Paloma Faith’s Traitors Betrayal: First Celebrity Murder Shocks Cast

Singer Paloma Faith was the first victim murdered on The Celebrity Traitors UK. The shocking elimination aired on Thursday, October 9. Her real-life friend, comedian Alan Carr, was the traitor who carried out the deadly deed. The betrayal has sent shockwaves through the celebrity cast.

How Alan Carr Executed the Perfect Murder

Alan Carr was chosen by his fellow traitors to perform the murder. His fellow deceptive contestants were Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns. They believed Carr’s tactile nature made him the ideal candidate.

Carr used his friendship with Paloma Faith to his advantage. He pretended to brush a hair from her face. This simple, friendly gesture secretly applied a slow-acting poison.

The murder was not revealed until the next day. Host Claudia Winkleman informed the contestants the victim’s identity would be revealed during a mission. According to the BBC, the group then had to guess which of three celebrities in coffins was the real victim.

They incorrectly guessed comedian Lucy Beaumont. The group was stunned to learn Paloma Faith was the first one eliminated. Her vibrant presence was immediately missed by the remaining players.

Paloma Faith’s Furious Reaction to the Betrayal

Faith later appeared on the show’s official podcast, Uncloaked. Host Ed Gamble revealed the identities of the three traitors. Faith’s reaction was one of pure shock and betrayal.

She was first told Jonathan Ross was a traitor. Faith called him a “geek” and an expletive, but admitted he was good at the role. She then learned that Cat Burns, who shares her record label, was also involved.

The final reveal that Alan Carr was the third traitor was the biggest blow. Faith declared she hoped they would never call her again. She summarized her feelings by stating she felt “really even more betrayed now.”

Despite her anger, Faith conceded the trio were simply doing their jobs well. The entire exchange was taken in good humor, highlighting the game’s intense psychological nature. The event sets a dramatic tone for the rest of the series.

The Paloma Faith Traitors elimination proves no one is safe in the Scottish castle. This early betrayal signals a ruthless game ahead for the remaining celebrities.

What is ‘The Celebrity Traitors’?

‘The Celebrity Traitors’ is a celebrity spin-off of the UK reality show. Contestants work together on missions while secret “Traitors” among them eliminate players. The goal for the “Faithful” is to identify and banish the Traitors before they are all murdered.
