Alan Carr and Paloma Faith appear to have made up after the comedian ‘murdered’ the singer on The Celebrity Traitors.
During the inaugural series of the BBC show last year, Carr – who was a Traitor and later went on to win the show – took out Faith early on, despite their friendship.
The comedy star later claimed that the pair were no longer friends after the episode, though things appeared to take a more positive turn at last night’s (Sunday May 10) BAFTA TV Awards.
Early on in the ceremony, host Greg Davies poked fun at the controversy by noting the show made Carr into a “manipulative serial killer”, adding: “We all know he’s a good person.” It then cut to Faith in the audience wagging her finger in protest.
Carr later won the Memorable Moment award, which is voted for by the public, for his winning moment at the end of the series.
At the end of his acceptance speech, the star said: “I’ve got to dedicate this to Paloma – there ‘s no one else I would rather murder more than you, I love you.”
Earlier on, the official BAFTA X account posted a clip of the two together on the red carpet, writing: “Breaking News: Alan Carr and Paloma Faith are still friends.”
Speaking back in October, Carr was asked on the Life’s A Beach podcast whether he was still mates with Faith, the star replying: “Well I was… I’ll tell you. I’ve killed Paloma Faith, she’s not happy about it.”

He added: “There’s been a few, let’s just say little TikTok-y things where she says I’ve let her down because I killed her in plain sight.
“I was desperate and she went ‘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’s like going on Naked Attraction and being told, ‘what? I have to take my knickers off’. You know, it does what it says on the tin, I can’t help it.”
Faith said of being betrayed after her exit: “These are like three of my favourite people that I was sure… I hope they never call me again. Bang out of order. Bang out of order. I feel really even more betrayed now. I feel betrayed by Jonathan [Ross] and Alan.”
The Celebrity Traitors also won the Best Reality Series award at last night’s BAFTAs, which were dominated by Netflix series Adolescence.
In other news, the line-up for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors was recently unveiled, with the likes of Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, The Last of Us‘ Bella Ramsey, Little Mix‘s Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Joe Lycett and Romesh Ranganathan heading to the castle.
