Comedian and television personality Alan Carr has secured a significant victory, both on screen and for a vital cause, after winning the BBC's Celebrity Traitors.
A Triumph for Charity
Alan Carr was crowned the winner of Celebrity Traitors, successfully navigating the game's deceptions to claim the entire prize fund of £87,500. In a heartfelt and strategic move, the comedian designated the entire sum to be donated to Neuroblastoma UK, a charity dedicated to fighting a rare childhood cancer. The win, which aired on Saturday 08 November 2025, has been hailed for bringing unprecedented attention to the little-known disease.
A Mother's Gratitude and Raising Awareness
The impact of Carr's platform was powerfully articulated by Katy Yeandle, a bereaved mother whose three-year-old son, Joseph, died from neuroblastoma. Ms Yeandle expressed profound gratitude to the comedian, stating that his high-profile win has initiated crucial public conversations about the condition. She highlighted that neuroblastoma is not widely known, and Carr's actions have been instrumental in shining a spotlight on the realities of childhood cancer.
Long-Standing Patronage and Future Impact
This act of generosity is not a one-off for the entertainer. Alan Carr has been a patron of Neuroblastoma UK for nine years, demonstrating a long-term commitment to their mission. Following his win, Carr described it as a “privilege” to be able to support the charity and use his public profile to highlight its vital work. The charity itself confirmed that the substantial donation will have a “huge impact” on its ongoing efforts to fund research for better treatments and ultimately a cure for neuroblastoma. This aggressive cancer primarily affects children under the age of five, making the need for research and awareness all the more urgent.
