Poor old Paloma Faith was the first to be 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱…

The Celebrity Traitors was back for its second episode tonight (October 9) and viewers were furious after Alan Carr’s m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲ in plain sight victim was revealed.

Last night, The Celebrity Traitors host Claudia Winkleman welcomed 19 celebrities to her castle in the Scottish Highlands.

Once there, three were chosen as Traitors – Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns. The decision angered some, but not as much as Alan’s decision to off poor Paloma Faith with a slow-working poison.

The Celebrity Traitors – Alan kills Paloma Faith tonight

Tonight’s show saw Alan Carr carry out his m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲o̲u̲s̲ mission. He was tasked with taking poisoned pollen from a lily and rubbing it on someone’s face.

He decided that it had to be one of the girls. And, after wandering into the kitchen and seeing his pal Paloma chatting with Ruth Codd, he decided to carry out his m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲.

Touching Paloma on the cheek and telling her she had a hair on her face, Alan dealt his lethal blow.

The following morning, when everyone turned up for breakfast and no one was 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱, the celebrities were left baffled… Until Claudia came in and told them that appearances could be deceptive and someone was 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 in plain sight last night.

She then told the group that, by the end of today’s mission, one of them would be d3ad. A task that saw the celebrities return to last night’s graveyard for a funeral then took place.

‘Huge mistake m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲i̲n̲g̲ Paloma’

Of course, viewers knew early on in the episode that poor Paloma was going to be the first out. And they were left absolutely furious with Alan Carr.

“Oh Alan, not Paloma!” said one. “ALAN!!! m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲i̲n̲g̲ your bestie,” said another.

Others branded it a “mistake” – both because Alan could’ve benefited from an alliance with Paloma, and because the viewers have been robbed of a massive character early on.

“Huge mistake m̲u̲r̲d̲e̲r̲i̲n̲g̲ Paloma. She strikes me as someone who’d be huge entertainment value re the round table as the game went on,” said one.

“FFS Alan I hate you,” said another. “PALOMA HAS BEEN KILLED OH ALAN WTF HAVE U DONE!?” another devastated fan of the show said.

“Alan Carr is d3ad to me,” said another. “Choosing Paloma was silly, he needs alliances,” another warned.

Time will tell if Alan will manage to survive his first kill… Or if he’ll soon be outed and banished from the castle, just like Paloma.

The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm.
