Alan Carr is poking fun at the drama he found himself at the centre of in the first two episodes of The Celebrity Traitors.

Last week, when the first episodes of Celebrity Traitors premiered on BBC One, the stand-up comedian quickly discovered he was one of three stars who’d been picked to be a Traitor – and let’s just say he didn’t exactly have the easiest time playing it cool.

Following this, he and his fellow Traitors were tasked with “murdering” their first Faithful in plain sight by touching their face, with Alan opting for Paloma Faith, his friend outside of the game, to make the task at hand as simple and inconspicuous as possible.

Posting on Instagram on Monday, Alan made light of the situation, sharing a clip of himself out for a drink while requesting one very specific cocktail…

The Brit Award winner herself even popped up in the comments, quipping: “Mine’s too salty.”

Alan also posted another hilarious video, recreating his Traitors cloak and lantern with the aid of his coat and water bottle, accompanied by Paloma’s track Only Love Can Hurt Like This.

The comedian joked: “It’s not just the bins I’m taking out tonight.”

Paloma also mocked her short stint in the Traitors castle – and the fact her exit was orchestrated by her real-life pal – in various social media videos:

Opening up about being “murdered” by someone she considered a friend, Paloma said last week: “I still maintain to this day that if the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn’t have done that. So, I don’t think he should have done that to me, and I’m surprised that he did.

“But he is extremely lovable and I’ve spoken to him since, and I do find forgiveness quite an easy thing, just as a person, so I love him.”

She then reiterated: “If the shoe was on the other foot, I would not have touched Alan’s face. Categorically, he had a choice. It was a choice. And maybe it was the easiest option, but it was the choice he made. And I think it was not very nice.”

The Celebrity Traitors continues on Wednesday night at 9pm on BBC One.
