Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr's talk show 'set for a reboot'

Alan Carr's Chatty Man talk show is reportedly set for a reboot following his triumphant win on Celebrity Traitors and reminding audiences 'how funny he can be'.

In a twist that nobody could have seen coming, the comic, 49, somehow managed to hoodwink Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga into believing he was a Faithful, ensuring that as a Traitor he won the entire £87,500 prize pot.

Chatty Man, which aired on Channel 4 2009-2017 and won Alan a BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance in 2013, could now be making a return as bosses hope to capitalise off his latest success, after 12 million tuned into The Traitors finale. 

The comedian has also been tipped to be Strictly's new host after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced their departure last month after 20 years.

A source said: 'Alan’s comedy talents were showcased perfectly in the Traitors castle and it’s reminded many people just how funny he is.

'Even people who claimed they didn’t like him before have loved watching him laugh and lie his way through the episodes'.

They told The Mirror: 'It would be no surprise if Chatty Man now got a reboot - not necessarily on Channel 4 - and the Beeb could do way worse than letting Alan loose in the ballroom. He’d be a hoot'.

Daily Mail have contacted Alan Carr's representatives for comment. 

It comes after Celebrity Traitors fans have called for Alan to receive a knighthood after his surprise victory on Thursday night's show. 

With a peak of 12 million viewers, it was the BBC's biggest overnight audience since Gavin & Stacey's Christmas special last year.

Viewers watched in awe and bewilderment as Alan snatched the £87,500 prize, despite his previous claims he was as bad a Traitor as series three star Linda Rands.

Alan's surprise win came as a result of Nick, 45, and David, 55, turning on fellow Faithful Joe Marler at the last minute in a shock twist that left viewers reeling. 

Despite Joe, 35, correctly guessing that Alan and Cat Burns, 25, were the remaining Traitors, he failed to convince the others and found himself being banished at the last minute. 

Taking to X/Twitter during the show, viewers expressed their love for Alan as they declared: 'The fact that ALAN has won the entire show after this moment is exactly why I pay my tv license x #CelebrityTraitors'.

'TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR RIGHT THERE. Glorious.' 

'He was the best of traitors, he was the worst of traitors. He made this series incredible and I am absolutely bloody thrilled. YESSSS. #CelebrityTraitors.' 

'TV moment of the year. That was a sensational ending. Alan Carr is DEFINITELY NOT the most hated person in the country right now #CelebrityTraitors.'

'It’s only a game. It’s a bl@@dy reality TV show. It doesn’t really matter but goodness me …. THAT was one of the greatest TV moments you could ever see. Brilliant stuff.'

'Best Traitor Award: Alan Carr Worst Traitor Award: Alan Carr Winner: Alan Carr.'

'Killed 2 in plain sight - Terrible liar - Forgot he had a shield - Couldn’t keep a straight face when saying he was faithful - Voted with Cat in a pair AND HE STILL WON. The greatest worst traitor of all time.'

In the episode, the final five - Cat, Joe, Nick, David, and Alan - faced an epic final mission aboard the show's famous steam train. 

Their mission sounded simple enough: board the train, find the keys, unlock the crates, and collect the gold — all within 20 minutes.

But, in true Traitors fashion, host Claudia added a dramatic twist, revealing that the crates were rigged with explosives. 

Thankfully, the team were able to get the gold and disembark the train before they were detonated, rounding up the prize fund to an impressive £87,500.
