Amanda Holden has revealed the simple clue that told her close friend and co-host Alan Carr was destined for success on the hit BBC show, The Celebrity Traitors.
The Tell-Tale Silence
Holden, who presents Amanda And Alan’s Greek Job with the comedian, grew suspicious when Carr uncharacteristically stopped communicating for a two-week period while filming the show. She noted that the pair typically speak every single day, making his radio silence a glaring anomaly.
"His sudden quiet was a dead giveaway," Holden implied, suggesting that the intense, secretive nature of the game required contestants to cut off from their usual lives. Her instincts proved correct when Carr was crowned the winner of the first British celebrity series.
A Triumphant Victory for Charity
The victory was not just a personal triumph for Carr but a significant win for a vital cause. Through his cunning gameplay, he managed to secure the entire prize fund of £87,500, which he generously donated to Neuroblastoma UK, a charity dedicated to fighting the childhood cancer.
Holden has observed a noticeable surge in Carr's popularity following his televised success. She attributes this renewed public affection largely to his presence on social media platforms like TikTok, where clips and memes from the show have introduced him to a younger, wider audience.
Holden's Own Traitors Ambitions
While thrilled for her friend's win, the Britain's Got Talent judge admitted the format intrigues her. She confessed that if she were ever to participate, she would want to be a Traitor, relishing the opportunity for deception and strategy.
However, fans hoping to see Holden in the castle shouldn't hold their breath. She has firmly ruled out an appearance due to scheduling conflicts with her longstanding commitment to Britain's Got Talent, which films during the same period.
The revelation, made on Tuesday 13 January 2026, highlights the close bond between the two presenters and offers a charming behind-the-scenes glimpse into how Carr's real-life relationships inadvertently hinted at his game-winning performance.
