Fresh from his cunning victory on the BBC's Celebrity Traitors, comedian Alan Carr is making a swift return to television screens in the highly anticipated third series of his semi-autobiographical comedy, Changing Ends.
From Traitor to Teenager: A Look at Changing Ends
The 49-year-old comedian, who was crowned winner of the first celebrity series of The Traitors last week, will reprise his role narrating the story of his younger self, played by child actor Oliver Savell. The show, which launched in June 2023 and has already aired two successful series, offers a humorous look at Carr's upbringing.
The third series is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, 23 November, airing directly after I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here on ITV1, STV, and ITVX. For viewers eager to binge-watch, the entire series will be available to stream on ITVX from 7am on the same day.
A Glimpse into Young Alan's World
ITV has released a first-look promo video that hints at the new series' storyline. The teaser shows a young Alan developing a significant crush on a boy named Jake. As the older Alan narrates, 'So this is it, my libido had gone full throttle... Oh who was I kidding, I was fair for Jake,' the scene is punctuated with text confirming 'Little Alan has a big crush.'
Another humorous moment in the preview shows young Alan's sheer shock as he is unexpectedly picked for a school football team, a scenario sure to resonate with fans of the show's charming and relatable comedy.
A Career on Fire: New Projects and Big Deals
Alan Carr's television presence is more in-demand than ever. His recent triumph on Celebrity Traitors, where he served as a Traitor alongside singer Cat Burns, 25, and presenter Jonathan Ross, 64, has catapulted him back into the spotlight.
His success on the BBC show, which concluded with the remaining Faithfuls being 'gobsmacked' by his reveal, has reportedly led to new opportunities. It was recently revealed that the BBC has 'poached' Carr for a new prime-time quiz show format.
According to reports, Alan was jetted off to a European city to film a pilot for the new series, which will feature celebrity guests. A source stated, 'Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him.' There is even talk of reviving a version of his iconic Channel 4 chat show, Chatty Man.
This potential new deal would see him go head-to-head with his former Traitor co-star Jonathan Ross, who continues his own talk show on ITV.
With the third series of Changing Ends ready to launch and a potential new BBC show on the horizon, it's clear that Alan Carr's winning streak is far from over.
