The dramatic finale of Celebrity Traitors left viewers stunned, but it has now been revealed that the broadcast version omitted one of the most extreme reactions to Alan Carr's victory.
The Shocking Finale Revelation
Nick Mohammed, best known for his role in Ted Lasso, has confirmed to The Times that producers significantly edited down his genuine response to discovering that comedian Alan Carr was a Traitor all along. The revelation occurred during Monday's grand finale, where Carr successfully deceived his fellow contestants and won the £87,500 prize for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK.
Mohammed described a moment of pure, unadulterated shock. He admitted to losing control of his legs and collapsing to the floor upon hearing Carr's confession. Alongside fellow Faithful David Olusoga, Mohammed had been completely fooled by Carr's masterful deception throughout the game.
The Edited-Out Reaction
While the episode showed Mohammed's surprise, the actor confirmed that the televised reaction was a tame version of what actually transpired. The original, un-aired response was apparently far more extensive and littered with expletives, capturing the true depth of his astonishment.
Despite the personal shock, Mohammed acknowledged the television gold of the moment, recognising that such a dramatic turn of events would make for "great television". His comments highlight the delicate balance between genuine human reaction and the editorial process of creating compelling reality TV.
Alan Carr's Emotional Victory
For the winning Traitor, Alan Carr, the victory was an emotionally charged experience. His visible breakdown in tears at the final round table was attributed to the immense psychological toll of maintaining the deception throughout the competition.
The emotional weight was compounded by the significance of the prize money, which was entirely donated to Neuroblastoma UK, a charity dedicated to fighting a rare childhood cancer. This added a profound layer of meaning to his strategic gameplay and ultimate triumph.
The finale, which aired on Monday 10 November 2025, has cemented its place as one of the most memorable moments in the show's history, leaving audiences and participants alike reeling from the expertly executed betrayal.
