Alan Carr has revealed he’s no longer friends with Paloma Faith as he broke his silence on their feud after dramatically ‘murdering’ her on Celebrity Traitors.
The comedian, 49, admitted the pregnant singer, 44, was furious at being the first victim on the BBC show as he opened up about their real-life tension.
Alan, who is a Traitor on the show alongside Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns, confessed that he is now desperate to make amends with Paloma.
Speaking on his Life’s A Beach podcast with DJ Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, he said: ‘I’m killing people willy nilly – I’ve got a real taste for it. I killed Paloma Faith. She’s not happy about it.’

He explained: ‘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.”
‘There’ve been a few little TikToky things where she says I’ve let her down because I killed her in plain sight.’
Alan insisted that despite the backlash from fans, he’d simply been playing the game – and panicked in the moment.
He added: ‘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!’
Explaining his decision to ‘murder’ Paloma by touching her face with the pollen of a faux poisoned lily – as per the rules – he joked: ‘I can’t start stroking Stephen Fry’s face and Celia Imrie’s – not at my age! I look creepy as it is.’
Alan revealed he is now desperate to make amends with the Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmaker.
‘I’m going to take her for dinner,’ he said. ‘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.’
His podcast episode, recorded recently, was released on Tuesday – just days after Alan appeared to snub Paloma’s pregnancy announcement.

The singer announced she was pregnant with her third child last week after being booted out of the hit BBC show by friend Alan.
And as Paloma shared her pregnancy news on Instagram it seems the bad blood continues as Alan publicly ignored the exciting news.
Despite Alan not responding to the hitmaker’s news, other Traitors did send their congratulations including host Claudia Winkleman and co-star Kate Garraway.
Paloma has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas, a managing director of venue The JamHouse, for a year.
She captioned her post: ‘Plot twist, mother is mothering (again) #morethangeriatricpregnancy #oappregnancy #oapmilf #18weekspregnant’
The star welcomed a daughter with her ex Leyman Lahcine, who she split from in 2023 after nine years together, in December 2016 and a second baby girl in February 2021.
