particularly for the first two years, it was daily.
She went on to say: "Then you have got the ability to enjoy something that is just a game. And so I think I almost took too much pleasure in it because it was such a bursting of a valve... and it was lovely.
"It was a real release and I am very conscious that I am very lucky to have had that because there are some people that are caring right now, millions of them that are going through their day with that closed down loving claustrophobia."
