The Celebrity Traitors fans have been left fearing Alan Carr’s run may now be short-lived after they spotted a moment at the roundtable.
The BBC One show returned for another episode on Thursday, hosted by Claudia Winkleman in the epic Scottish castle.
It was a dramatic episode as proceedings kicked off with one murder in the middle of the night, which sent Ruth Codd packing.
It was then a sing-along episode for the starry line-up of celebrities, who were split into Faithfuls and Traitors in the first episode.
Then, after a couple of shields had been secured, the celebrities returned to the roundtable and it seemed that all eyes were on Traitor Jonathan Ross, only for the suspicion to ultimately fall on Clare Balding.
The TV presenter’s elimination came out of almost nowhere, leaving viewers at home tearing their hair out as the gang banished yet another Faithful.
But, when Clare did reveal herself to be a Faithful in her departing speech, fans also noticed that Alan Carr might have given away his Traitorous status.

While everyong else had their heads in their hands with despair at another wrong move, Alan sat at the table giggling away.
The moment has left many at home fearing their favourite might soon be caught out at the roundtable himself.
Taking to X as the episode aired, @a0ife_c wrote: ‘Need Alan to calm it a bit he’s getting too comfortable and I think he’s really gonna put his foot in it soon.’
@TalkAllTopics seemed to think one person in particular clocked the moment, writing: ‘Alan’s god awful tactics definitely pricked Joe Marler’s attention there…’
But others at home thought he might have got away with it, with @HomeOnTheSofa1 writing: ‘Alan playing an absolute blinder, he makes a magnificent villain. Could never have been a faithful or flown under the radar.’
Meanwhile, there was a general sense of despair for the decision to vote Clare out, with @MichelleMurph82 writing: ‘Ffs this is a shambles! Celebrity Traitors, is it the editing or what? Charlotte was barely mentioned but a few people voted for her.’
So who could be next? It’s another week’s wait until we find out for certain. But one thing we do know is that there isn’t quite as much of this season as the regular versions, with a shorter run of episodes.
The series is set to conclude on Thursday, November 6 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, where fans will be treated to a 70-minute episode.
The Celebrity Traitors continues next Wednesday on BBC One at 9pm.
