Alan Carr’s Ex-Husband Reveals Comedian’s “Ruthless Streak” After Celebrity Traitors Win
A surprising revelation from alan Carr’s former spouse suggests the beloved comedian possesses a hidden, more assertive side, following his victory on the BBC game show The Celebrity Traitors. Carr, who secured the complete prize fund for his chosen charity, has been described by an ex-husband as having a “ruthless streak” that contrasts sharply with his public persona.
The chat show host’s win on The Celebrity Traitors captivated audiences, particularly given his seemingly obvious attempts to conceal his identity as a Traitor – often punctuated by nervous laughter and visible perspiration during questioning. Despite thes apparent giveaways,Carr successfully deceived the “Faithfuls” for weeks,ultimately emerging as the sole victor. He became visibly emotional upon his reveal, admitting the experience of being a Traitor was challenging.
However, according to his former husband, Paul Drayton, this emotional display belies a more complex character. Drayton shared that Carr is “very different” behind closed doors. “The person I would see at home was very different to the Alan you see on TV – and he does have a ruthless streak,” he stated.
Did you know? – Alan Carr and Paul Drayton were together for 13 years, marrying in 2018.They finalized their divorce in 2022, citing a mutual decision to keep the reasons private.
Drayton further explained that Carr has a firm boundary and will swiftly distance himself from those he perceives as exploitative. “He will only take so much and then he will say, ‘You’re taking the p*ss, I don’t want anything more to do with you’,” Drayton revealed.”He was tolerant most of the time when we were together, but if he felt someone was taking advantage of him, he would cut them out of his life.”
Carr and Drayton ended their 13-year relationship, including three years of marriage, in 2022, citing a “mutual” decision to keep the reasons for their separation private.
The dynamic between Carr and fellow Celebrity Traitors contestant Paloma Faith also came under scrutiny. Drayton suggested that their friendship had been exaggerated for the purposes of the show. Faith was the first contestant to be “eliminated,” a decision made by Carr himself.
Carr executed the elimination in a calculated manner,informing Faith she had something on her face before subtly brushing it away – a move that sealed her fate. Faith initially expressed disappointment, stating on the Uncloaked podcast, “Categorically, he had a choice – maybe it was the easiest option, but it was the choice he made and I don’t think it was very nice.”
Though, the pair appear to have reconciled, as evidenced by a recent playful exchange on social media. A clip posted online shows Faith asking Carr, “What kind of cocktail do you feel like, Alan?” To which Carr responded with a grin, “Oh, I don’t know – I could murder a Paloma.” He captioned the post: “Anyone thirsty? love you @palomafaith #forgiveme.”
