Claudia Winkleman has spoken out about why she picked her trio of traitors for Celebrity Traitors.<\/p>\n

The first episode of the show launched last night to a massive success, the biggest premiere of any season of The Traitors<\/a> thus far, with six million live viewers.<\/p>\n

The all-star cast of the show had fans on Reddit<\/a> calling it the most star-studded season of reality TV in UK<\/a> history, with celebs such as Stephen Fry, Niko Omilana<\/a>, Clare Balding, Lucy Beaumont, and Alan Carr amongst the cast list.<\/p>\n

Despite some viewers feeling that Claudia\u2019s fears<\/a> about the spin-off had been confirmed by the first episode, a number absolutely loved the celebrity<\/a> version of the show.<\/p>\n

This was in large part due to her selection of traitors, one of whom was deemed the \u2018worst Traitor ever<\/a>\u2019 by viewers, something that mega fans know is actually a huge compliment when it comes to entertainment value.<\/p>\n

Spoilers ahead for the identity of the three traitors on Celebrity Traitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, Claudia went with Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr for her choice of the three traitors.<\/p>\n

Whilst Ross and Burns were immediately devious and duplicitous as they should be, Carr was immediately sweating and nervous, at one point openly talking about being a traitor with a Faithful in a nearby room.<\/p>\n

One fan took to Reddit to discuss Carr as a traitor, saying: \u201cAlan Carr might be one of the worst traitors ever but hey I’m laughing and he’s completely self-aware so even better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst many would probably agree \u2013 Carr was a shoe-in to be picked according to Claudia.<\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/div>\n

Alan Carr was a shoe-in to be a Traitor, according to Claudia (BBC)<\/p><\/div>\n

She said in an interview with the Radio Times: “I do those chats with them and they’re much longer than you see. Then I go into a room with the bosses from the BBC, the brilliant casting group, and we sort of work [it] out together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don’t have long, but Alan said he wanted to be a Traitor, and they were compelling. So how could you not?”<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC prior to the show\u2019s release, Alan said: \u201cWell people have asked, would you like to be a Traitor?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer is, I don’t know. I’m fascinated to know how I would cope with it if I was.<\/p>\n

“I’m not known for my poker face, but you’ve just got to adapt. I’m indecisive, and that’s the problem. But I think that’s probably good because I\u2019d say it\u2019s best to have an open mind.”<\/p>\n

He finally added: “If I’m a Traitor, I\u2019ll try to murder as many people as possible. If I’m a Faithful, I’ll try and catch those Traitors. Whichever side, I think you can\u2019t help but get sucked in.<\/p>\n

“It becomes your world and that’s the part that I’m quite looking forward to, the routine of it and just being fully immersed in it.”<\/p>\n

The next episode of Celebrity Traitors airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
