Alan Carr Embarks on Castle Hunt After Celebrity Traitors Triumph
Comedian and television personality Alan Carr has disclosed his ambitious plan to purchase a castle, a decision spurred by his recent victory on the hit show Celebrity Traitors. In a candid interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, Carr described himself as entering his "turret era," a phrase he coined to reflect this new chapter in his life.
Inspiration from The Traitors and a Desire for Community
Carr, aged 50, explained that his time filming in the atmospheric castle setting of The Traitors ignited a fascination with historic properties. He expressed a longing to move away from his current home, where he has felt increasingly lonely, and instead create a vibrant space filled with life and interaction.
His vision for the castle includes:
- Housing a variety of animals to add charm and activity.
- Fostering a strong community atmosphere where visitors feel welcome.
- Offering traditional cream teas to guests, enhancing the quintessential British experience.
This pursuit is not merely a personal whim; Carr aims to fully immerse himself in the process of finding, acquiring, and managing the property, which he humorously attributes to a "midlife crisis."
Disney+ Series to Document the Journey
The entire castle-hunting adventure will be captured for a new Disney+ series titled Castle Man. This documentary-style show will follow Carr as he navigates the challenges and excitement of securing a historic castle, promising viewers an inside look at his quirky and determined efforts.
International Recognition Post-Celebrity Traitors
During the interview, Carr also shared a lighthearted anecdote about his newfound fame in the United States following his Celebrity Traitors win. He recounted instances where fans approached him, jokingly inquiring if he had "murdered today"—a playful nod to the show's deceptive gameplay that has clearly left a lasting impression abroad.
This blend of personal aspiration and public intrigue underscores Carr's unique position as he transitions from game show winner to potential castle owner, with his journey set to entertain audiences both on and off screen.
