Comedian and television presenter Alan Carr experienced one of the most surreal moments of his career during filming for the hit BBC show Celebrity Traitors, when producers presented him with a chillingly lifelike replica of his own head.
The hilarious incident, captured on camera and now circulating widely on social media, shows Carr's priceless reaction as he's confronted with the uncanny doppelgänger. "I've had some weird requests in my time," Carr can be heard exclaiming, "but this is next level!"
The Moment of Truth
In the now-viral clip, Carr is seen approaching what appears to be a covered object on a table. As the cloth is removed, the comedian comes face-to-face with an eerily accurate sculptural reproduction of his own features, complete with his signature glasses and hairstyle.
His initial shock quickly gives way to his trademark humour as he examines the replica from every angle. "It's like looking in a mirror," he quips, "but slightly more terrifying!"
Behind the Bizarre Task
The replica head was created as part of a special challenge on Celebrity Traitors, though the exact nature of the task remains under wraps. What's clear is that the production team went to extraordinary lengths to create the prop, which features remarkable attention to detail.
Carr's reaction suggests this was a complete surprise, with the comedian appearing genuinely taken aback by the quality of the reproduction. "They've even got the little lines around my eyes," he notes, examining the sculpture closely.
Social Media Goes Wild
Since the clip surfaced online, fans have been sharing their amusement at Carr's typically British response to the bizarre situation. Many have praised his good humour about the entire affair, while others have expressed both admiration and unease about the replica's accuracy.
One fan commented: "Only Alan Carr could make having a replica head of himself this entertaining!" while another wrote: "This is simultaneously brilliant and deeply unsettling."
The viral moment has only heightened anticipation for the upcoming series of Celebrity Traitors, with viewers eager to see how the replica head factors into the show's trademark psychological games and challenges.
